317: Courageous Coaching
In this group session, we will coach two different participants with an eye towards exploring the courageous potential moves. What would an MCC do in this circumstance? What would deepen the experience and bring the client (and coach) to a new level of insight? We will use an "additive model" of round robin coaching.

129: Stacked Questions
Asking powerful questions is an important coaching competency. Stacking questions is asking more than one question consecutively without leaving space for the client to answer. This class will focus on why we commonly do that (we all do it!), the impact on the client (often confusion) and how to stop.

318: Preparing for the MCC ICF Credentialing Exam
Intervision is a supervision process among peers. Supervision aims to support coaches in ways that are restorative (e.g. self-confidence), formative (e.g. new learning and development) and normative (e.g. ethical clarity). Coaches typically leave supervision feeling resourced. This is an opportunity for you to bring forward issues that you are facing as a coach.

133 Ethical Maturity Part One
On the surface, a code of ethics is fairly straightforward. In practice, it can be messier. In this 2 hour session, we will explore real ethical dilemmas participating coaches face in their practice, using Michael Carroll’s lens of ethical maturity. This is defined as “having the reflective, rational, emotional and intuitive capacity to decide whether actions are right and wrong or good and better, having the resilience and courage to implement those decisions, being accountable for ethical decisions made (publicly or privately), and being able to learn from and live with the experience(s)” (in Erik de Haan Supervision in Action 2012). An assignment will be given to all participants in order to prepare for Part Two on 24th June!

135: Working with the Body (yours and theirs)
Our somatic experience – what happens in our bodies – is as important to forming the observers we are as are our thoughts and emotions. In coaching, attending to “the body”, our client’s and our own, is a powerful avenue for discovery, learning and growth. Our clients’ thoughts and emotions are held in, shaped by and expressed through their bodies, which have their own wordless wisdom. Coaching to the client’s somatic experience can accelerate their ability to find liberating new perspectives and make meaningful changes in their lives. In this session we will explore the links between body, thought, and emotion, how to bring the client’s attention to their somatic experience in useful ways, how to support them in learning through the body, and how to use our own body experience effectively in our coaching

One of the best ways for new coaches to learn skillful coaching is to be coached by experienced ontological coaches and then debrief the coaching with them.

Particpants should be prepared with at least one topic they are personally willing to be coached on in front of others.

124: Lightness and Gentle Irreverence
Coaching presence that is light and gently irreverent can serve a client by helping them to see the patterns they live in may have become too small. Within the context of a trusting coaching relationship, lightness and humor gently shine a light on the breakdown – sometimes more effectively than through more direct means. Involves the core competencies of establishing trust and intimacy, direct communication and powerful questions

108 Exploring Moods and Emotions in Coaching
Moods and emotions are one of the three main categories of human experience that ontological coaches use to help clients discover their breakdowns. In this course, students will look at the distinctions between emotions and moods. They also will take a look at four basic moods – resentment, resignation, acceptance and ambition. Understanding which mood clients spend their time in helps reveal what types of actions are available.

123: Communicating Effectively - Directly and Effectively Challenging Your Client
An effective coach balances challenge and support. Effectively challenging our clients when we observe incongruencies in what they say or do is an opportunity for them to become aware of their breakdowns. The work for the coach is to approach the client with curiosity in offering feedback. The coach strives to offer input without attachment to whether their observations will resonate or not. Come and practice these coaching moves with other coaches to improve your ability to communicate directly.

107 Learning to Learn
Ontological coaching uses the approach of observing what it means to be a human being. Epistemology, how we learn, is a component of what it means to be human. In what ways do we support or detract from our learning? How do we determine what territories we need to explore? Join us for a conversation on what learning has to do with coaching.
