Co-Active Balance
3 Days | In-Person Workshop
People always say they want more balance in their lives. What they usually want is to feel they are choosing their life, not just reacting to it. The second course in Step 2 of our professional coach training Core Curriculum is Balance. Balance coaching is a way to guide clients toward making powerful life choices and selecting the experiences they want most. Balance coaching also guides clients away from moving through life mindlessly, at the mercy of circumstances, or trying to “have it all.”
In this course, coaches learn how to assist their clients in developing new perspectives and how to create a plan of action grounded in commitment to what is most meaningful.

Balance coaching is designed to create flow, restore alignment, and regain control of life.
When conversations focus on what you have control over and what choices are possible, you help people gain new perspectives. Balance gives you the tools to empower clients to define and pursue the experiences they want most, resulting in action that is alive, effective, and empowered.

Co-Active Process
3 Days | In-Person Workshop
The third course in Step 2 of our professional coach training Core Curriculum is Process. While a lot of coaching focuses on moving forward, Process coaching focuses on the internal experience, on what is happening at the moment. You’ll learn to help clients work through emotionally charged issues. You’ll help them to understand that—although uncomfortable—chaos, confusion, and inertia are a vital part of achieving forward motion in life.
Process coaching is about being with clients wherever they are, especially when they are experiencing emotional turbulence in the rapids of their lives.

The Experience
As a coach, you will be with people in the river of their lives as it flows slower or faster and as it hits unexpected rapids. Being with people in both their messy and ecstatic places allows them to feel known and to more fully know themselves. This is some of the most important work you can do.
Coaches and managers who are skillful at navigating emotional waters create an environment where it is safe and joyous to be fully human. Unless you can mindfully explore these places, your coaching will lack depth, breadth, and impact.
