Grief & Loss Essentials: becoming a better coach through transition

As coaches, we often encounter clients undergoing significant life transitions. These moments can be fraught with grief—a natural response to loss that, if not properly integrated, can lead to increased anxiety, depression, and even burnout. Recognizing and addressing this in our coaching practices is crucial.

We're excited to invite you to a transformative workshop led by Dina Bell-Laroche, a certified ICF Professional Coach and experienced Grief Companion. This session is based around her amazing book “Grief Unleashed: moving from the hole in our hearts to whole-hearted” and is specifically designed for coaches, like you, aiming to deepen your understanding and skills in navigating grief and mourning with your clients.

Date: Sunday, June 2, 2024

Time: 9am to 5pm - includes lunch

Location: Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Drive, Ottawa
