Inner Game Coaching
The Inner Game IS the Game
Expanding Awareness of Energy Patterns
The inner game is made up of thoughts, feelings, actions, beliefs, values and motivations - everything that happens on the “Inside of the player”. The purpose of Inner Game Coaching is a player who is fully alive and playing the game with great joy and zest!
The inner game is essential to success in any game because it forms the basis of every choice, every decision. We also refer to Inner Game Coaching as the Expand Awareness part of the coaching method because it is all about helping the player see themselves more clearly and then to be able to play more fully.

The New Game Creates Chaos
(Module 1) 5 Hours (DTMOPP) (ICF CCEU)
The topics covered in this module include:
- Expanding awareness of energy patterns
- The spark of desire creates chaos
- Conflict: the catalyst for growth
- The Energy Patterns of resisting, reacting and controlling due to inner conflict and the syptoms of overwhelm, isolation and frustration.
- The Super- Conductive Energy Patterns of allowing, responding, co-creating which lead to harmony and ease in the new game
- Brief description of the Inner Game Coaching Method
Topic 1: Expanding awareness of energy patterns
An overview of the concept of expanding awareness and coaching. The 3 fundamental Energy Patterns of feeling, thinking and action. A brief discussion of pattern recognition as essential to the coaching process.
Topic 2: The spark of desire creates chaos
An overview of the natural cycle of life from a spark of desire to play a new or bigger game which creates chaos, through the path of getting stuck by controlling, reacting and resisting, shifting the energy by allowing, responding, and acting in concert with the universe which leads to fulfillment; Then after some time in “order” we have a spark of desire for a bigger game which starts the process all over again.
Topic 3: Conflict: the catalyst for growth
In this topic we will explore the nature of conflicting intentions. A conflicting intention is any pattern of feeling, thought or action which does not support the coachee’s current intention or objective. This is an essential part of the coaching process because EVERY new goal will create conflict with the coachee’s current way of operating.
Topic 4: The Energy Patterns of resisting, reacting and controlling due to inner conflict and the syptoms of overwhelm, isolation and frustration.
In this topic we will review the three fundamental human experiences of the information age where coaching provides enormous benefits: Overwhelm, Isolation and Frustration. Each is caused by the energy patterns of resisting feeling, reacting emotionally and attempting to control outcomes.
Topic 5: The Super- Conductive Energy Patterns of allowing, responding, co-creating and harmony
In this topic we will discuss the coaching methods that transfer the energy of resisting into feeling, reacting into thinking clearly and controlling into acting in concert with the universe. The paths are created through the desire for openess, freedom and trust.
Topic 6: The Inner Game Coaching Method
We will briefly review the Inner Game Coaching Method: Put your player in the game. This topic is covered in great detail in module #2.
The Inner Game Coaching Method
(Module 2) 5 Hours (DTMOPP) (ICF CCEU)
The topics covered in this module include:
- The Inner Game Coaching Method: Put Your Player in the Game.
- Techniques for shifting energy patterns in the Body
- Techniques for shifting energy patterns in the Mind
- Techniques for shifting energy patterns in the Soul
Topic 1: Review the Inner Game Coaching Method: Put Your Player in the Game.
Ideally as a coach you would be able to observe your player in action / or lack of action and then give feedback. But this is rarely possible in life and business coaching. To put your player in the game you have to first have an understanding of the game your player is playing. Then you identify a specific action that is part of playing the game; an action that is presenting some difficulty for your player. Then you use a visualization technique to re-create the experience so that you can coach them.
Topic 2: Techniques for shifting energy patterns in the Body
The techniques for shifting energy in the body involve expanding the capacity to feel. We will learn a variety of effective guided visualization techniques for exploring the physical sensations that are triggered by life’s experiences. Feeling physical sensations and noticing without reacting to the emotions that surround them is often a life changing experience. Using these techniques shifts the coachee from a place of resisting to one of allowing. It shifts the energy from overwhelm to freedom.
Topic 3: Techniques for shifting energy patterns in the Mind
The techniques for shifting energy in the mind involve integrating logic and emotion. There are several techniques for thinking clearly about a situation that include emotions but are not dominated by them. Separating the facts from the story is a powerful technique that can be used. Using these techniques shifts the coachee from a place of reacting to a place of responding. It shifts the energy from isolation to one of openness.
Topic 4: Techniques for shifting energy patterns in the Soul
The techniques for shifting energy in the soul involve seeing the perfection in the situation. Finding the perfection requires seeing yourself in the big picture of your life, the community, the world and even the cosmos. There are a variety of guided visualizations and guided inquiries that enable the coach and coachee to see from this perspective. Using these techniques shifts the coachee from a place of control to a place of co-creating with everything that is happening. It shifts the energy from frustration to trusting the universe and life itself.
Methods for Shifting Pattern Language and Energy Patterns
(module 3) 5 Hours (DTMOPP) (ICF CCEU)
The topics covered in this module include:
- Topic 1: Going deeper into the techniques for shifting Energy Patterns
- Topic 2: The method for identifying pattern language
Topic 1: Going deeper into the techniques for shifting Energy Patterns
The techniqes for shifting energy patterns require a great deal of practice. We will continue the work that was started in module 2 and go deeper with more examples.
Topic 2: The method for identifying pattern language
In this session we will practice identifying and naming the pattern language at play in the coachee situation. This is an advanced coaching skill. We will use the put the player in the game method as a starting point. Often when the coachee is stuck the cause is dissonance or conflict between the body, mind and/or soul so we will use the methods for shifting energy patterns. While doing so we will listen carefully for language with an energetic charge. Then we will work with the player to specifically name the language that is keeping a limiting pattern in place. Naming the pattern language creates awareness and quickly transforms conflicting patterns into harmony.
