Visual Coaching for a Visual World

The Visual Coaching Center brings together academics, practitioners, and organizations exploring how images, metaphors, stories, and visual frameworks can deepen reflection, catalyze insight, and support meaningful change.

Welcome

The Visual Coaching Center was founded by Yaron Prywes, Ph.D., as a hub for advancing the practice and study of visual coaching.

Drawing on psychology, persuasion science, and leadership development, visual coaching helps people use images, metaphors, and stories to make sense of complexity, surface hidden assumptions, and imagine new possibilities.

The Center is designed as a constructive consortium — a place where coach educators, researchers, practitioners, publishers, and organizational leaders can learn from one another and contribute to the evolving field of visual coaching.
