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 the following week.

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

136 Taking Diversity out of the Box - Exploring Cultural Discourses and Bios for Coaches
In this class students will dive into the topic of “cultural bios, stories and narratives.” Exploring the meaning of ‘cultural discourses,’ students will interact in conversations and activities that will deepen their awareness of their own cultural blind spots, biases and assumptions, values and beliefs. Understanding ourselves and others is crucial to the success of coaching. Meeting our coaching clients where they are is essential to the impact that we can make as coaches. In this class students become awake and aware about the impact that their cultural discourses have on their ability to create a safe, belonging, and trusting coaching environment.
Students will begin to create the foundation for their cultural bios and will be asked to write their cultural bios as homework assignment
