When you drive a car on autopilot, your capacity to respond is greatly reduced. The same is true for coaching—if your autopilot takes over, the coaching falls flat.
Effective coaching requires a certain degree of mindful agility, and as coaches, we need to actively build our mindfulness muscle before, during and between sessions.
Embodying a coaching mindset was a welcome addition to the updated ICF Core Competencies. It put a measure on what had hitherto been immeasurable and boosted recognition of the value of reflective practice, regulating one’s emotions, mental and emotional readiness, and self-awareness—all qualities of a mindful coach.
Yet mindfulness is not only at the core of an embodied coaching mindset. It’s also a fast track to amplified coaching presence, helping you remain focused, observant, empathetic, and responsive to the client and supporting you in staying in a state of curiosity and not knowing.
And so, for a second year, ReciproCoach has partnered with Brett Hill, The Mindful Coach to support coaches in developing the day-to-day mindfulness practices that we need to be able to interrupt our autopilots, embody the coaching mindset and access the quality of presence needed to fully support our clients during coaching sessions.
Our Mindfulness Peer Coaching Round includes access to Brett’s Coach-Centered Mindfulness & Presence FastTrack online, video-based course, and together with your assigned peer coach and peer client, it will support you to do any or all of the following:
- Embody a coaching mindset and enhance your coaching presence
- Strengthen your mindfulness muscle
- Be more mindful in your day-to-day life
- Have an active mindfulness practice
- Increase your self-awareness
- Boost your use of self and intuition in coaching sessions
- Use mindfulness practices to mentally and emotionally prepare for sessions
Find out more about what our Mindfulness Peer Coaching Round includes and read testimonials from past participants.

Speaking from my own experience as a participant last year, this Mindfulness Peer Coaching Round has the potential to impact you on a deep level, both personally and professionally. By coupling mindfulness training with giving and receiving peer coaching, you will be actively supported in developing mindfulness practices that can yield long-lasting results for coaching mindset and presence.
Supporting mindfulness in coaches and coaching,

Most coaches have websites, but few actually work. How many clients has your website brought you in the last week, month, year, or ever? There are two parts to the equation of a working website.
