TA in Coaching: 2-day retreat

Learning how to bring to life the powerful and simple tools of Transactional Analysis (TA) in coaching at the retreat will:

• Add depth, dimension and value to your client work - giving you a framework to notice and reflect powerful insights, in the moment, with your client, and for yourself.
• Increase your confidence in discussing childhood and parenthood with your client - we can sometimes prioritize safety over positive intention when not confident navigating conversations about childhood and parenthood, with limited confidence.
• Discover how to use TA to navigate conversations around child and parenthood, in personal as well as corporate work.
• Remind you of simple techniques for personal and professional reflection as a human, as a coach, and all your other roles.
• Leave you feeling rested, nourished, reflective, and energized to return to your world.
