How Does Coaching Work

Coaching helps us to see the path to ourselves and our capacity that we cannot see on our own. Parts of the inner landscapes are limited. Our mind only allows us so many perspectives as we all have filters life experiences give us. Working with a professional coach who can reflect back to us our truths and tendencies, assisting moving us through the internal process to be accountable to self, is the path to mastery and self-responsibility. True Integral leadership with Body Heart and Mind alignment. This capacity is what is needed - in ourselves, our relationships and our organizations to realise your Work –Life balance.

We Overcome Challenge Faster Together

Working together in a coaching partnership strengthens and develops a personal and leadership capacity. When you take time to examine your beliefs and choices, and are willing to explore what else might be possible, you deepen your ability to lead and thrive. You positively impact all aspects of your life. When you attend to the inner world at play within yourself, you learn to master integral leadership.

The Benefits of Coaching

Coaching is focused and strategic.
Coaching creates space for you to reflect and explore perspectives, priorities and patterns in order to strengthen confidence, create trust and accountability.
Coaching is empowering and builds connection.
When you choose to add coaching, you feel empowered to have the courage to live in greater clarity and integrity.

Coaching Unlocks Possibility & Creates Choice

We each have a inner wisdom and deep knowing residing within us. Curiosity and a desire to seek understanding, within us and with others, create access to that deep knowing. When we can explore our perceived limitations in a safe confidential setting, we can cross thresholds with new capacity and confidence.

Curiosity creates inner awareness of values.
Awareness creates confidence to make a choice.
Choice becomes value based action.

Curiosity. Awareness. Choice. Action.

Definition of Coaching

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as “partnering in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires a person to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

Coaching conversations align with this definition are: listening-centric and question-driven. While always having the clients best interest at heart. The question-driven approach encourages self-discovery and development of skills needed to reach set goals. The coach works with the client as a partner like a co-pilot; the client is the pilot and determines the course. The coach facilitates discovery, insights and progress. Coaches primarily use active listening and powerful questions to guide the client towards self-awareness and solutions. Often the coach holds the client accountable for taking action and making desired progress towards their goals.
