Hidden Transformation in Becoming an IP

🎙️ Podcast Show Notes IntroductionWhat if the biggest thing standing between you and becoming a more effective intimacy professional is not another certification, protocol, or tool, but your own personal growth? In this episode, Marie Percy and Claire Warden tackle one of the most important and least discussed aspects of intimacy work: the internal work required to do this role ethically and effectively. From managing your own reactions and assumptions to understanding your relationship with power, validation, and control, this conversation explores why self awareness is not a bonus skill for intimacy professionals. It is a professional responsibility. Whether you are brand new to the field or years into your career, this episode offers a powerful invitation to examine how your inner world impacts every room you enter.👂 What to Listen ForWhy personal growth and self awareness are essential professional skills for intimacy coordinators and directors How your emotional state, body language, and energy influence the people around you, even when you say nothing The difference between sharing power and trying to control a room through fear, judgment, or assumptions Claire and Marie’s unforgettable cookie oven metaphor for identifying what belongs to you and what belongs to others How ego, validation seeking, and the desire to be the hero can quietly interfere with your ability to serve collaborators 🔗 Important LinksInstagram: @idcprofessionals Email: [email protected] to Become an Intimacy Professional Free WebinarIntimacy Directors and Coordinators Home PageHow Aspiring Intimacy Professionals Can Build Their First Kit
