I believe learning to practice self-compassion is an absolutely vital skill for coaches and for leaders from all walks of life. So, I’m taking a course on it. Here’s the course outline!
I wrote a post last week about The Power of Self-Compassion course. I told you that I watched the free videos (loved them) and then I signed up for the full course, because I think this is such an essential professional development program for coaches.
So many of the challenges my clients face are overcome when they understand the importance of quieting the overpowering critical voice that discourages them from taking action on their goals.
When that voice is replaced with affirming self-compassion the change is dramatic.
I’ve just received an overview of the program content and I wanted to be sure to share it with you. Just in case you are considering building these skills in yourself, your clients, or your direct reports. This research-based training will accelerate and deepen the way you build self-compassion:
OVER 8 HOURS OF IMMERSIVE VIDEO TEACHINGS
Each week you’ll learn with Kristin and Chris through video trainings, where you’ll explore the science of self-compassion, illuminating stories, guided practices, and more. All sessions will be available in downloadable audio format for convenient, on-the-go listening.
COMMUNITY MENTORING
Personal guidance and community makes a real difference in learning self-compassion. Your registration includes community mentoring sessions led by senior instructors hand-picked by Chris and Kristin.
INFORMAL “ON-THE-SPOT” PRACTICES
Simple exercises to use in the moment, when you need immediate relief and have only a few minutes to spare.
HOME PRACTICES
At the end of each session, Kristin and Chris provide in-depth “during-the-week” practices to help you to dive further into the day’s topics on your own.
ONLINE COURSE WORKBOOK
Through self-reflection and writing, you’ll further accelerate your progress. A private online workbook, organized by session and exercise, makes it easy to find and review your work.
ONLINE PERSONAL JOURNAL
Deepen your self-understanding, document your insights, and customize the exercises with a private online journal that you can access at any time.
When self-compassion becomes a deep part of who we are, it becomes available to aid us in the heat of real-world situations and emotional struggles. This proven course will accelerate and deepen your learning every step of the way. I hope you will join me!
