Schemas in Coaching: Name the Pattern, Expand the Impact

Every coach knows the moment. A capable, motivated client sets a clear goal, builds a sound plan, and returns three weeks later having done none of it. More goal-setting will not move them, because the block is not a skills gap. It is a schema: a deep pattern about self, others, and what is possible, formed long before the coaching engagement and running quietly beneath every session. This interactive workshop brings schema psychology into the coaching room ethically and firmly within the coaching role. Drawing on Jeffrey Young's schema framework and on Daniela Aneva's book Schemas in Leadership, participants learn to recognize the schemas that most often cap leadership performance, including Unrelenting Standards, Subjugation, Approval-Seeking, and Emotional Inhibition, hear how each announces itself in a client's own language, and practice a four-move coaching arc, Name, Honor, Choose, Rehearse, that converts a limiting pattern into expanded capacity. Positivity here is not a reframe laid over difficulty. It is what becomes available when a pattern is finally named and honored rather than fought. Participants also turn the lens on themselves, examining the coach schemas that pull us into rescuing, over-preparing, or avoiding the hard question, and leave with a clear, defensible line between schema-informed coaching and therapy. The session is built for practice rather than lecture: a guided self-scan, paired live coaching on a real pattern, and a structured debrief. Three key takeaways: A working map of the leadership schemas most likely to surface in executive and team coaching, with the language cues that reveal them. The Name, Honor, Choose, Rehearse sequence, complete with question stems ready to use in the next client session. A personal schema-activation profile and an ethical boundary framework participants can articulate to clients and sponsors. Participants receive a digital workbook containing the schema map, question stems, and a post-session practice protocol.

Think Different, Coach Better: Expand Your Coaching Impact

George Thorman.jpeg

Coaches are trained to ask powerful questions, but before a question lands, a coach must first notice, sense, and respond to how each client's mind actually works. An estimated 20–30% of the population is neurodivergent, yet most coach training assumes one “normal” way of thinking, communicating, regulating emotion, and getting things done. Left unexamined, that assumption leads well-intentioned coaches to mistake executive-functioning struggles for resistance, misread energy shifts as disengagement, and push for accountability before understanding a client's real capacity, eroding trust and stalling growth. In this interactive 90-minute session, Think Different, Coach Better introduces a practical Notice – Discern – Respond framework built around six reflective questions that expand coaching awareness and strengthen four ICF Core Competencies: Cultivates Trust and Safety, Maintains Presence, Evokes Awareness, and Facilitates Client Growth. Through facilitator-guided reflection, live polling, real-world coaching examples, and small-group breakout conversations, participants examine their own coaching assumptions and leave with concrete practices to use in their very next session. Three key takeaways: 1. A six-question framework for recognizing when executive functioning, energy, or capacity, not motivation, is shaping a client's behavior. 2. Practical language shifts that replace ableist assumptions with curiosity, deepening trust and safety with every client. 3. A capacity-aware approach to accountability and action planning that builds sustainable momentum instead of shame, and 4) A complimentary Client Intake Questionnaire and Coach's Guide to better know your clients from the moment you begin your work together. This session embraces positivity by reframing difference as strength, and expands impact by equipping coaches to serve the full range of minds they encounter in practice.

Stay, Use, Refer: A Therapist's Lens for Coaches

Coaches are trained to move clients forward. Therapists are trained to notice what is happening in the room, including what is happening inside themselves. The most effective coaching draws on both. Momentum matters, but it is often the relationship, and the space held within it, that creates change that lasts. This workshop, led by a licensed therapist and ICF PCC who has worked across both professions for ten years, opens up how therapists are trained to think and translates that training into skills coaches can use right away. Many coaches reach a familiar edge: a client's energy shifts, emotion fills the room, or a pattern keeps returning, and the coach is unsure whether to stay with it, move toward action, or refer out. Without a clear lens, coaches either rush past meaningful material or drift beyond their scope. This session offers that lens through three moments every coach meets. Stay: remaining present with strong emotion and uncertainty without needing to resolve it, and noticing your own reactions, history, and patterns as they surface in session. Use: therapist-trained skills that belong in coaching, including tracking process as well as content, naming patterns in the moment, and pacing the work to what the client can hold. Refer: recognizing the signals that a concern is clinical, and making a referral that protects both the client and the coaching relationship.

Simplify for Impact™: Focus on What Matters Most

Coaches and consultants are trained to add value — another certification, a new modality, one more offer, one more platform. But the coaches with the deepest impact aren't the ones doing the most; they're the ones who've gotten ruthlessly clear on what actually matters to them and their clients. In this session, participants work through deceptively simple questions — Who am I really here to serve? What problem am I best positioned to solve? What matters most right now? What can I stop, simplify, or let go of? What's my next meaningful step? — to cut through the noise of "more" and reconnect with the work that creates real impact. This isn't a business-building tactics talk. It's a clarity framework coaches can apply to their own practice today — and the same lens they can bring into their client engagements with their clients tomorrow.

Who Is In the Room: Seeing Beyond the Surface

When a client shows up for coaching, they bring more to the session than what is visible to the eye. They are bringing a history, stories, triggers, and patterns that can easily be misunderstood as resistance, indecision, or avoidance. "Who Is In the Room: Seeing Beyond the Surface" helps coaches to expand their understanding of how trauma may impact a client's presence in a coaching session, without pathologizing or rushing to fix it. Learning to hold space for a client's emotions, using compassionate inquiry, and practicing safe presence are essential tools to coach the whole client, not just what is immediately present. Coaches will receive a trauma-informed framework for recognizing when a client’s immediate need is only part of the picture and when listening, without problem-solving, might be the most powerful practice. This session is designed to help coaches sit with the potential discomfort of uncertainty and embrace the gift of being an empathetic witness.
