The Masterclass Subject

What is creativity? What can creativity bring to the coaching experience? How can you employ creative techniques in your coaching practice?

In this communicative and interactive Masterclass you will discover the power creativity can have for you as a coach. You will learn to see creativity as a process rather than an end in itself. You will refresh your understanding of SAVI (somatic, auditory, visual and intellectual) learning styles.

The workshop will then provide you with opportunities to experience a range of creative techniques across the SAVI learning styles. It will give you space to start thinking about the use of creative approaches in your own coaching sessions and how they might be adapted to suit different coachees’ needs.
