Presence & Practice

Coaching After Cancer

A Peer Series for Coaches on Integrating the Cancer Experience

An invitation for coaches who have experienced cancer. This is a confidential, 4-week virtual series designed to explore the profound intersection of our cancer journey and our coaching identity. This is not a paid course; it is a free, peer-to-peer container for community, integration, and shared exploration.

An Invitation From Your Facilitator

As a fellow coach and a cancer survivor, I've been reflecting on how my own journey has fundamentally changed the way I show up—what I listen for, what I value, and my very sense of presence. I know I'm not alone in this.

I created this series to fill a need I've felt myself: a space to be in conversation with peers who "get it."

I will be facilitating as a "participant-leader," meaning I will hold the structure for our conversations while also participating in the exploration right alongside you.

Is This Series For You?

This series is designed for a specific purpose and audience to ensure the container is safe and effective for all. This group is intended for reflection and integration, rather than acute crisis support.

Please see if this description resonates with you:

  • You are a certified coach and are currently in practice (part-time or full-time).

  • You have completed your primary cancer treatment and are in a stable place to look back on and reflect on your experience.

  • You are curious about how this journey has impacted your coaching practice and identity.

  • You are looking for a confidential, supportive community of peers to explore this topic.

  • You are willing to commit to all four sessions to co-create a space of high trust.

The Experience: What to Expect

  • ✺ Small Cohort

    Intentionally limited to 6 coaches to ensure intimacy and time for all voices.

  • ✺ Confidential Container

    We will co-create our "Rules of Engagement" in the first session.

  • ✺ Structured & Spacious

    Each meeting blends a structured activity (visualizations, value-mapping, etc.) with ample time for group discussion.

  • ✺ Virtual

    All sessions will be held via Zoom.

Our 4-Week Journey

  • We will co-create our safe container and, through a guided visualization, begin to explore the relationship between our "Coach Self" and our "Cancer Experience Self."

  • We will look back to identify the specific strengths and resources that held us up during our experience, and claim them as part of our enduring coaching identity.

  • We'll use our shared language (like the 'Levels of Listening') to explore how our new clarity on values and identity shows up in our work with clients.

  • We will bring all the threads together to craft a personal, durable metaphor that captures our integration and serves as a guide for our future practice.
