Welcome to the last 2012 tele-class for the Community of Practice for Energy Work and Coaching. Over the year I have incorporated three different modalities in the calls—mindfulness, somatic coaching and Core Individuation energy work. Using this three-pronged approach we have touched upon issues that influence and impact our way of being with clients and learned specific practices we can do that strengthen our core competencies in the areas of Centered Presence, Active Listening, Powerful Questions, and Direct Communication.

Participants have brought courage, commitment and playfulness to these coaching sessions, demonstrating skill and ease as they tackle new practices.

James Flaherty, my first coaching teacher used to say we have private and public identities; often these identities differ. Our pubic identity may show us as successful, powerful, even happy, while our private identity is built upon shame or guilt. Our job as coaches is to both awaken our clients to explore these identities and provide practices they can do to close the gaps between these identities. Why? We all want to experience wholeness-that sense of ease and spaciousness guiding us to be open to possibilities.

During each monthly call we experiment with different practices, using the time as a mini -laboratory. Like our clients, we resonate towards some practices and resist doing others. Ironically, the practices we resist doing are the ones that will bring us the best results.
