Topic: Coaching Through Fear: An Interactive Panel Discussion

Presenter: Dr. Jeffrey Hull and Judith Fox

In this difficult economic time, coaches need to be effective at helping their clients face off with fear - transforming it from foe to friend. Using their own case studies and revealing specific techniques and practices for raising "fear awareness" while avoiding key missteps, Dr. Jeffrey Hull and Judith Fox, will discuss the range of approaches that coaches may utilize when supporting clients through fear.

In this interactive and experiential presentation, these two experienced counselors who work at the intersection of psychotherapy and life coaching will share with you:

• The nature of fear and how it shows up in coaching engagements
• How to recognize fear in a client and how to help them move through it
• How to dive below the surface symptoms and raise the client's "fear awareness"
• How to coach clients through fear using exercises that bring into play body, mind, and heart
• The five key myths that surround fear and how to de-bunk them

Jeffrey Hull, Ph.D. is a writer, psychotherapist, life and executive coach whose work ranges from single individuals in private practice to major engagements with Fortune 500 corporations. Dr. Hull currently maintains a Jungian-oriented counseling practice in New York City. His new book, Shift! Let Go of Fear and Get Your Life in Gear will be published by Globe Pequot Books in December 2009.

Judith Fox, M.S. is a psychotherapist in private practice, with offices in NYC and Westchester County. She works with couples, families and individuals, specializing in relationship counseling. She has been in private practice for 23 years and remains passionate about helping people transform their lives

Have your clients lost their jobs or concerned they're going to?

Learn specific career counseling skills to:

• Guide clients in strategizing this challenging employment market
• Develop the targeted tools clients need for a dynamic job search campaign

Learn from an expert how to be a valuable partner to your clients and assist them with proven search methods that help them to get a job. During the past 14 years I've delivered career coaching to corporate executives and individuals. I have worked with many of the City's premier and boutique outplacement firms - and am now currently working with The Ayers Group, an international outplacement firm.

As challenging as this time is, I know my clients are going through it with a system and with more confidence than candidates who don't have a professional partner. You can do this for your clients too.

Coaches attending a recent session found these approaches immediately applicable in their work.
