Description
Gestalt concepts and methodology offer a holistic approach to human development that has powerful application in coaching. A Gestalt coach closely attends to how a person organizes her present experience and builds the person's awareness. According to Gestalt Theory, building a client's awareness is primary and must precede formulating action if a person is to achieve functional and sustainable change. This awareness is pivotal to supporting greater choice and range of action.
In session two of the (optional) four-part series, taste Gestalt methodology and explore the Gestalt approach to coaching through experiential learning and dialogue. This two-day session introduces key Gestalt coaching theory and methodologies.
