How’s the Training Delivered?
The training is focused on you experiencing the three-stage process of creating a collage as a visual narrative using the Collage Coaching Technique™. The purpose is for you to fully appreciate what your clients would experience and decide if this is a coaching approach you want to add to your toolkit. As such, the majority of the time is dedicated to this activity.
To set context, the training starts with a brief introduction to why you would choose to use collage as a creative coaching tool. During the process, you’ll also benefit from a short period of 1-1 time with me to explore an image in more depth. The training includes peer-to-peer learning through co-coaching with other participants. This activity increases opportunities to gain insight and improve self-awareness around the theme of ‘What I want from my coaching career.’
The three stages in the Collage Coaching Technique™ are:
- Gathering – images from a resource of various magazines
- Creating – the coaching collage (visual narrative)
- Storytelling – sharing meaning and the coaching conversation
As you’re guided step by step through the creative process, each stage facilitates self-directed learning. Experiencing this for yourself enables you to understand how collage can be used with coaching clients.
Following the workshop, you’ll be issued with a CCE ICF accredited certificate for partial completion of Collage as a Creative Coaching Tool training, worth 3 hours of core competencies and resource development. Full accreditation is achieved if you also attend the Skills Based Training.
