The world is starving for leaders who are able to step into their true power to inspire and empower others to discover and live their highest potential.

Whether you’re a coach, a CEO, a parent… or whatever roles you have in your life… becoming a better leader will transform your abilities, your results and the influence you want to bring to the world.

You might be asking, how can I or anyone ensure I/they are going to be a positive role model and an effective leader?

In this article, you’ll discover some of the key techniques and models used by Masterful Coaches, to effectively close a coaching session: one of the most overlooked skills in the world of coaching.

One of the challenges is most coaches want to give, give, give. And while this is one of the most admirable qualities of coaches, it often leads to giving right until the last minute of the session. Always trying to do one more thing.

Yet leaving no time to properly close the session in a way that all...

What is the difference between a good coach and a masterful one?

Masterful coaches support clients to create deep transformational change by allowing them to embody their experience and listen at a much deeper level for the wisdom within. A level which goes beyond words and chatter that's in their head and listening to the whole self: the body, energy, emotions, metaphors and intuition that arises.

Reflection that was made even d...

So what is intuition? Some say it’s an ‘inner knowing’ or a strong sense of an idea. And we believe it can manifest itself in many different shapes and forms. For some it may come in as an image or sens...

As a coach, do you wonder how are you able to be with strong emotions that arise within your clients during coaching conversations?

At Empower World, we believe being able to support clients to process and understand their emotions can enable them to create powerful awareness about their current situation and what can be done differently to achieve the results they want.

Many of us assume we know what someone is ‘feeling” or experiencing because of the way a person looks or moves their body or...

One of the many artful skills of being a coach is supporting our client’s to shift their disempowering perspectives into more empowering ones!  There are always so many and varied ways of looking at things: different stories, beliefs and experiences we can choose to focus on and take on and embody into our system - our mind, body, heart and soul.
