Life Coach training

Humanistic life coach training

A one-day introduction to life coaching, humanistic style!

Life coaching has been defined as “a solution-focused, results-orientated...process” for a wide range of life and work issues. But what does this mean and how does it differ from other forms of developmental work? For practitioners in the people development field it may seem an opportunity to broaden one’s work but for others a threat to humanistic values. This workshop will explore how a humanistic approach has a major part to play in coaching, what a humanistic coaching session might look like, areas where it might be useful and some myths and realities of working as a coach, as well as offering some practice using a coaching methodology.
