Coaching to the Soul

A Unique Opportunity for You to:

• Learn from Aboodi’s coaching demonstration using his style and approach.
• Extend your expertise with tools and tips from seasoned practitioners.
• Revisit your coaching model and include some of these radical perspectives.
• Understand how this approach would fit in an organisational and leadership context.

Structure of The Masterclasses

The programme is divided into two parts.

Part 1: 9am – 1pm

Aboodi as Master Coach wil:

• Look at how to truly deepen our capacity to be present with the client, to listen beyond the goals, and to leap beyond our techniques in order to serve the client in discovering the authentic articulation of who they are.
• The class will be highly experiential with plenty of coaching and reflective exercises.

Part 2: 2 – 4.30pm

Facilitated Peer Practice Groups

This is your opportunity, in a small facilitated peer group, to discuss the impact of the Master Coach input on your own theoretical and philosophical approach.

There will then be time to practice coaching supervision with some of the techniques and methodologies that have been illustrated by Aboodi.

The Masterclass Subject

In our increasingly rational culture, we have learned to invalidate that which can’t be measured or analysed. We don’t value that which makes no sense, or has no apparent purpose. We learn to communicate strategically, effectively, and intelligently, but at the expense of truly expressing ourselves. And, when we cannot express ourselves fully, our magic cannot show up. We might well be performing well against measurable targets, but we are like empty shells, living lives that are automatic and soulless.

I want to suggest that the human soul longs, perhaps more than anything else, to express itself and be heard or seen. It doesn't need to be fixed, or told what to do next, or given a solution. It simply longs to be witnessed.

Coaching that doesn’t include this capacity to deeply listen misses out on the essential core of the client’s being, and can only really be skin-deep.
