Working with people in a helping capacity can be听an incredibly humbling experience. I鈥檝e just听finished a clinical placement in a specialist forensic听clinic of a psychiatric hospital, working with some听immensely vulnerable and violent individuals,听 and听that has been an intense learning curve for me 鈥撎齛nd I have learned a lot about myself in the听process.

But whether they are troubled and听traumatised psychiatric patients or the 鈥榳orried听well鈥� clients I work with in my private coaching听practice, I find every relationship contains a听potential wealth of learning experience for both听of us. And every relationship requires that we听begin from a place of not-knowing and trust the听process as it unfolds.

Uncertainty is a necessary component of听creativity. And it is often in the stillness, the听silences, the spaces in between words that the听creative breakthroughs happen and the learning听takes place. For me, using creativity in my听coaching as well as my dance therapy practice听gives my clients a means to communicate when听words are not enough.

The use of creativity in our work is explored听in this issue鈥檚 cover feature by embodiment听practitioners Tsafi Lederman and Jenny Stacey.听They use their knowledge of the arts and听creative practice to help their clients access听deep-seated, unconscious thoughts and听feelings that are impacting on their behaviour. As听they explain, implicit, 鈥榥on-conscious鈥� knowledge听is not processed consciously; it is something we听鈥榢now鈥� but cannot easily express in words. Their听work is testament to the power of creativity as a听vehicle for healing, awareness, understanding听鈥� and self-knowledge.

In another collaborative piece, supervisors听Michelle Lucas and Amanda Larcombe share听their learning through a 鈥榗onversation鈥� in which听they discuss the role and purpose of supervision听鈥� what they do, why they do it and what it means听to them. And, in the return of our Thinking Global听series after a brief hiatus, transformational听coach, mentor and supervisor Peter Wrycza听suggests coaching becomes fully听transformational when the coach is willing and听able to open up into a place of 鈥榥ot-knowing鈥�. It is听in this place, 鈥榖eyond dualities and difference鈥�,听that coach and client 鈥榯ruly meet鈥�, he argues.

In this way, coaching transcends the realms听of the rational and the known and becomes听creative practice. He writes: 鈥榃e need to cast off听from the safe shores of what we already know听into the uncertain waters of 鈥渘ot-knowing鈥�.鈥� It鈥檚听from this place of 鈥榥ot-knowing鈥� that I end my听work with my forensic clients, complete my听studies and bring those accumulated layers of听knowledge and experience into my future听practice.

I wish you all a wonderful summer.
