Narrative Coaching: The Power of Our Stories

1 Core, .5 RD

Why “narrative” coaching? Because we are all storytellers. We make sense of and explain our lives by conveying stories about them. We feel unstable in our new chapters when we change behavior without uncovering and altering the story that upholds our original actions. If we don’t evolve our stories alongside our behaviors, we will feel like impostors merely acting out a part. Narrative coaching allows people to move from actors to the heroes of their own epic tales.
