Inner Presence Coaching Program will equip people new to coaching with the right skills to support others to utilize the power of presence to safely access and emotionally connect with core unconscious beliefs in a way where they are effortlessly transformed.

Do you want to learn the optimal way to support people with presence?

We genuinely considered all the ways clients (and therapists/coaches) confound efficacy in therapy and coaching sessions and created protocols and prompts to remedy such derailments.

For example, in an Inner Presence Inquiry Session, the client who stays in a relationship that doesn’t serve them will be gently and expertly guided to hold presence first for the gauntlet of protection in order to emotionally connect with the deeper vulnerable part that hold the emotional reason(s) why it is necessary to stay in the relationship.

This client will be guided to be present to these deeper aspects as well in a skillful way that facilitates transformation and wholeness.

In short, we have developed inquiry protocols and principles that support clients to access vulnerable, disowned aspects of themselves and bring this into awareness so that it can shift. This is an often overlooked dimension with psychospiritual work.

Inner Presence Inquiry work operates on the assumption that no deep and lasting change with happen until and unless what is unconsciously held is brought into the bright light of awareness.

BUT, and this is a huge BUT, the particular way in which some disowned material is brought into awareness makes the difference in whether something can change or not.

Inner Presence work makes the distinction between Intellectual insights versus emotional insights that come from the client emotionally connecting to the deeper vulnerable parts. Big difference between the two in terms whether another intellectual story gets developed or authentic transformations occurs.

Here’s more information about effortless transformation.

Many people report that “issues” they worked on for years were resolved quickly with Inner Presence work.

You are invited to discover this unique, “next level” way of supporting people!

After completing the 9-Month Inner Presence Coaching program and using these innovative methods, your clients will be saying things like:

  • “I don’t know what you did, but my life has changed.”
  • “I’m calmer and more at ease with myself.”
  • “I no longer get triggered by so and so issue.”
  • “This guardedness I had all my life is no longer with me.”
  • “I have more inner space, and the activity in my life has slowed down and is effortless…”
  • “My relationship with my spouse changed, and we were not even working on that.”
  • “My creativity is finally freed.”
  • “The thing that was holding me back is no longer present.”
  • “I can’t believe that used to be a problem for me.”
  • “The addictive urges have fallen off.”
The 9-month Inner Presence Coaching training has been transformational for me personally and professionally. As a student in the program, I received numerous sessions from both my fellow students and from Jerry. These allowed me to realized the unconscious belief patterns I had about relationships and family.

I started the program as a single mom and finished the program engaged to a wonderful man and expecting a second daughter. It means a lot to me to now offer the same powerful coaching to people who are seeking more peace in their lives.

I have seen the profound impact the Inner Presence sessions have to help people effortlessly let go of repetitive cycles and patterns, unconscious limiting beliefs, and internal strife. It is exciting to see these same people, after just a few sessions, experience significant shifts that allow them to truly thrive.
Gina Mashburn Heath, Inner Presence Coach (Changed careers)

“I learned how to deeply connect with various parts of me, to make sense out of them, and to create spaciousness around them. I have a much easier time being present for myself no matter what I’m going through and what parts of me arise. I do not stuff them down or reject them. I listen to them. I feel now that the space I occupy in the world is unconditional.

I also learned how to do that for others. As a coach, I benefited from learning and embodying non-judgmental facilitation and being able to refrain from inserting my agenda or push the client in the direction of my choosing. It was valuable to me that I found a more honest way to support my client than using “acknowledge and validate.”
Dasha Volnova, Life Coach.

“My work with Jerry has been like a balm to my soul. I have “been there / done that” in the realms of personal growth work and this work is the first work that really helped me open to the depth of myself with love and compassion. Now, when I approach edges in life that challenge me, I have a very clear and loving pathway to gather myself so that I can be fully present and available for my life at that moment! Jerry is a highly gifted teacher who truly models what he teaches. I would highly recommend his work to anyone seeking more compassion in their lives and in the world.
Quiana Grace Frost, Life Coach & Spiritual Counselor

“The Inner Presence inquiry work overall gave me the personal awareness I needed to become very conscious of my disempowering unconscious patterns. The course not only helped me deflate these patterns but gave me the personal tools to notice almost immediately when they stand in my way of being who I really am. This is a new higher level of awareness that I have never experienced.
Meg Hanshaw Ph.D Life Coach"

“Jerry’s 9-month coaching program taught me how to support a person when I notice an inner conflict getting in the way of making an important decision or some desired forward movement.  I notice how they get unconsciously stuck in their inner struggle with familiar patterns and habits and their parts have taken over the conversation.  It is at this time that I offer an inner presence session to support the person to deeply connect with what’s going on inside of them.  It’s offering them a way to slow things way down so they can get clarity and create the internal space needed to facilitate the natural shift that takes place when they are supported in such a meaningful way.
Susan Madrid, New Coach

Here are three reasons why this Inner Presence Program is the ultimate investment in yourself.

