ICF Chapter Presentations The Power of Presence: Enhancing Coaching through the Art of Noticing

Have you ever had difficulty in being fully present and engaged with your clients in a coaching session? It takes being open to “notice” all that’s happening not only with our clients but with ourselves as well. This “noticing” though takes practice in recognizing the many layers of information available to us.

In this experiential session, participants will be invited to engage in “noticing” through using various mediums like images and music presented in a manner that can help shift our mindsets by removing the filters that can stand in the way of being fully present.

This session will focus on the ICF Competency #2 Embodies a Coaching Mindset and through the exercises, reflections and learning, participants will take away a greater awareness of what it takes for coaches to be present to be able to shift into a deeper level of noticing with “a mindset that is open, curious, flexible and client-centered”.

1.5 CCEs (0.75 Core + 0.75 Resource)

We offer this session to ICF chapters and coaching groups around the world. Please reach out if you are interested in us presenting to you chapter.

"Diane McCoy and Jackie McConaghy delivered a powerful and thought-provoking session on 'The Power of Presence: Enhancing Coaching through the Art of Noticing"'for our Certified Resilience Coach Community of Practice. Their presence was grounding, and the experiential approach invited deep reflection and embodiment. They skillfully wove in the ICF Core Competencies -especially Embodies a Coaching Mindset and Maintains Presence - not just as concepts, but as lived practices. It was a masterclass in holding space with intention and care."
