The Topic
When have you last experienced a deep sense of soul?
In this webinar, Hetty, Leslie and Simon invite you to explore Soul Guide Coaching - what it is, why it matters, and how it offers a response to the unrelenting assault on soul from multiple directions in today’s world. From systems that prioritise speed and productivity, to cultures of disconnection and distraction, the conditions we live in often leave little room for depth and reflection.
Soul Guide Coaching invites us to pause and reconnect - with ourselves, with others, and with what is meaningful. It asks: what does it mean to reclaim soul in our personal and professional lives? What does it mean to coach, lead or support others from a place that honours depth and presence.
