This workshop is designed to introduce coaches to the core elements of a narrative approach to coaching. It is recommended that participants have a sufficient base of experience in coaching, base of understanding of psychology, and base of self-awareness to be able to work at this level. The workshop is designed to be highly participatory and provide time for reflective practice to support the integration of new awareness and learning. As I say in my corporate workshops, you cannot learn to swim by the side of the pool. Therefore, we will dive into:

• The fundamentals of narrative psychology and structure as a way to ground our work together
• The foundations in philosophy and mindfulness for a narrative approach to coaching
• The uses of Jungian and complexity principles to navigate the narrative field and material in coaching
• The ways in which to listen to client stories in a meditative yet powerful manner to forward the conversation
• The strategies for dealing with common issues that can arise for clients with their stories
• The ethics of working at the narrative level with clients
