Using art in coaching produces many benefits for our coaching practice. Including;
- Unlocking the core area being worked on very quickly by uncovering hidden material and working at a deeper level
- Supporting transformational change by helping a coachee get to a deeper level of self-awareness and understanding
- Helping coachees externalise those things they find hard to verbalise through image making and the language of creating
- Creating a safe space to hold complexity and paradox
- Breaking through thinking loops where coachees are stuck in the same thinking patterns
- Slowing down articulate coachees who can talk to deflect, defend and gloss over
- Giving our right brain a voice – the home of the Ah Ha! moment
- Introducing fun and play which can lead to creative thinking and deeper self-awareness and understanding
- Allowing us to spend time with our coachees in areas of importance
