I’m OK – You’re OK: The Hidden Dynamics of Coaching Conversations

This workshop connects Transactional Analysis concepts with core ICF coaching competencies, offering coaches a practical framework to deepen awareness and strengthen coaching presence. You will explore how ego states influence communication patterns, decision-making, and relational dynamics within sessions.

The session focuses on developing Adult-to-Adult coaching relationships that foster client resourcefulness, responsibility, and self-awareness. Through a guided self-contracting exercise and peer reflection, participants will practice applying TA principles to their own development as coaches.

Coaches will gain simple, actionable tools to recognize ego state shifts, support client autonomy, and navigate moments where they may feel pulled into advising, rescuing, or adapting.
