About the Event
Course OverviewÂ
Compassion is a human characteristic that focusses on care and kindness. Self-compassion is where you learn to take care of yourself, know when you are under stress and understand the most effective way to deal with this. According to O'Neill (2007), effective coaches must demonstrate ‘fearless compassion’, and one way of doing this is to start with the self. In a kind way. This self-directed online course will enable you to explore the concept of compassion and apply this to a coaching context in order to develop and improve your own wellbeing and that of your coachee.