  1. Honoring Your Purpose: Your monetary investment in refining your skills will yield the high satisfaction and the sense of meaning and purpose that comes from inspiring your Clients to thrive and overcome their challenges.
  2. Your Increased Level of Effectiveness equals referrals: This program will support you in making deep, life-changing contributions to your clients. The return on investment for such effectiveness is your clients refer others to your practice which can create a waiting list practice.
  3. Your Own Personal/Spiritual Growth: You’re investing in your own personal/spiritual growth (it is worth it just for this sake alone). You can’t participate in this program without a significant shift in awareness and seeing some long-standing challenges transformed. Hard to put a price tag on the increase in peace, inner spaciousness, and self-compassion. All those gains will be passed on to your Clients.

You Will Thrive in This course if YOU…

  • Want to inspire the highest truth realization in yourself and pass that on to your clients.
  • Know the value of embodied transcendence that is grounded in everyday life, instead of transcendence that dismisses and disconnects from everyday life…and emotions.
  • Get excited about the healing power of presence and would like to increase your level of being present to yourself and others.
  • Understand the power of working with clients in an experiential way and want to add more of those skills to your toolbox.
  • Perceive the limits of “talk about” or “story about” engagements in the transformational process and want to contribute to clients differently.
  • Are willing to explore fearlessly and heal your unresolved pain (if any) as a means to experience more openness, clarity, and trust.
  • Feel things deeply and at the same time have a sharp mind that loves to learn new out-of-the-box methods and skills.
  • Want to make sure your support of others is from a spacious, neutral position instead of it being subtly ego-driven.

Here’s What’s Included With The 9-Month Inner Presence Program

Here’s What’s Included With The 9-Month Inner Presence Program

The entire 9-month program will be conducted on Zoom Video Conference

  • There will be no associated airfare and lodging costs.
  • You can join the video conference on a desktop computer or your smartphone.
  • If you’re traveling and don’t have internet access you can connect with just your phone.

Half-Day Kickstart Video Conference To Start The Program

This half-day video conference program will be the official start of the program on Saturday, April 22nd, 2023. We’ll come together and get to know each other and create a safe container. We’ll also explore what is presence, and co-create a working definition we will use throughout the course.

20 Interactive Video Conference Group Learning Sessions

We will come together as a group via video conferencing. Groups sessions last 2 hours. The specific dates and times will be decided by the group and will work for everyone. These two hours group video conferencing sessions will be about teaching the core curriculum of 16 modules that will support you in becoming a professional depth coach.

We’ll also do Q & A time, and/or demonstrations of Inner Presence work. We will co-create an experiential learning environment that includes activities, exercises, demonstrations, practice coaching, handouts and more.

With each group video conference session you’ll receive:

  • learning Modules with focused handouts expounding on the topic or skills introduced in the group sessions (see specific content modules below).
  • a partner session assignment where you will practice new-learned skills with a someone else in the program or a practice-client outside the program.
  • an individual practice assignments which will support your own awareness, presence and emotional connections practices.
  • an audio and video recording of the group conference to review. Several students have reported they went back over the course after they finish the course and got a lot more the second time around.

3 Private Coaching Session With Jerry

These sessions will give you a sense of what your clients will experience in an Inner Presence session and reinforce what you are learning in the course. You’ll have an opportunity to use these sessions to give attention to anything inside that gets stirred up in the course or in your daily life. You can use them to do deep work on yourself.

As you are probably aware, the deeper the inner work you do with yourself, the deeper you can go with your clients. The more present you are to yourself, the more present you will be to others.

In fact, your effectiveness as an Inner Presence coach will increase exponentially when tending to your own challenges and opening up more space inside.

Ten Self-Paced Video Training Programs

These videos focus on a Relational Inner Map and give you a precise way to tease apart different aspect of the client that emerge in a session. These videos are packed full of useful information that takes people years to learn. Jerry has condensed and organized it all so that you can get the benefit of his years of study of in a very short time.

Once you internalize this information you’ll be poised to effectively contribute to clients because you’ll hear and see things you would have not otherwise heard or seen without the understanding of this Relational Inner Map. You’ll get the skills and confidence it takes to handle anything that comes up.

