Narrative Coach:

The Last Mile Technique


Workbook

www.narrativecoach.com 1
As we begin . . .
• This tool is one of many in the Narrative Coach program.

• This program is only available to coaches through WBECS.


Solution
• Like this webinar, it has deep roots and simple practices.

• This work enables you to be more resilient and agile as a coach.

• There is a bonus for you at the end of this webinar.

What you can expect . . .


• How to recognize what triggers you and how to self-regulate when you are triggered

• How to gracefully interrupt clients and help them to rewind their stories in the moment

• How to travel the “last mile” from ‘aha’ to action to enable clients to sustain change

Why this is important for coaches


• Save your energy and time for what matters most.

• Get to the crux of your clients’ issues in less time.

• Increase the range of clients and issues you can work with.

• Get a feel for the Narrative Coach program though two of its tools.

Why this is important for clients


• Increase their ability to notice and shift their inner states.

• Shift narrative patterns not just solve today’s problems.

• Learn tools they can use on their own to sustain results.

The key points in this webinar


• The better that you and your clients can be aware of and manage their inner states, the better you will be able to rewind

and your stories and achieve the desired outcomes.

• Key to your success is the ability to pause and pivot when you are triggered and move in the direction of your new story.

Case Story: Coaching client
• We explore his lack of follow-through on assignments.

• He announces that he has decided to leave the company.

• In talking through what this means for him, he asked me what it was like to become a parent (why he was leaving).

• He shifts from making lists to empowering others before he goes (a result of the pivot he created).

Research suggests it is better to:
• Focus on the cue not the behavior so the client can practice in any moment and build healthy habits.

• Start with what is envisioned or desired; it activates parasympathetic system and openness for learning.

• Balance it with actions that activate the sympathetic nervous system to create structures for success.
