“Integrative Presence was transformational for me in my coaching practice and in life as well.”

It showed me in an embodied way how my sensing radar can even get more powerful than I expected. However, I already knew that slowing down was an important competency, becoming aware of the speed and impact of my ‘cartographer’ and challenging myself to postpone my ‘judgement’ was one of the moments I value most. It was of a different kind, compared with other learnings. Highly recommended for every coach or leader who wants to make an impact in a different way. The warm and welcoming guidance of Tünde and Claire created a safe learning space in which it was great to get committed.

“When I decided to participate in the integrative presence training I was pretty sure that I had a clear understanding of my person and my “being present”.

However, on writing my reflection paper after the first session, I recognized that there was much more to the concept of “present” than I had been aware of. Moving through the training, I was challenged in different ways – not only intellectually. I tried to learn to interact with my body, which is also “talking” to me. And I learned that this is not magic because there are scientific methods available to make relationships and emotions visible. Hence, my takeaway from this training is that interacting with my body in the here and now makes me feel better and more efficient and aware of how I appear to my environment.

“Integrative Presence taught me to use all my senses…”

This experiential learning fits me very well… it challenged me and helped me integrate what I learned powerfully: by taking action immediately and reflecting constantly. I built my awareness and flexibility as a coach, but first of all as a human being.

Most of all I loved the energy provided by Tünde and Claire! I received encouragement, challenges, vigorous feedback, love and patience. All this helped me to move forward.

Integrative Presence taught me to use all my senses. I learned it is not about me, it is about how we are in the moment together with all there is. It is about addressing what is within us. It is about relating and being human. And being aware of our impact.

“Mandatory for all coaches and leaders…”

The Integrative Presence program exceeded my expectations. As a scientist and coach, I appreciate that it is based on solid and innovative research.

The findings and most of all Tünde’s insightfulness and commitment have given birth to a unique coaching training for everyone and without any doubt mandatory for all coaches to thrive in the new era of digitalization and overwhelming information.

It has been an irresistible experience. We need more!! Congratulations Tünde and Claire you are building a fantastic and powerful partnership for the sake of all.

“The value of this training is huge…”

What I enjoyed the most was the disorienting experience. I had to unlearn things. I felt like a beginner and I loved it as it does not happen always in adult life, and yet it connects me with my true essence. 

I also enjoyed the diversity of the group, which made it less easy for me to fall into comfort. The value of this training is huge and will manifest itself even more with time, as the practice goes on and new insights will emerge.

“The interactions with the other participants were the best…”

I feel I could find a “door” that fits me into the “coaching world” and “transfer” it into my own “language” to make it my own. Perhaps other participants had more trouble than me by having NO idea what would happen – it fits me perfectly – don’t change this! The different interactions with the other participants were – for me – the best thing to have.

“It adds depth to the coach-client relationship…”

In the program, I experienced a different way of being in client relationships. Rather than the traditional ‘hold the space’ for the client relationship where the coach is almost a neutral party, I learned that it is important to bring ourselves more fully to co-create our relationship with the client. It is not just our words, intonations, and intentions that define the relationship, it is our senses and body reactions that affect presence. This was a new concept for me and opened up new possibilities to be present, adding richness and depth to the coach-client relationship. Tünde, Claire, and my fellow participants created an experience that was challenging, enlightening, and rewarding.