Look, you could spend 15 years of your life sifting through all the eastern enlightenment literature, the depth psychology modalities, and the compassion training as Jerry has done to come up with something equally effective, but why do that when he has done it for you already. You just need to plug yourself into the existing program and reap the benefits.

Personalized Attention…not a coaching factory!

This is a boutique coaching program designed for you to receive personalized attention from Jerry Donoghue, the founder and developer of this powerful coaching modality. In other words, this is not a mass-produced coaching factory where you would have absolutely no personal contact with the founder. You’ll receive the personalized attention and expert guidance it takes for you to become a very powerful and effective spiritual coach.

16 Dynamic Modules Will That Will Support You In Becoming A Highly Effective Change Agent

What hidden mindsets do you operate out of when supporting people?
To step efficiently into and learn a new paradigm, it’s useful to become aware of the silent assumptions, hidden expectations and unconscious conditioning that conflict with the new framework. You’ll learn:

  • The critical differences between inner presence-based support of Clients and other systems.
  • The essential mindset shifts you must make before you can step into supporting your Clients’ inner presence.
  • How we determine what is an effective means of support.
  • What conflict situations can teach us about presence.
  • The most common responses helping professionals have with Clients that can seem beneficial, but upon closer inspection, are not so helpful.
  • The most under-utilized and overlooked source of supporting another’s transformation, that’s been right under our noses all along….PRESENCE!

What is presence and how do you know you’re being present?
Your understanding and experience of presence will set the stage for doing effective Inner Presence sessions. In this module, I’ll give you a step-by-step experiential understanding of presence and explain in detail EXACTLY what you need to offer to make the optimal gift of presence to yourself and others. You’ll learn:

  • How to work with presence as a dynamic state instead of a static state.
  • How to avoid falling into the trap of making presence an ideal state to attain.
  • The difference between contrived and uncontrived presence.
  • The various referential markers that are indicating presence.

The basics of "seeing without evaluating" for particular inner contexts.

Imagine having a conversation with someone where they are speaking from such a high-level abstractions; there is little or no reference to what they are talking about as it specifically relates to their life. This is how many of us start our inner inquiries. We get trapped using labels before we even start! In this module we’ll learn:

  • Why it is essential to make your daily life your meditation cushion.
  • The biggest mistake people make when looking within and how to avoid that.
  •  How to see without using evaluative labels.

How to increase and channel your emotional literacy into deeply supporting yourself and others.
In this module, you will raise your emotional intelligence to the highest possible quotient. You’ll learn how:

  • Optimizing your emotional intelligence will allow you to connect more deeply with yourself and others, which means more efficiency in supporting effortless transformations.
  • Attuning deeply to what others are feeling (even though they are not expressing feelings directly) will allow you to give others the gift of clarity and deep self-connection.
  • Distinguishing between feelings and what are pseudo-feelings, so you don’t make the mistakes most people make when expressing feelings.
  • Learning to connect with the emotional centers of the brain is the key to accessing hidden beliefs and constructs that impact our lives in so many ways.

Becoming aware of the hidden desires, wants, and values that operate in your life is the key to effortless transformations.
Many of your needs, wants, desires, and values are tightly held in your body/mind system and operate outside of your conscious awareness of them. The information in this module is the foundation to inspiring effortless transformations when you begin to hold these desire/want/ values lightly (become detached). You’ll learn:

  • How to increase your need/want/desire literacy in your own life as a way to connect with yourself and others in deeper, more meaningful ways.
  • The truth about the relationship between what you feel and what you need/want/desire.
  • How understanding what you desire radically empowers you in any given situation or circumstance.

Presence that includes empathy and compassion is the most powerful connection you can have with another.
In this module, you’ll learn the most effective way of holding compassionate empathetic presence for others. This deep way of being with someone is transformative in and of itself. It will be one of the important building blocks for doing Inner Presence Inquiries. You’ll learn how to:

  • Effectively hold compassionate space for another, which allows them to connect powerfully with themselves.
  • Clear yourself before being present to another.
  • Empathetically reflect back what a person is saying and watch their whole body and disposition transform before your eyes. (It is rare to be heard on such a deep level!)
  • Distinguish between Pseudo-empathetic methods you should NEVER use which take the energy and focus away from the other and draws it to yourself.
  • Ask the wrong questions can cause the other to disconnect and inspire them to go up into their head.

Using parts terminology will liberate you from the “I” orientation embedded in our language.
What is a part and how do you know a part is emerging in your experience? We tend to be conditioned to think of ourselves regarding a singular “I”. We are going to break up this notion by looking at our experience regarding parts emerging. Just making this shift to perceiving parts has given people so much relief in living under the tyranny of the “I.” You’ll learn why…

  • Using parts in describing our experience is liberating.
  • It is beneficial to determine what is and is not a part.
  • It is essential to know whether you’re identified with a part or not.
  • It is important to speak for our parts instead of from our parts.

