Srikanth plans to use the iceberg metaphor to demonstrate how surface behaviors and actions stem from deeper internal thoughts and emotions. He will outline a simple coaching process linked to ICF core competencies to help coaches of all levels enhance their effectiveness, enabling them to guide clients toward significant self-awareness and behavioral changes.

Srikanth will be using the iceberg as a metaphor to explain the 'doing', 'being', and 'knowing' puzzle of a human being. Here, he will explain how the actions we take and behaviors we demonstrate eventually produce results, outcomes, and our ability to achieve goals. The behaviors we demonstrate include the way we speak, the choice of words, and how we express our thoughts and emotions.

He will explain how a human being's awareness can be raised to a new level by exploring their inner world (that includes their inner resources and inner reality) and how it manifests as their outer reality, which is the results, outcome, and our ability to achieve goals (part of the outer reality. He will explain how a coach can use a simple coaching process (not a model) to have a coaching conversation and help the client walk away with a new level of awareness and actions (also a behavior change).

He will simplify how the ICF core competencies can be mapped to the different stages of the coaching process so that a coach (regardless of the experience level) can internalize the core competencies and eventually achieve mastery in coaching.
