Solution Focus is not just about asking the right questions—it is the art of embodied creativity, presence, and the ability to navigate unpredictable conversations. But how can we help learners translate their knowledge into effective practice?

This workshop introduces a visceral approach to SF coaching mastery, integrating somatic experience rooted in Japanese martial arts principles, skill acquisition theory, and the innovative training tool Coaching Dice.

Through hands-on exploration and real-time interaction, participants will experience how to cultivate their ability to sense, adapt, and respond fluidly within coaching conversations—enhancing their coaching intelligence beyond words.
