The Embodied Reset

But how you show up in your body shapes everything: your presence, your coaching, your leadership. This Sunrise Session is an embodied experience designed to help you reset before the day begins.

After individual reflection, pairs share one moment of impact / surprise. The session closes with a brief introduction to how AI can support coach development, using qualitative language instead of scores, and keeping the human at the center of every insight.

Drawing on my True values framework, participants will explore a deceptively simple question: Who are you being today?

CAMPFIRES: AT SUNRISE - Suha Daou (Tue, April 27, 2027)

Sunrise Eye Opening

Facilitated by Suha Daou

Aristotle was often referred to as the “First Teacher.” Several centuries after the death of Aristotle, Al-Farabi, a renowned philosopher in 10th century Baghdad earned the title of “Second Teacher” for his work in extending the thoughts espoused by Aristotle. Al-Farabi argued that education's highest purpose was human flourishing: developing the whole person, unifying values, knowledge, and practice. This sunrise session brings this wisdom into the ongoing dialogue on coach education. From these ancient roots, we can expand our horizons.
