Presence

Why present & speak?

We grow up with being told and taught that we need to know how to present. We learn that presentations matter. And we start by learning how to present ‘who simply we are’. Later, we learn that it is a tool to portray our brand image, inform, educate, and motivate whoever we may speak to. We understand that it offers flexibility in delivering information. But who will tell us that presenting can be an effective way to be simply present to ‘why others care to listen to us?’ My inspiration to present is ‘caring to listen’. When people care to listen to whatever we have got to present, they bring along some need. My inspiration is to meet that need: through listening when presenting & speaking – to be equipped to deliver value as needed.

HR Trade Fair ‚Personalmesse MOC’

München: Halle 1, Stand B06, 25 – 26 October 2023

I will be exhibiting at the Personalmesse München trade fair with the aim to make a clear contribution to our coaching profession through the projects that have been awarded the ICF Impact Award 2023 at ICF Converge23 in Orlando, Florida, USA. My aim is to introduce visitors to the social impact that professional coaching as a human and professional development instrument can generate in business and organizational management.

I will be there alongside my partners Claire Venetsanakou from Greece and Carin Bladh from Sweden. Jointly, we will engage in inspiring our visitors to take note of the rich and varied ways in which professional coaching can make a difference through empowering not just leaders, employees, external and internal coaches but also whole collaborative efforts across the globe.

You will benefit from visiting us as we will listen to your organizational learning and leadership development agendas. We may also showcase to you how at least three approaches to professional coaching can successfully support your current programs. You will also benefit from learning about the various ways in which virtual, co-located or hybrid learning can be implemented through effective professional coaching in business and organizational management.

Learn more about our exhibition here: http://personalmesse2023.tuendeerdoes.com/

I’ll be speaking on: ‘Online presence skills and in-person presence skills: what do we start noticing?’

Digital coaching platforms mushroom. As they do, or as we simply choose to work more online than in person with clients, we embrace the opportunity to get easy access to clients from all over the world. As we welcome this opportunity, do we also embrace potential differences when it comes to our coaching presence? Do we notice the implications of moving from offline to online coaching when it comes to this particular skills, one which has been understood to be our most important lever of mastery?

MasterClass on Presence for Leadership and HR at Hoobla HR Services Iceland

15 February 2023 – What’s happening in our world?

83% of leaders drown in over-commitments, the issue being that

  • Priority issues erode attention,
  • Double risk of shallow work vs. deep work
  • Double risk of low contribution vs high contribution
    (Hack Future Lab, 2021)

Why is presence the right approach to solve these issues?

It’s because meaningful decisions are born in the space of presence. And leadership is a lot about making meaningful decisions and taking choices that help rather than harm. Those decisions and choices help leaders ask powerful questions, the way they do in coaching.

My latest research shows that presence is about mastering somatic responsiveness in our interactions. In our MasterClass, we’ll explore, reflect and jointly make meaning of the somatic nature of presence as a growth and performance intervention. We’ll create space for

  • a) leaving our own default state of presence that feels most comfortable,
  • b) reflecting the consequences of our presence-less-ness in our comfort zone.

You will take away deeper understanding around

  1. why presence is relevant in your leadership
  2. what you can learn from coaching presence for better relationships, better results, and better interactions.

Keynote: ICF Portugal - International Coaching Week

17th May 2022 – Keynote: ICF Portugal – International Coaching Week 2022

With its Ignite Program, ICF Global has recently started anchoring coaching as ‘social impact instrument’ for growth and change – way beyond classic one-on-one interventions, team or group coaching, or agile organizational development.

That’s a powerful purpose, isn’t it? It is also a highly commendable future perspective towards reimagining coaching. Yet, to understand and be prepared for what it takes to work with coaching as a social-impact instrument we need to take a sincere and unabashed look at how our profession is pivoting today. We may start by asking, “In a first place, why is there a call for ‘reimagining the future’ at all? What is it in us that invites and even drives us to reimagine the future?”

MasterClass for Russia Coaching Community, formerly ICF Chapter Russia, after being excluded from ICF Global as a reaction to the war in the Ukraine – 19 October 2022

Online Workshop, 19th October 2022 – Mirror, mirror on the wall – Who is the most present of them all?
Presence empowers & disrupts. It is a chamber of resonance?

Latest research shows that coaching presence is not about the coach – alone. As presence is not a tool. Not even at tool of self … as it is not about your intention how to show up. While presence includes your capacity to listen actively and other all-time highs such as ‘attunement’, ‘cocooning’, and ‘being fully there’ for our client, at its core it is more than deepening and expanding your ‘self’. It is an entire network and cross-roads of stimuli and needs that navigate us and that we’d better navigate if we were to pretend that we are present.

While we espouse to have presence as a powerful way to focus on what is relevant, most of the time we have too much or not enough of it. Other times, we believe that presence is an end per se rather than a means to an end. The result is that we remain presence-less in our efforts to ‘be’ more and ‘do’ less.

When we are really present, we have a compass that urges us to

– challenge our internal as well as external authority
– challenge paradigms and theories and models and processes in place
– challenges us to reconnect with our own senses to sync in with reality rather than take things for face value
– challenges our worldview and that means ‘trouble is brewing’ as we must leave big comfort zones and open up to a lot of things and experiences in and around us that are unknown.

COACHING & FREEDOM - A practical and philosophical journey. Global Coaches’ & Leaders’ Voices

2nd of October 2021

What does freedom mean for Greek people 200 years after the Greek Revolution of 1821 against ottoman occupation? What might it mean for coaches beyond Greece?

“Freedom” is a word that evokes countless emotions and thoughts. It is a notion that has enormous weight on humans and entails complex human dynamics. Today, after enduring a 1.5-year restriction on our freedom due to the current pandemic, we can sense the threat to our life, our culture, and the entire planet – a threat that seems to emerge from extreme phenomena both natural and man-made.
Which new dimensions might the notion “freedom” entail for each one of us?

In the steps of the 3rd consecutive annual hybrid conference COACH NOW, we will explore “freedom” both as a destination and as a condition for a happy life, individually and collectively.
We will have professional coaches and executives share their VOICE based on insights they have gained through recent coaching research, coaching practice, and coaching philosophy to explore tools that we may use on this exploration of ‘freedom’.

We also address presence in the there and now’ of the relationship between Mary Anna and Tünde networking ideas around the rave culture and non-verbal synchrony as some potential markers of presence. We close the conversation by ‚giving away‘ a key message: “Do as fish do!“ when it comes to your presence in the coach-client relationship.
