Overview

Are you a coach or trainer looking to work more with the body?

Do you want to work safely and help your clients make deeper change?

Do you know that the body matters for facilitation, but are not sure practically how to develop this aspect of your work?

This book will provide you with the theory and real-world tools for excellence in embodied facilitation. It contains over 50 simple exercises for both you and your clients and offers a clear pragmatic framework for deepening your experience and developing your skills. 

Core techniques

Through core techniques such as awareness-raising exercises, centring and embodied listening, you will learn how to help clients with a range of common coaching topics such as:

Leadership

Confidence

Finding purpose

Stress management

Communication skills

Mark’s straight-talking approach offers a framework for understanding the field, in addition to techniques you can use with clients immediately. From processing trauma to centring yourself in times of stress, it is a no-nonsense resource for any coach, facilitator or teacher wanting to work more through the body.

The body is a huge part of who we are, yet it is often ignored. This book will show you how to include it safely, skilfully and powerfully.
