Workshop: Coaching for Post-traumatic Growth

This workshop introduces participants to the second wave positive psychology construct of Post-traumatic Growth (PTG).

Workshop overview

Introduction to Post-Traumatic Growth Coaching

In this workshop, we will examine theories, models, tools and techniques that coaches can use to facilitate their clients to achieve growth following trauma.

This workshop will also provide participants with the opportunity to be reflective and reflexive. Virtual activities will challenge and inspire participants to review how trauma may affect a client’s coachability, the competencies they need as coaches, and when coaching is appropriate so that they can work collaboratively with their clients.

In a post-pandemic world, this course is especially applicable for positive psychology coaches, life coaches, business coaches as well as coaches who subscribe to a particular field of coaching e.g. CBT coaches, ACT coaches, and practitioners.
