Inner Game is an early coaching approach to mobilise potential of clients towards a goal. Originally it occurred in sport coaching with impressive success: learners of several disciplines progressed with intriguing speed. Elaborating critical variables for a certain activity and observing it while acting seemed to support learners more than giving instructions and following up on them.
The inventor Tim Gallwey himself contributed some remarkable organisational change projects with inner game principles and described the advantages of this approach in work-related context.
Back in time for ten years the first trials of integrating inner game and solution focus by some swiss coaches seemed logical, since solution focused coaching also addresses the awareness of clients and invites them to choose consciously, which aspects of the observable reality they would like to follow up on. Also trust on the potential of clients is a strong link between the approaches.
In latest time we are experimenting with clients (and ourselves), in team coachings and in trainings with the impact of connecting inner game and solution focus.
In the workshop you can count on the fun and insights of exercises/physical activities for experimenting with focus of attention. We’ll carefully connect this experience to your working field with clients. We’ll happily share our stories and examples on using inner game in a solution focused process.
