AWESOME WORK BEING DONE BY VISUAL COACHES

Certification Logo - 600x600px (actual size) It’s Tuesday, so I’m about to lead the weekly session for this season’s Visual Coach Certification®.

Today we’re covering “Focus on the Future”, ways to hold the aspirational space for clients, so they can effectively envision their desired “Next Self”.

Visioning is one of my favorite activities, so it’s very fun and enjoyable to pass along the ins and outs that I’ve learned over the years to this group of dedicated Process Professionals.

I’m struck with how excited I am about the work that is happening, not only by this current cohort but by the past ones too (as I’m concurrently making my way through the exit exams of last year’s cohort too).

Current Cohort Off With a Bang! VCC Maps and BooklestsThis 2014 cohort is off with a bang … some of them are doing their client work immediately after the training as soon as the maps and instructional eBooks have been released to them.

Its been over a decade since I created The SHIFT-IT Visual Coaching System® … and it’s very gratifying to empower others, through Visual Coach Certification, to use it with their own clientele.

And to hold the process container for them as they learn how to properly coach using visuals overall. To see this expansion emerge from a passion that I diligently pursed (despite some pretty strong skepticism at times I might add)  … well, it’s very sweet to be proved right!

NING Posts: Like Easter Eggs Being Delivered!
I run Visual Coach Certification (and all of my other classes too) with a NING forum … which is a private place for us to connect and share resources as we move through the material.

It’s like Easter eggs or something as equally yummy when I get a notification that a coach has uploaded his or her maps for sharing and review. What treasures have just been put on the virtual coffee table for us to view?!

What new things am I going to witness … cause my knowledge and understanding about Visual Coaching grows too, as these wonderful folks take the methods into new territories and client populations.

Breakthroughs Happening Via Technology:
Technology is really rapidly changing the work now too in so many ways.  Where back in the day my beginning experimentation’s with Visual Coaching were solely by using the big paper method (mural size sheets of paper taped to the wall upon which I drew out (in words, pictures and color) what my clients were focusing on). eyeball

Now there are so many different delivery options to choose from. In-person in various paper formats (hand-drawn or pre-printed templates) and/or distance via phone or various web conferencing techniques (with now the ability to mimic the SIMULTANEOUS INTERACTION that we used to only be able to do when both the Client and the Visual Coach were in the same room).

Despite the challenges in keeping up with rapidly changing technology, it’s truly such an AMAZING time to be doing this work.  We ride on the coattails of our whole world’s adoption of more visual ways of being (a necessity to more effectively surf the data that is coming at us).

Well, I gotta go prep my presentation slides for today’s session.  Have a happy anticipatory feeling as I do so … as I’m looking forward to checking in to see what this last week brought them in terms of Visual Coaching adventures.  Some more Life Maps have been uploaded and Eileen just uploaded one round of Investigate Your Now tools … so the conversation is going to be juicy!

P.S. Visual Coach Certification is offered once a year.  Next cohort is April 2015. Two pre-requisites (or equivalent experience) is required … get going on the prerequisites if you wanna join us next year!
