Great news…. We have added a place to the discussion board for grief coaching. It is under Cafe and Social Area.

Come and join us in discussion, sharing, laughter, share marketing strategies, coaching models, stories and more.

Uniting in a coaching niche that is very particular, a niche that is greatly needed in the world today. Grief is a normal and necessary reaction to life. Healing is different for every person. There is no right or wrong way to go through grief and it can be overwhelming, thus making an opening for a coaching niche to help those lost along the path to move forward through their grief journey.

A caring heart and someone who will listen and understand the pain of loss is the healing a great grief coach can offer.

Come join in with others who have the heart to heal the broken hearted and reveal life after loss.

 All are welcomed.

Coaching Presence is defined by the ICF as the “ability to be fully conscious and  create spontaneous relationship with the client, employing a style that is open, flexible and confident.” Easily said, but not so easily done, right? And if we are achieving coaching presence, how do we know? Not to mention that as coaches, we are expected to exhibit this competency in our coaching if we are committed to adhering to ICF Core Competencies.
