Because YOU, dear
coach, matter

The Compassionate Shadow is a live, experiential programme for coaches who want to: 

live, work and coach from a place of sustained well-being

deepen their presence by understanding the parts of themselves that shape how they coach.

This is not a theory-based course. It is a guided integration journey, designed to help you recognise, understand, and work with your shadow in a way that is grounded, practical, and deeply human.

Become a coach who can meet anything by learning to meet everything within yourself

Most coaches are taught to focus on the client. 


But the truth is, you are as much a part of the coaching dynamic as they are. 


Your history. Your patterns. The parts of you, you identify with - and the parts you’ve pushed away. 


They don’t stay outside the room. They come with you.

And if you don’t recognise them, they will shape what you notice, what you avoid, and what becomes possible in the conversation.  


This is where shadow work begins. 

Not as something abstract. 

Not as something dark or heavy. 


But as a way of: 

  •  Understanding what’s happening within you in real time 
  •  Meeting it with compassion 
  •  And staying present, no matter what arises

The programme works by doing two things simultaneously:

1. The compassion component strengthens your relationship with self. Present tense, present moment self. When you drop into what is true and real, in the here and now, you stay in close contact with your resources – imagination, courage, creativity, nerve, to name but a few. You need strong contact with self to differentiate from your parts. 


2. The shadow component supports you in saying *hello* to every niggle and worry and self-flagellation and fear and grief and moan and jealousy: pulling up a chair to all of them and asking, “What do you need me to know?” This is the first step to integration. 


When you put these two things together, you learn to keep your heart open and soft, your mind gentle and curious in the face of whatever doubt, fear, worry or limitation comes your way. 

And when you turn to your coaching from this place? Well, my love, the joy comes back. Because when all is welcomed, all is well.

Programme Elements
HERE IS HOW THE PROGRAMME WILL RUN

WATCH a short introductory video so you come to each session feeling prepared and with shared definitions for our work ahead. Pre-recorded.

MEET in group to explore the concepts and embody the learning. 3 hour live sessions.

INTEGRATION sessions are an informal place to bring questions and queries as they’re materialising for you, in between sessions. Optional. 60minute drop in live sessions.

WEEK ONE

Introduction
Building the container for our work. Understanding the importance of a self-compassion practice. What is shadow, why do we have it and how might we recognise its presence?

WEEK TWO

Projection
What is projection? Why do we do it? How to go ‘projection fishing’ to start understanding how our shadow is communicating with us. Learning your own language of shadow.

WEEK THREE

Polarities
What are polarities? How do polarities help us connect to our shadow? Increasing our range by saying I am this…and this, too.

WEEK FOUR

Parts
What are parts? How are parts different to self? Which parts are seeking contact? Coming into relationship to deepen the work.

WEEK FIVE

Shadow Figure
Working with a shadow figure. Flipping the script on parts work. Bringing tenderness and care to our relationship building.

WEEK SIX

Patterns
Putting it all together. Deepening what’s emerging. Learning how to map the trail and when to dig deeper. This is the tool that will help you travel with shadow over a lifetime.

WEEK SEVEN

Implications for Coaching
How can shadow work support the full range of your life as a coach; from relational presence to risk-taking, to pricing or visibility. Overlay your learning on your professional practice.

WEEK EIGHT

Consolidation


Consolidation. Reflection. Clarification. This learning is not designed to sit in a notebook – how will you live it, every day?

- Hormoz Ahmadzadeh

FAQs

  • I am not a coach. Can I participate?
    Unfortunately, not this time. The programme is for anyone working as a coach, at any stage in their career, with an interest in personal and professional development.
  • I am a coach but I am not certified. Can I participate?
    Of course! We use the ICF Core Competencies as a framework for understanding how we show up in the coaching relationship but you do not need to have prior knowledge of these competencies to attend.
  • Are there any CCEs for attending?
    Yes. CCEs are available. Full details to be added in due course.
  • Do I need to have any prior knowledge of shadow?
    No, not at all. Many people will have zero knowledge in advance. We will learn a little theory together, with the main focus being on experiential learning. A reading list will be provided on sign-up for your general interest.
  • Are the sessions recorded?
    No. The live sessions are highly experiential, as opposed to 'chalk and talk' presentation style. Therefore sessions will not be recorded to ensure people can participate as freely as they wish.
  • What are the dates and times of the live sessions?
    Live sessions run on Wednesday morning between 10am - 1pm:

    16 Sep Week One Welcome

  • Do you offer any reduced fees or scholarship places?
    I am keen to welcome a full range of practitioners on the course and would not want finances to get in the way of your particpiation. If the full fees of £2400 are out of reach for you, I am offering some places on a 'pay what you can afford' basis, no questions asked. As a suggestion, I'd welcome somewhere between full price and £1600. I also welcome suggestions on instalment options that work for you.
