For US psychologists, "Advanced Awareness: Strengthening Presence & Perspective in Practice" offers a vital professional development opportunity. This session expands self-awareness to noticing more about yourself, those you support, and the conversational context, using coaching psychology insights. You'll gain strategies to overcome habitual thinking, enhance cognitive flexibility, and effectively utilize the AWARE Model for more responsive and impactful therapeutic work throughout the United States.
Advanced awareness is the ability to notice more: within yourself, within the person you're supporting, and within the wider context of the conversation. It goes beyond self-awareness, drawing on principles from coaching psychology to help you work with greater flexibility, curiosity, and responsiveness in the moment.
In this session, you'll explore how developing advanced awareness can help you move beyond habitual ways of thinking, recognize patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed, and create new possibilities for insight and change. Rather than relying on fixed techniques, you'll learn to adapt your approach based on what is emerging in each conversation.
You'll also be introduced to the AWARE Model, a practical framework designed to help you translate these ideas into everyday practice.
Through the session and accompanying reflective activities, you'll develop practical strategies that can be applied across coaching and other helping professions to support deeper conversations and more meaningful outcomes.
