Who Is The Training For?

The focus of the training is on you experiencing the three-stage process of creating a collage as a visual narrative using the UnglueYou® Imagery Method™. The purpose is for you to have a thorough appreciation of what your clients would experience and therefore be able to decide if this is a coaching resource 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 the rationale for using collage as a creative coaching tool. You will also have a dedicated period of 1-1 time with a facilitator to explore an image in more depth. Plus a taster of co-coaching with other attendees which enhances your learning opportunities and offers you an insight into the content of the Skills Based Training.
The three stages in the UnglueYou® Imagery Method™ are:
- Gathering – images from a resource of various magazines
- Creating – the visual narrative (Collage)
- Storytelling – sharing meaning and the coaching conversation
As you are guided step by step through the process, the images facilitate self-directed learning. Allowing you to understand how collage can be used with coaching clients to unlock unconscious thinking, raise self-awareness, gain clarity and enable confident decision making.
Following the workshop, you will be issued with a CCE ICF accredited certificate for partial completion of Collage | A Creative Coaching Tool training, worth 4 hours of core competencies and resource development. Full accreditation is achieved if you also attend the Skills Based Training.
