'We are very pleased to recommend to you the teachings of John Kent. We consider him to be an outstanding facilitator and teacher of Voice Dialogue and the Psychology of Selves. We are very pleased that he is now running programs in London after his many years of travelling around the world as a management consultant. He is very bright, very organized and very knowledgeable in our work. Besides all of this, he has a wonderful sense of humour that makes the work and learning fun.'

Overview  

 

This training will provide a comprehensive grounding in the theory and practice of Voice Dialogue, The Psychology of Selves and the Aware Ego Process. At the end of the training participants will have a powerful new tool that will complement their practice and enhance their ability to help clients achieve more balance in their lives.

The training is experiential and process oriented and based on the ancient wisdom: "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand."

Structure

The training includes 4 workshops totaling 10 days spaced over 9 months. Each workshop will focus on the theory and practice of Voice Dialogue and its application to a range of client issues.

In addition, over the course of the training, participants will receive a total of 6 personal 90-minute facilitations from the trainer (face to face or via skype), and will be expected to complete a minimum of 20 practice sessions with other members of the group.

Video conferencing facilities will be available so that the group can stay connected at distance.

There will be required reading, viewing and listening throughout the program.

Certificates of attendance are available for CPD.

Methodology
  • Short talks and presentations by the trainers
  • Demonstration sessions
  • Written, video and audio material
  • Group and individual exercises and practices
  • Q & A debriefing sessions
  • Supervised facilitation
  • Private sessions (face to face or via skype)
  • Comprehensive self-study materials
 

'Voice Dialogue has become by far my favourite process with clients. There is no other methodology I know of that does what coaching promises with such ease; helping the client to find the answer inside.

 

'Through facilitating the client's energies or voices, confusion is quickly dismantled, compassion for self is found and inner clarity emerges. The resulting insight can be used in a more traditional coaching conversation to help inform next steps and commitments.

 

'John is an amazing Voice Dialogue facilitator and a wonderful teacher, I can't recommend training with him highly enough. Mastering Voice Dialogue will transform the way you coach.'

'John Kent's mastery over the teaching and facilitating of the Voice Dialogue process is an art that I have experienced both as a client and as one of John's students in completing his Voice Dialogue facilitator training.

  

'I cannot speak highly enough of John in both capacities. As a facilitator he is a master and as a trainer he balances encouragement and penetrating insights with a light touch and humour that, for me, accelerated my learning.

 

'Voice Dialogue has a flexibility of use that I find natural to incorporate into Executive Coaching. The method, in my view, is different from and resonates with Transactional Analysis; The Gestalt paradoxical theory of Change; as well as Behavioural Coaching and Ontological Coaching.

 

'As a client I experienced twenty-eight different selves, loved the experience, and gained enormous insight into what drives my thoughts and behaviour. The result is that I have a lot more self-awareness in my reactions and much more choice in my actions. I feel happier and more balanced than ever.'
