Emergent Coaching – A Gestalt Approach to Mindful Leadership

Abstract

This is paper explores a post-modern Gestalt approach to coaching which suggests multiple levels of engagement inclusive of physical/sensory, social/cultural, emotional/biological, projective/imagined and spiritual/intuitive levels of influence. The model reviewed here focuses primarily upon the ‘process’ of communication rather than its content, and deals with what is emerging ‘now’ rather than past problems and issues.
