Description : ICF defines Coaching Presence as being fully conscious and present with the client, employing a style that is open, flexible, grounded and confident.

Many people describe being present as "dancing in the moment" with our clients.

In either case, "presence" has an intensely physical component, it is not an intellectual concept.

When we are truly present, we can support our clients to take their resourcefulness to a deeper level.
