Introduction to Somatic Thinking (STI)
An Introduction to Somatic Thinking™ is six recorded hours, studied at your own pace and divided into segments, each closing with a short quiz that reviews what you have studied. The course opens with coaching itself, taken to depth: what coaching is and what it is not, where it stands next to mentoring, consulting, teaching, therapy and motivational speaking, the International Coaching Federation's definition of the partnership, and what its research says about coaching's measured benefits, its core competencies and its future. It then moves into Somatic Thinking Coaching: the principles of the methodology, what it adds on top of the accredited coaching competencies, why it works, and the fields of knowledge it draws on, from linguistics and psychology to philosophy and somatics. You then watch a real session performed in front of you, so you see the methodology working rather than being described. The course closes with video testimonials from graduates of the Individual Coaching Foundation, the Somatic Thinking chapters from the book Coaching Presence as accompanying reading, and a final lesson that lays out the routes open to you next with direct links to each. The stated aim of the introduction is one thing: enough awareness to decide whether this path is yours or not. The price of this introduction is deliberately low, and nothing is required of you afterwards. We wanted it to be a door you could look through and decide whether this path is yours before you walk it. We would rather be chosen with awareness than out of convenience.
