B4 Using Art, Writing, Fieldwork, Experiments and Rituals in Facilitating and Coaching
Level: Experienced

As an experienced facilitator or coach, explore five interventions useful for accessing intuitive wisdom and creativity with groups and individuals. Based on Anne and Dale's recent publication, “Facilitative Coaching: A toolkit for Expanding Your Repertoire and Achieving Lasting Results," these proven interventions help you and your clients get to the essence of issues that can be difficult to identify and express. We will guide you in experiencing our interventions and help you create your own. We will also work with the "inner critic" that usually arises when we start to explore new ways of approaching issues.
