The power Coaching supervision -2mn or less 2:38

2 years ago2:38

2:38

Hello, I'm Laurent, and today I'd like to discuss the importance of coaching supervision in just two minutes. Coaching supervision, as I've experienced it both as a supervisor and a supervisee, is a collaborative environment established between supervisors and supervisees. This nurturing space allows for personal regeneration, encouraging us to rediscover ourselves, deeply reflect on our understanding, and tap into the spiritual aspects of our identity. It's a space devoid of goals or achievements, focused solely on contemplation of our experiences as a coach and our growth within this role. Coaching supervision helps us heighten our awareness, not necessarily in a deliberate way, but rather by freeing our intentionality and expanding our capacity to connect with the individuals we coach. This connection is not limited to coaching sessions but also extends to the energetic relationship we share with our clients as we invite them into the coaching conversation. By engaging with the systemic dimension of the conversation, we can remain present and attentive to each detail. Coaching supervision has been an immensely enriching experience for me, as I've gained valuable insights and wisdom from the expertise and life experiences of my own supervisors. I hope you too can benefit from coaching supervision. If this topic intrigues you, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Regenerate response…

Introducing to short insights for vertical growth 3:45

2 years ago3:45

3:45

Hi, I want to introduce you to a collection of past videos, audio recordings, and podcasts where I share the insights and perspectives I've gathered over the years about the world. I aim to demystify and provide alternative viewpoints on various topics that can be applied to your daily life. As an experienced coach, I firmly believe in the power of personal and collective development to impact society positively. I think the more we understand and pay attention to our feelings, perceptions, and surroundings, the better we can connect with others and the world around us, ultimately leading to a more intentional and fulfilling life experience. In these recordings, I offer a personal touch and strive for simplicity to help you easily incorporate these insights into your life. I believe that when we approach life from a place of comfort and mental well-being, we can truly enjoy our experiences and contribute positively to the world around us. I hope you find these recordings useful, and I'm eager to engage in conversations with you through comments, feedback, or sharing your own insights. While I cannot guarantee that you will find these discussions enjoyable or pertinent to your life, it is my sincere hope that they resonate with you in some way. Thank you for listening, and I look forward to sharing this journey with you.…

Emotional Triggers and their message 2:45

2 years ago2:45

2:45

Today, I'd like to discuss triggers in under two minutes. Triggers are external stimuli that interact with our beliefs and ideas about ourselves, sending us into an emotional overdrive or an amplified version of ourselves. This often leads to accelerated heartbeats, a chain of thoughts, and behaviours seemingly provoked by a single event. Triggers often cause us to lose the capacity to connect and control ourselves. It's important to note that triggers are not instantaneous; they often build up over time. The moments leading up to the triggering event can be separated by hours or even days. During this period, our beliefs and ideas are subtly challenged, gradually intensifying until a tipping point is reached, causing an emotional outburst, which we label as a trigger. In coaching sessions with clients, individually and in teams, we learn to recognize these signs and trace them back to the origin of the trigger. This helps us understand when we allow ourselves to become vulnerable and how we can regain control. Thank you for listening.…
