Use of Self in Coaching

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom”
- Aristotle

This workshop explores how our presence as coaches becomes a powerful intervention in itself. Beyond techniques and questions, we will focus on the conscious use of self, how our thoughts, emotions, and body awareness can support deeper client insight and transformation. Participants will reflect on how they show up in sessions and how this shapes the coaching space. Through practical insights and short experiential moments, coaches will strengthen their awareness and relational presence. Join this session to deepen your impact by working not only on what you do, but on who you are as a coach. There will be also demo live session in the end of presentation.
