Joel Monk, co-founder of Coaches Rising, and Ellen Waenink, Course Steward, will officially close the Coaching Summit. We will sink in together, explore themes from the summit, meditate, practice embodiment, connect with each other and the collective field of learning that we formed the past weeks.
In this panel we will explore the role coaches can play in our times to help our clients thrive in a way that is trauma informed. We will explore the following questions:
- Is there a clear line between coaching and therapy? If so, how might we define that? What does that definition open up and close down?
- What role can coaches play in these times to help their clients thrive, in a way that is trauma informed or acknowledges that clients come in with both historical conditioning and contextual trauma ( from our current uncertain volatile world)
- What ways do we approach our own well-being that are outdated or misinformed?
- How does trauma and shadow inform one another?
Whatever else presence is it has to include being able to be with what is. One of the skills that master coaches develop is the capacity to be with what is; in the client, in themselves and in the coaching relationship.
Candor begins by being willing to experience what is. Denial and deception are our attempts to not be with reality in ourselves and in others. Once I’m willing to see reality free from my filters the next step is to say what I see. Candor is describing my unarguable experience in this now moment. It includes my internal experience and my experience of the client and our relationship.
Candor is a choice to reveal and not to conceal and the practice of candor brings me instantly into presence and into the possibility of connected relationship with the client. Coaching is, in some ways, an intimacy experience. Intimacy can be described as IN-TO-ME-SEE …. That requires candor.
During times of chaos and upheaval we can easily be caught in the polarities of despair, or frantic activity. In this session we will inquire into the possibilities that an embodied spirit offers us as a sanctuary during tumultuous transitions, and as a place in which we can take wise, compassionate, skillful action. We will engage in practices and distinctions that allow us to cherish the mystery while having our feet firmly on the ground
Our very own Ellen Waenink will lead you through a deeply experiential workshop to help you explore the themes and experiences you’ve been having in the summit, and integrate them into your coaching work.
In this interactive workshop, participants will be introduced to one of the most powerful tools available to deal with everyday tensions everyone faces. These tensions can be best understood as polarities—competing values, interests, goals, or commitments that can lead to conflict and struggle within oneself and with others.
You will learn how you and your clients can develop polarity wisdom to address the complexities of our world today and tomorrow.
- Understand how polarities work by learning effective tools and principles—through explanation, exercises, and application.
- Distinguish between problems to solve and polarities to manage.
- Interpret some day-to-day issues you face in terms of polarity, and enhance your capacity to move through change more efficiently.
- Take away a highly practical toolkit you can begin to use immediately for your own learning, with your team, and with your clients—to improve both performance and development
Description: in this panel we will explore with leading figures in the field of coaching the following questions:
- What stands out (excites you / concerns you) most to you as you consider the field of coaching as a whole?
- How are we being invited to adapt in these times in order to serve our clients more deeply?
- What opportunities do you see and what is puzzling you?
- How are you making sense of the times we find ourselves in and what is the work to be done?
- What approaches and practices do you feel are essential for coaches in these times?
This exercise is part of of the Episode " Integral Coaching - Coaching from the Field "
- Experience accessing the subtle, non-local, informational field that forms in deep connection and presence with your client
- Understand and practice a first definition of presence: “I am here and I am available”
- Learn practices that shift your state of presence with your client so you can create and transmit a highly transformative field
In this workshop Due will introduce key distinctions and tools that will support you and your clients to begin rewiring the brain to align and integrate the whole self. In doing so you and your clients will tap into the resilience and compassion that naturally arises when we stop disowning marginalized aspects of ourselves.
The racial reckoning post-George Floyd’s murder has brought race to the forefront of the culture wars in the U.S. On the progressive left, an anti-racist ideology led by the likes of Ibram X. Kendi centers racism and “white supremacy” as the basis of continuing social and economic disparities. On the far right, populist authoritarians gravitate to conspiracy theories and identify enemies from within and without, including those they deem “race” hustlers. On both sides, identity politics override the basis of a liberal democracy grounded in shared civic and cultural principles and practices.
Join author and Senior Fellow of the Institute for Cultural Evolution, Greg Thomas, to unpack:
- How to avoid the deadly conflation of race and culture
- Why understanding racialization and a racial worldview is key to overcoming racism, whether personal, interpersonal, or systemic
- Why cultural intelligence is essential to an emerging Integral and Metamodern worldview that leaves race in the dustbin of history
- Learn how you as a coach can tap into and amplify your own Complexity Genius so you too can thrive in the world of complexity
- Explore some of the particular contexts that trigger you out of Complexity Fitness, and how to navigate them in both your life and work
- Discover ways to consciously engage your Complexity Genius, and how to scale it in support of your clients
In this panel we will explore the times we are in, making sense of the transition that we are going through, including which ideas we hold about the world that need to be questioned – and the consequences of all this on the work we do as transformational coaches and guides. How are practitioners being invited to adapt so they can serve more deeply in these times?
