TOPIC: Chapter 15: Hermeneutic Coaching, Human Interactions, and Meaning Making
TEXT: PROFESSIONAL COACHING, Principles and Practice, Springer Publishing Co, 2019

As coaches, much of what we do hinges on understanding and being understood. Hermeneutics refers to the many ways that we interpret our experience, including that of comprehending and communicating with others. Proficiency in hermeneutics helps people form questions that go to vital places in the life worlds of both clients and coaches. It helps people actually work with the meanings emerging among them.

Join us for this program where we will explore the concepts of hermeneutics and how you can put them into practice in your coaching.

Key questions that will be answered include:

• What does the term “Hermeneutic” mean?
• What are key elements in the Hermeneutic approach?
• How do they relate to my coaching?  How can I utilize these concepts?
