Incorporating Neuro-Inclusion in Your Coaching Practice

In this second-level session hosted by Tara Langan and Alan Wise, we will revisit and enhance our understanding of why neuro-diversity is important to acknowledge as part of your coaching practice and provide tangible strategies that you can incorporate immediately to ensure neuro-inclusion within your coaching practice. Examples will include:

• Adjusting your intake process
• Questions you can ask your client that set them up for success

We'll also cover further professional development opportunities to continue your professional development in this area. Our format for this session will be primarily experiential with facilitated work in both pairs and table-groups.