Categorizing parts of yourself will make it crystal clear what is emerging in your experience.
When you begin to look inside yourself, it can be very confusing. At any given time, there is kind of a stream of thoughts, feelings and body sensations happening. We have been enculturated to believe this stream is our “I,” who we are. In this module, we’ll sort out and tease apart your stream into various parts categories and begin to understand the relational aspects of these parts. You’ll have a robust framework to understand and navigate your inner terrain. You’ll learn how to:

  • Hold a high degree of Presence in the face of painful aspects of yourself and not be consumed by these painful parts.
  • Hold presence for the parts of you that protect you and keep us safe from painful experiences.
  • Practice holding presence for protective parts, which helps you disidentify from these parts as “me, in my entirety.”
  • Understand that the parts we don’t like are looking out for our best interests, but doing so in a way where there are huge costs to the bodymind system.

How to bring presence to disowned, exiled or shadow parts which will inspire effortless transformations.

The deeper disowned parts of ourselves hold the keys to transformation. This is a level that people often do not access, yet this is where the potential lies for effortless transformations. The feelings and beliefs of those deeper parts have a dramatic impact on our lives in ways in which we are not aware. It is like they are running our lives from a script on how to be or not be, how to show up, who to associate with, or what careers to choose. In this module, we discuss the foundational knowledge needed to identify and connect with these shadow parts as they emerge. You’ll learn:

  • The basics about how disowned parts are formed and why it is essential to learn the important information they hold for us.
  • How bringing compassion and empathy to these parts can inspire monumental shifts in our beings.
  • How our gifts and passions become casualties of protection from pain, and how connecting to disowned parts is the doorway to integrate these back into our lives.

How working from the widest possible perspective will give you the clarity you need to do life-transforming Inner Presence.

The Inner Presence work operates from a particular viewpoint or perspective. Learning this perspective will serve as an overarching guide when supporting ourselves and others. In this module we’ll learn:

  • The labeling mistakes you want to avoid.
  • Intimate knowledge of relationships between different part categories will increase your effectiveness in an Inner Presence Session.
  • How to cut through the intractable inner loop between two different polarized aspects of yourself.
  • Four critical questions to ask about the relationship between our conditioning and presence to arrive at an intention for the Inner Presence work.

How to hold presence and cultivate a particular kind of connection with our inner parts.
When doing inner work, it becomes important to discover who or what is doing the observing of the inner terrain and the type of connection. Recognizing this crucial distinction can make the difference in whether you have a highly effective session or support the client to spin around chasing their tail. You’ll learn:

  • Why this critical step is necessary to start an Inner Presence Session. How to check on the level of identification will save so much time and energy.
  • What is an effective connection to internal parts and what prevents us from a useful contact?
  • Why spending the time to cultivate a certain quality of connection is the key to going deep.
  • How to acknowledge and welcome different parts.

The most effective ways to enter an Inner Presence Session with Clients

The particular way in which you support a student to enter an inquiry session will hugely impact its effectiveness. You’ll learn:

  • How to explain what an Inner Presence Session is to students and familiarize them with the work to increase their comfort level.
  • How to have a pre-session conversation to discern the object of the inquiry as well as particular contexts to start a session.
  • How to ground the session for both you and the Client.

Attuning and attending to the flow of an Inner Presence session.
This module will support facilitators to attend to the flow of a session. It will address how to allow flexibility within a certain structure.

  • What are the roles of the Coach and the Client?
  • How to create the open-ended space of the Inner Presence session.
  • What are effortless transformations and how do they occur in a session.
  • How to use invitational language to ensure the Inner Presence session is Client-led.

Working with parts that are concerned about the Inner Presence Session
In the flow of an Inner Presence Session, people often encounter parts that have concerns about the session or about allowing some particular part to emerge. In this module, you will learn specific strategies to use when meeting these parts. You’ll learn:

  • The seven most common concerns, and why they must be acknowledged.
  • How to turn concerned parts into allies.
  • How to negotiate with a protector part.

Using the At-a-Glance Prompt sheet in an Inner Presence Session

  • When, and under what circumstances, to use the various prompts on the sheet.
  • How to use the sheet to be aware of certain contingencies that arise during a session.
  • How to use it as a live reference when doing a session.

Common obstacles to being an effective Coach

  •  The nine common ways a Client can diminish the effectiveness of a session.
