It was from the first conference we ever held and it features Barr Johnson who invented the concept of Polarity in coaching. How can a coach be both Supportive AND Challenging?; Self Assured AND Humble?; See themselves as a resource AND see the coachee as a resource?

This is the first place where polarity thinking is useful for the coach. Within the list of coaching core competencies of the ICF are a series of implicit polarities.
Barry also discusses how polarity thinking can help the coaches determine which are problems they can solve and which are polarities that are inherently unsolvable. Finally, we cover the application of polarity thinking in helping the coachee leverage the inherent tension between the two poles of the individual and organizational polarities.
