 Course Introduction

As humans, we live metaphoric lives. As a profound addition to any coach’s toolkit, the course: Dreamwork & Advanced Metaphors is one that will equip you to assist others to explore and expand their capacity to imagine their life metaphors. You will also develop a keen ear for the ongoing stories, internal messages and belief structures that people use to limit their lives and find ways to move past those limits. Metaphorically, this course will empower both yourself and your clients to build a strong boat for riding forward on the stream of consciousness.

 This course is for:

  • Coaches want to strengthen their coaching skills.
  • Individuals who want to gain a deeper insight into their own life metaphors and how to reconstruct them to achieve greater success (coaching skills required).
  • Leaders, with coaching skills and training, who wish to strengthen their capacity to use metaphors and stories to lead their teams.

 

 You will walk away with the ability to:

  • Specific procedures to quickly understand the unconscious message system and meaning of any particular dream you may want to explore.
  • An ability to build your skill to actively create metaphors.
  • Techniques for changing inner vision and emotional thought as “forms of conscious-ness”.
  • The skill to apply these techniques to enhance creativity in daily life for yourself and those you coach or lead.
