Thinking Environment Coaching has been described by coaching experts as one of the most effective client-centered coaching methods on the market. Like many coaching methods, the purpose is for the client to think.

Unlike many coaching methods, the purpose of the Thinking Environment process is for clients to think – for themselves. For themselves changes everything. For themselves requires new expertise.

Given that the quality of everything our clients do depends on the quality of the thinking they do first, generating a client’s finest independent thinking is the singular purpose of this coaching approach.

In this introductory session, Hazel demonstrates a profoundly different way to be in partnership that achieves this quality of thinking clients need from us, to be at their best; to thrive. It adds value to your existing toolkit of expertise. With practice and discipline, it transforms the quality of all your coaching conversations, client relationships and results.

You will discover:

  • What a Thinking Environment is, why it matters, and how to create it.
  • 4 game-changing behaviors that create the conditions for your clients to thrive.
  • 1 simple, yet loaded, promise and a few liberating questions.

This is a radically different and relational way of being with clients that allows them to go beyond dependence on the coach’s views, guidance, and analysis. It is paradoxically simple and complex, easeful, and dynamic.

About Hazel Morley, Time to Think Consultant (Coach, Facilitator & Teacher)
For more than 30 years I’ve been in the people business as a Trainer, Facilitator and Coach.
In 2003 I discovered Nancy Kline’s work “Time to Think” and enrolled in a ‘Thinking Partnership’ program that led to qualifying as a Consultant, Facilitator and Coach. What a gift it was, to learn how to listen to ignite the human mind and unleash its potential.

Since then, most of my bold and life-changing decisions have emerged from my being in a Thinking Environment®. One of the most significant was emigrating from England to beautiful British Columbia in 2009.

As one of 20 Time to Think global Faculty, I feel privileged to teach others how to produce independent thinking in their organizations, teams, and lives. I’d love to share it with you.

Nov 7 @ 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Hosted by ICF Arizona
Co-Facilitated by Elle Cronin & Lori Raggio

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD;
One of today’s most insightful and influential thinkers offers a powerful exploration of inequality and the lesson that generations of Americans have failed to learn: Racism has a cost for everyone—not just for people of color.

WINNER OF THE PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, The Washington Post, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Ms. magazine, BookRiot, Library Journal

This is the book I’ve been waiting for.”
Ibram X. Kendi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist 

Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. From the financial crisis of 2008 to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure, she found a root problem: racism in our politics and policy making. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. Racism has costs for white people, too. It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all. But how did this happen? And is there a way out?

McGhee embarks on a deeply personal journey across the country from Maine to Mississippi to California, tallying what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm—the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others. Along the way, she meets white people who confide in her about losing their homes, their dreams, and their shot at better jobs to the toxic mix of American racism and greed. This is the story of how public goods in this country—from parks and pools to functioning schools—have become private luxuries; of how unions collapsed, wages stagnated, and inequality increased; and of how this country, unique among the world’s advanced economies, has thwarted universal healthcare.

But in unlikely places of worship and work, McGhee finds proof of what she calls the Solidarity Dividend: the benefits we gain when people come together across race to accomplish what we simply can’t do on our own. The Sum of Us is not only a brilliant analysis of how we arrived here but also a heartfelt message, delivered with startling empathy, from a black woman to a multiracial America. It leaves us with a new vision for a future in which we finally realize that life can be more than a zero-sum game.

The pandemic and the emerging awareness of broken educational systems has left educators exhausted and ready to quit. Many educators have moved on. Dr. Norwood discusses their latest research on how heart coherent coaches could offer hope to educators in need of a regenerative, resilient, and nourishing ecosystem. This information is applicable to any profession or client base.

Coherence is an efficient state of being, generating alignment between our mind, body, emotions, and spirit through the power of the heart. This electromagnetic field, generated by the heart, is detectable by other individuals and can produce measurable effects on others. Practicing heart coherence techniques yields significant and sustainable improvements in health and wellness. These improvements include significant reductions in stress, depression, anxiety, anger, fatigue, and burnout to name a few. There is an increase in caring, contentment, gratitude, peacefulness, resilience, vitality, and emotional buoyancy.

Join Dr. Norwood to learn about the power of heart coherent coaching and how it may represent another evolutionary step in the application of evidence-based approaches to coaching.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discover how depleting and renewing emotions are shown to have different physiological effects which directly affect brain function and impact on our decision-making, communication, and stress levels.
  • Understand how the biological communication between the heart, the brain, and the rest of the body energetically feeds the field.
  • Appreciate the power of the heart as you learn to access heart intelligence within yourself and your client.
  • Practice two heart coherent intelligence techniques (Quick Coherence and Freeze Frame) to help you recharge your emotional system and access your inner wisdom.
  • Discover statistically significant outcomes with Drs. Norwood and Burke’s research on educators’ health and well-being.

Key Points

  1. Personal heart coherence is not only attainable as a coach, but we have the capacity to create a new baseline within our brain to operate more consistently in this state of Beingness.
  2. Heart coherence techniques yield significant and sustainable improvements in health and wellness.
  3. The coherent coach embodies the coaching heart/mindset and can impact the field and those they coach in transformational ways.
  4. Coherent coaches can activate the heart of teams.
  5. Personal heart coherence is foundational in achieving higher levels of mindfulness, presence, authenticity, and the building of rapport.
