Image as Language in Coaching. Experiential Workshop for ESSEC Business School, Executive Certificate in Coaching, Leadership & Change

Written By Yury Li-Toroptsov

On January 8, 2026, I gave an experiential workshop entitled “Image as Language in Coaching” for participants in the Executive Certificate in Coaching, Leadership and Change at ESSEC Business School, my alma mater.

This workshop explores the image as a tool for awareness, clarification, and action in coaching situations.

Thank you to Corinne Forasacco, Academic Director of the program, for the invitation and the trust.
