Dr. Katrina Burrus, MCC interviews Dorothy E. Siminovitch, PhD, MCC about her new book, A Gestalt Coaching Primer: The Path Toward Awareness IQ and asked the following questions:

  1. You have coined the term “awareness intelligence,” or Awareness IQ. What does that mean in terms of coaching effectiveness and coaching success?
  1. “Mindfulness” is so touted in today’s world. How is mindfulness connected with the Gestalt approach to coaching?
  1. In your book, A Gestalt Coaching Primer, you draw a distinction between coaching presence and use of self skills. Can you make that distinction clear for us?
  1. How is Gestalt coaching a systems approach? Why does that matter?
