"Transformational Presence Leadership and Coaching Tools You Don't Want to be Without" is a virtual workshop designed to empower coaches and leaders to deepen their competencies; it will improve presence, listening, awareness, taking action, communication, and trust. TPLC is an innovative approach to coaching and leadership in that its focus is on energy and transformation, watching for the potential that wants to emerge. Since everything is energy in motion, we work with the tools and the client's energy so s/he can resolve conflicts, get unstuck, and confidently move forward in uplifting and dynamic ways. After briefly describing the essence of TPLC in the 'virtual workshop,' Nicki will introduce four TPLC tools; coaches will pair off in twos to practice three of the four tools after they're presented. The fourth tool will be given to you in the slides.

Participants will:

• develop a new perspective about working with their clients' energies while noticing any potential that wants to emerge.
• learn how to navigate through the four ways people engage, coaching toward choice and opportunity vs. drama and situation.
• learn to promote dialogue between conflicting voices in a client by using the Three Intelligences.
• know more about and utilize the two orientations we have in life--Soul and Ego--and how they can partner effectively.
• be introduced to the "Deep Simple" tool Alan Seale developed to sift down quickly to the essence of an issue, asking what role it wants the person to play and what they can do today to make an important shift start to happen.
