PLAYWORKS EXPERIENTIAL COACHING
Don't Just Talk About What Needs to Change.

Practice Becoming the Person Who Can Change It.

Instead of ending a coaching session with:
"I know what I should do."
You leave with:
"I've started practicing how to do it."

Start a Coaching Conversation

WHEN YOU KNOW SOMETHING NEEDS TO MOVE
You Don't Have to Be Stuck to Want Something Different.

Experiential Coaching is designed for people who are functioning, capable, and moving through life...
but know there's another level they want to reach.

Maybe you're:
• leading a team and feeling the weight of responsibility
• growing a business and carrying too many decisions alone
• preparing for an important conversation
• stepping into a new leadership role
• navigating change or uncertainty
• struggling to take action on something you know matters
• questioning what the next chapter should look like
• successful on paper but feeling disconnected from where you're headed

You don't need someone to hand you a list of answers.
You need a place to explore what's happening and start practicing what's possible.

Let's Talk About What's Next

MORE THAN A CONVERSATION

Insight Matters. Experience Makes It Real.

Traditional coaching often relies heavily on conversation.
Conversation is still important here.
But sometimes talking about something only takes you so far.

So we may also:

ROLE-PLAY IT

Practice the conversation before you have it.

REPLAY IT

Explore a moment that didn't go the way you wanted.

PRE-PLAY IT

Imagine and practice how you want to respond next time.

EXPERIMENT WITH IT

Try a different approach and see what happens.

MOVE WITH IT

Use movement or an activity to interrupt the way you've been thinking.

NOTICE IT

Pay attention to your reactions, assumptions, patterns, and possibilities.

APPLY IT

Turn what you've discovered into something you can take into the real world.

The goal isn't simply to understand yourself better.
It's to become more capable of responding differently when the real moment arrives.

BRING THE REAL THING

Coaching Starts With What Matters to Yo

There is no predetermined problem you have to bring into PlayWorks Coaching.
We work with the challenge, opportunity, conversation, decision, or goal that's actually in front of you.

Bring Us What You're Working On

THE PART MOST PEOPLE SKIP

You Can Practice Life.

Athletes practice before competition.
Actors rehearse before opening night.
Musicians practice before performing.

But when it comes to leadership, communication, relationships, business, and life...
we often expect ourselves to get it right the first time.

Experiential Coaching gives you a place to practice before the stakes are real.

Need to make an important ask?
Practice it.
Need to have a difficult conversation?
Practice it.
Need to show up differently as a leader?
Practice it.
Need to respond differently when something triggers your usual reaction?
Practice it.

You don't have to wait for the moment to discover how you want to handle it.

Practice What's Next

THE FOUNDATION

Coaching the Whole Experience.

PlayWorks Coaching is grounded in three ideas.

FREEDOM

Get clearer about what matters,
here you're headed, and what deserves your energy.

BELONGING
Explore the relationships, environments,
support, and connection that help you grow.

BECOMING
Experiment with new actions, perspectives, behaviors,
and possibilities as you become the next version of yourself.

Purpose gives direction.
Love creates belonging.
Play creates becoming.

HOW WE PLAY

Growth Can Feel Different Here.

The Four Pillars of PlayWorks influence how we coach.

Physical Freedom

Sometimes getting out of your head starts with getting out of your chair.
Movement can interrupt rigid thinking and create new awareness.

Lightness & Laughter

Growth doesn't have to feel heavy all the time. Lightness creates room to experiment without needing every attempt to be perfect.

Authentic Expression

There isn't one correct version of you we're trying to create.
Coaching helps you find more freedom to lead, communicate, create, and act in ways that are genuinely yours.

Yes! Energy

At some point, insight needs action. We look for opportunities to experiment, try, ask, create, practice, and move.

COACHING WITH DENNIS
Dennis Narlock

Chief Play Strategist | Certified Coach

Dennis approaches coaching with curiosity, challenge, experimentation, and a belief that people often discover more when they actively engage with a situation instead of only analyzing it.

His role isn't to live your life for you or hand you a formula.

It's to help you see more clearly, explore possibilities, practice important moments, notice what gets in the way, and create forward movement toward what matters.

Expect questions.
Expect challenge.
Expect experimentation.
And yes...
Expect some play.

YOUR NEXT MOVE
What Are You Ready to Work On?

Maybe you already know.
Maybe you only know that something needs to change.
That's enough to start a conversation.
We'll talk about what you're trying to create, what's getting in the way, and whether Experiential Coaching is the right fit.
