Amsterdam: Working with the body for trainers and coaches

January 14th, 2018

This is an experiential training for those wishing to develop practical skills working with the body in training and coaching. Using posture, breathing and movement helps clients go deep quickly and creates lasting results. This training will give you both a greater personal insight and a clearer overview of the field as well as tools you can use the next day. Our embodiment determines how we think, how we feel, how we are perceived by others and what we achieve, so is an extremely helpful area for facilitators to address. Coaches know the body matters and this is a training to clarify how, and give you many useful tools. It is for both business facilitators wanting pragmatic techniques, and for those already skilled in working with the body to transfer their skills to organisational work.

Who this training is for:

Business and life coaches, trainers, facilitators and consultants
Yoga, dance, complementary health practitioners and martial artists looking to apply their skills to business
Teachers, therapists and those in other helping or educating professions
Anyone looking to develop their individual leadership or grow as a person

Come if you’d like to gain:

A deeper and much clearer understanding of the relevance of body awareness, posture and movement to your work
Practical embodied tools you can use with clients immediately
Tips on how to make this work accessible within a business environment
Knowledge of how to work with the body confidently and safely

Testimonials

“Not the type of course that comes in a folder to collect dust on your desk. I found the content real, accessible, and I was able to put it to practical use immediately.”

– Kathryn Knock, Coach, Norfolk, UK

“These workshops connect your body to your mind and help to complete a soul circuit. Plug yourself in and enjoy more powerful coaching and facilitation.”

– Antony Parry, coach and CTI coach trainer, Chichester UK

“It is nothing else but amazing how much I learned about embodiment in only a day and a half with Mark and Carol in Berlin. Our bodies talk to us. All of the time. They hold the treasures of untold stories for our success and fulfilment. They demonstrate where our minds make up stories of failure and limitations. They, as an integral part of us, are the foundation for connection. Our bodies talk to us. We’d better start and listen to them.”

– Geert Hofman, coach, musician and author, Germany

“My participation enhanced my ability to talk about embodiment work, helped me gain confidence bringing this work to new audiences, and provided a very rich peer group experience that result in professional friendships”

– Charlie Birch – professional dancer, Boulder, USA

“I now do in one session what I used to do in six”

– Coach and coach trainer, Tel Aviv, Israel

“If you’re looking for training that will challenge and provoke you to learn about yourself in profound and surprising ways, then I highly recommend Mark as a trainer. He is funny, provocative, committed and cheeky. Above all, though, he really knows his stuff, and he lives and walks his talk.”

– Aboodi Shabi, Executive Coach and Facilitator, Newfield coach trainer, London UK
