Claudia Day is joined by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Joe Oliver, to discuss Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and its application in coaching. Joe explains the main principles of the ACT model, psychological flexibility, and the importance of gaining observational distance to thoughts and feelings. Learn the evidence-based benefits of ACT in coaching and how it links with other coaching approaches. Experience a live demo of the ACT approach as well as a post-demo discussion.

Discover the impact of technology on coaching, including the potential future of AI coaching and the benefits of using ACT in teamwork and group interventions. Joe's insights and advice are invaluable for coaches looking to expand their toolkits and help their clients achieve psychological flexibility.

"It's not about getting rid of the thoughts or proving them right or wrong, it's simply having some space so I can observe them and ask myself questions like is this workable to me?"
