AC Webinar Series: Coaching Through Bereavement in a Pandemic

Do you feel equipped to handle bereavement, grief or loss in your coaching conversations? If you're a coach or supervisor, join us for this three-part webinar series on “Coaching Through Bereavement in a Pandemic” starting on 4 March.

Maggie João and Julia Menaul will explore this important and sensitive topic and share some useful tools you can use with clients. They highlight how very little research and literature has been given over to bereavement within the coaching sphere. Bereavement is a huge topic and often a taboo subject in society, so how do coaches and supervisors handle grief and loss explicitly and implicitly within their work during a time of major loss caused by a pandemic.

They will focus on how bereavement shows up in coaching, what to do about it, and what useful tools you can use with clients. They will also consider the wider implications for coaches and supervisors of the different cultural attitudes to loss in general, and death and dying in particular, across the globe in the light of the pandemic.

Bereavement is universal however this webinar is tailored to helping all coaches and supervisors handle grief and loss within coaching.

• When and when not to work with bereavement issues in coaching
• How to identify your own triggers around bereavement and the implications for coaching
• Awareness of the role of cultural assumptions in conversations around grief, loss, and bereavement
