Hotpot 17: Self-Compassion for Leaders :The Coaching Approach

In the world of Executive Coaching we meet leaders who are ambitious, driven and motivated to make a difference. These same leaders often experience self-doubt, fear and self-criticism as they seek to make significant business decisions. It is our role as coaches to challenge, to support and to inspire them to overcome these obstacles and deliver on the goals they have set. One necessary but often mis-understood skill when facing these challenges is the practice of Self-Compassion. In Paula's Executive Coaching Practice she has found the use of self-compassion to be a game-changer for many leaders, and in this on-line session she will :

• Explain what Self-Compassion truly is (based on extensive research by Kirsten Neff)
• Show how the practice of self-compassion improves resilience, emotional intelligence and compassion for others
• Demonstrate how as coaches we can use the practice of self-compassion to support our clients and help them achieve what they want
• Experience the practice of self-compassion for yourself as a coach
