LISTENING TO BODIES LONG-DISTANCE
A Teleclass Series
for Coaches and Managers
led by Suzanne
Zeman, Master Somatic Coach
In this 6 week teleclass
I will teach 5 basic distinctions that I use in my coaching, with practical
application to your own somatic presence and your current client or management
work. You'll learn how to apply what we're discussing to your work with
clients immediately. We'll spend one week on each distinction and one week
integrating all of them. I will provide examples of questions I ask clients
to help increase their somatic sensibility. In addition, I will review a
sampling of practices I give my clients to open places where they are
contracted or constricted, so they have more freedom and can make more
effective choices.
Come to the class with your questions - we will do some
coaching in real time. Where do you see you or your clients stuck? What
have you/they tried? Learn what else might help.
What can you expect from the teleclass?
·
Somatic distinctions you can use to
move yourself and your clients forward
·
Practices that will be useful for
embodying the various distinctions
·
More freedom and movement in your
coaching and with your clients
·
Mentor coaching: case studies in
real time
These are the somatic distinctions we will
work with:
Week 1:
·
Sensation
What is the
client experiencing about their body now? Where is energy flowing, where
are points of attention, where is the client noticing constriction or
contraction, where is the client not aware (for example, no awareness or
sensation in back)…What is their awareness of their vertical line?
Horizontal? Front to back? Practices to enhance awareness.
Week 2:
·
Breath
Listening for
shortness of breath or shallow breathing, constriction or contraction,
moving to fuller and deeper breathing from the belly, with relaxed
shoulders and upper chest. Practices to enhance full breathing.
Week 3:
·
Voice
Listening for characteristics of
strained, constricted, shallow, tight voice, moving to where the client can
relax, expand, and connect with others from a fuller, deeper voice.
Week 4:
·
Mood
Listening for a pervasive story
that has the client trapped in a mood that doesn't allow them to take the
actions to design the future they care about. Review of four basic moods
and how to shift.
Week 5:
·
Center
Listening for embodiment/action
based on what the client cares about. Practices to help discover cares,
passions, commitments that are not yet revealed.
Week 6:
·
Case Studies
Application of
learning to actual client work.
