The art of Deep Listening; hearing beyond words
June 18 and 25, 2025 from 12 noon - 3 pm Eastern Time
Truly hearing someone—so they feel deeply seen, understood, and valued—is a rare and powerful skill. At the MCC level, deep listening is more than just hearing words; it’s about attuning to your client’s subtle cues, micro-expressions, and emotions to foster profound transformation. When you listen at this level, you create an environment of trust, safety, and deep awareness, allowing clients to step fully into their own breakthroughs. In this highly interactive and experiential session, you’ll move beyond surface-level listening and develop the skills to listen with curiosity, presence, and intuition. Through live coaching demos, debriefs, and hands-on practice, you’ll sharpen your ability to listen cumulatively, build rapport session after session, and create a space of true empowerment for your clients.

What You’ll Gain:
Listen Like a Master Coach – Develop non-linear, heart-centered listening that fosters deep connection and transformation.
Build Rapport That Lasts – Learn how to listen cumulatively across sessions to strengthen trust and continuity.
Create a Judgment-Free Space – Cultivate deep presence and compassion, removing the need for labels like “good” or “bad.”
Empower Clients Through Trust & Safety – Help clients feel secure enough to take bold, transformational steps.
Coaching Demos + Real-Time Feedback – Witness deep listening in action, then practice and refine your own skills.
Practical Application – Integrate learning with between-session assignments to solidify your mastery.
Who This Is For:
Coaches ready to deepen their listening skills to create more impactful client transformations
Coaches on the path to MCC
Any coach committed to taking their coaching presence and skillset to the next level

This was another great session. I loved the pre-summit coaching example, and I thought framing the three sessions around the 3 key reasons (do the inner work, understand the ICF core competencies, and know where to go for help) was a really helpful structure. Annie tied each session to the new core competencies in a really meaningful way. The group discussion was also excellent. I'm excited to listen to event 3!

I participated in all of the events this year, and they were all SUPER! Although I am not planning to apply for an MCC, I DO want to be a masterful coach. This was my first deep dive into attempting to understand what it means to be an MCC. You can't get that from reading a book or attending a 90-minute webinar. This series was comprehensive, provided depth, and helped me to grasp the intangible skills that are the hallmarks of true masterful coaching. Thank you!

Annie created and delivered a powerful program on the impact of silence in coaching. The group discussions and examples were very helpful to me. As an ACC on my journey to PCC, I was inspired by higher level coaches continuing to grow their skills, being willing to share what they're working on, and the encouragement to continue to grow no matter what your certification level. Witnessing skilled MCC's gives me something to aim for in my coaching. The added bonus of the "Why" content was a nice surprise. It highlighted how our "Why" may be a bias for our coaching. Thank you Annie and all the participants. I highly recommend this program, it's an excellent value.

Annie's presentation was both thoughtful, thorough and informative. As a coach working for my PCC I believed that I was an effective coach. It is now apparent that I have so much more to learn, and put into practice. I will be a far better coach because of this program.
