Coaching and Mentoring CPD – Who We Are = How We Coach; Using Jung’s Archetypes to Enhance Self-Reflection

Target Audience:

Coach/Mentor practitioner, Senior Practitioner, Master Practitioner

What is this event about?

To enhance self-reflection of coaching or mentoring practice by using the lens of Jung’s archetypes. As coaches we are on a continuous path of personal self-discovery, in service of our clients.

Archetypes (explored in detail by the work of Carl Jung) are symbols, patterns, blueprints that occur all over the world in myths, stories and films; we recognise them instantly, yet we usually do this at the unconscious level.  They are patterns that we all have access to in our psyche: inner resources, helpers that we can draw upon.  Examples include the Hero fighting fiercely for a cause, the Outlaw breaking society’s rules and the Ruler reigning (justly or despotically) over their kingdom.

We are mostly unconscious of the fact that we have archetypes in our lives, but once we gain conscious awareness of them then we gain more freedom and flexibility to tap into other archetypal energies and make choices. By bringing 12 common archetypes to conscious awareness we can then consider how and where we express or meet them in our coaching practice.

What will it cover?

Key Areas

• Discover 12 of the most common archetypes;
• Consider how any or all of them show up in our personal coaching and mentoring practice;
• Use co-coaching discussions to identify what choices we may want to make as a result of our reflections;
• Consider next steps in our practice.

Why should I attend?

Outcome

Who we are (our identity, values etc) informs how we coach and mentor; the greater our understanding of ourselves, the more we can use that conscious awareness to enhance, question and challenge our work as coaches.
