MasterClass by Master Coaches with Patricia A Risch, M.Ed., MCC

In this live coaching demonstration, Patricia brings the ICF Core Competencies to life through the subtle yet powerful dynamics of silence and energy. The session explores how spaciousness in coaching—through intentional pauses and energetic attunement—can open deeper levels of awareness and insight for the client. Rather than rushing to solve or speak, Patricia demonstrates how silence and playback can effectively and respectfully move the energy, allowing the client to process and delve deeper. She highlights the importance of sensing and listening for the client’s values, emotions, and beliefs.

Patricia believes energy is the new edge and witnesses its power in coaching. This is supported by her advanced energy training with Tony Latimer, bringing energy into coaching to reach the highest levels of mastery. Patricia embodies the principle of connecting energetically with the client—trusting the process, the client, and the moment—while maintaining a calm, grounded presence.
