The Liquid Accordion: A Somatic and Embodiment Primer for Coaching In, With, and Through the Body for Coaches and Leaders (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781968127152)

What if the most powerful leverage point in your coaching is not what your clients say, but how their bodies are actually showing up?

Most coaches are trained to work with words, thoughts, and story. Yet beneath every conversation, the human body is constantly shaping mood, presence, and action, often outside of awareness. When coaches ignore the body, they miss an entire dimension of transformation and possibility.
The Liquid Accordion: A Somatic and Embodiment Primer for Coaching In, With, and Through the Body for Coaches and Leaders invites you into that missing dimension. Drawing on decades of leadership and somatic coaching experience, Master Certified Coach (MCC) Croft Edwards offers a clear, practical introduction to coaching in, with and through the body.
In addition to clear theory, Croft walks you step by step through models, practices, illustrations, and concrete coaching practices you can bring directly into your sessions. Inside, you will learn how to:

• Recognize how the body shapes moods, emotions, and way of being in yourself and your clients


• See and work with the liquid accordion of expansion and contraction in real coaching conversations


• Use accessible somatic practices to help clients shift from stuck patterns into more centered, effective action

Written for both newer and seasoned practitioners, this primer gives coaches and leaders a usable foundation in somatic and embodiment work so you can deepen your presence, expand your range, and help clients create more sustainable transformation.
