When Words are Not Enough

In this webinar we will be talking with Anna Sheather, to explore how coaches and supervisors can work with clients when words are not enough.

Discover the importance of recognizing when a verbal coaching space is not succeeding. Learn why shifting to other approaches is vital if our clients are to express themselves, connect with their experiences, and achieve lasting success.

Through neuroscience and research, we will explore why staying in a verbal space inhibits working with our holistic selves, and why shifting to non-verbal approaches may be effective.

Anna will talk about her own expressive visual art-based practice, as well as other creative ways to coach beyond words, bringing deeper understanding, new perspectives and meaning for our clients, leading to lasting change.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • How to recognize when verbal coaching is not succeeding
  • Other approaches that move us beyond words
  • Why using creative, expressive approaches are important for successful coaching outcomes
  • Some of the neuroscience behind why non-verbal approaches are so effective

Who is this for?

New Coaches, Seasoned Coaches, Executive Coaches, Team Coaches, Personal or Career Coaches, Leader Coaches, Health Coaches, Supervisors and Internal Coaches.
