Illustrated Coaching is a unique combination of transformational business coaching and visual storytelling.
With Illustrated Coaching the key themes arising from the coaching conversation - the metaphors and symbols, the dream images and ideas - are captured pictorially.
These images bypass rational thinking, making the unseen seen, creating fresh insight into behaviour patterns and beliefs.
They encourage richer self-reflection, enhance clarity of purpose and reveal hidden potential.
How sessions work
-
Like all good coaching relationships the process starts by exploring themes of particular interest and importance to my client.
-
These themes are expressed as images - as stories, symbols and metaphors - which I capture in sketch form.
-
The images in turn trigger fresh reflections, insights and intuitive leaps.
-
Over time, the sketches are refined into vivid representations of the client's thought process.
-
In this example (right) my client explored his sense of career drift, of feeling overwhelmed by the options and decisions facing him.
-
He described images of branching paths, of his uncertainty over which path to choose, and of his desire for a "dashboard compass to show me where I need to go."
