Dreamwork for Coaches Teleclass
The Dreamwork teleclass is designed to provide coaches with the confidence to explore a new aspect of the coach/client relationship utilizing core competencies that they already possess.
Participants will get an overview of:
- How to use the basic coaching tools of active listening and asking powerful questions to help the client access the message of their dream through the co-creative process.
- How to help their clients remember and document their dreams.
- The context of understanding how dreams communicate with the rational mind.
- The roles of the Dreamer (the client) and the Listener (the coach) in working with dreams
- How to demystify the process of working with dreams through the use of imagination. Active Imagination allows the coach and client to re-enter a dream and further explore the animals and characters that may appear.
- How to understand the emotional arc of a dream, identify where the greatest energy is and work with the client to explore how that informs their waking life.
- Understand that some dreams are diagnostic in that they demonstrate a limiting belief or behavior (sometimes these appear as repetitive dreams and sometimes as nightmares) and some dreams are prescriptive, suggesting that we pay attention to an experience or intuitions.
Approximately half the class will be a discussion of using dreams in the context of the coaching paradigm and the second half will be a coaching demonstration so you can witness the power of working with dreams in your own coaching practice.
We will be doing 1-2 demonstrations, so bring your dreams to the class if you want to experience this first hand!

Meet Kathy Bernard
You’ve likely heard the buzz about LinkedIn. LinkedIn IS powerful for business … but only if you know how to use it. That’s why I’m excited to introduce today’s speaker. She’s a well-known LinkedIn expert, trainer, and author who will teach us exactly what to do to find and reach our target customers and to turbo charge our sales on the world’s largest business network – LinkedIn.
Before becoming a LinkedIn expert, our speaker led communications and advertising at some of St. Louis’ finest companies including Enterprise Rent-A-Car (Enterprise Holdings), Brown Shoe (now Caleres) and CBS Radio where she and her teams racked up 27 awards for communications excellence.
It was her love of communicating that led her to start her popular blog to help the unemployed and miserably employed land a great career. And it was during her occasional stints at being unemployed and miserably employed herself that she discovered the wonders of LinkedIn. She used the site to land two jobs and went on to use LinkedIn to promote her own successful company.
She trains individuals, companies and nonprofits to make the most of LinkedIn to reach their target prospects -- whether those prospects are employers, customers, job candidates or donors.
She’s all about furthering your goals for business or career … so let’s welcome the LinkedIn Whisperer … Kathy Bernard!
