Overview

Off the shelf (OTS)

We are symbolic animals — and so are our clients. Drawing on Jungian psychology, this session explores how symbols bridge the conscious and unconscious mind, shaping identity, behaviour and decision-making in ways we rarely notice. Learn to develop a symbolic attitude and begin working with the rich, unspoken material that lives beneath every coaching conversation.
