Working with the body in coaching - Aboodi Shabi - Henley Business School Finland

Webinar: Working with the body in coaching

‘Mr Duffy lived at a little distance from his body.’ (James Joyce, Dubliners)

What is the webinar about?

We might think of coaching as a talking profession – the client talks about an issue, and the coach listens and asks questions.

But we are not disembodied voices – there is a body doing the talking, and a body doing the listening and asking. And, outside the coaching session, the client’s body (in addition to their words) affects how they show up in life and the impact they make.

During this webinar with Aboodi Shabi, we will look at how to work with the body in coaching, working with the coach’s awareness of their own body, and bringing the client’s awareness to their body, and what it reveals and has to say, to support them in exploring and understanding their coaching issues more deeply, and to develop somatic practices to build range and increase effectiveness.

Who should attend?

This webinar is suitable for all coaches who want to know more about how working with the body could enhance their coaching.

The webinar is free of charge.
