What about Coaching Details - How does it work?
Well, here are some more of my thoughts on how I coach and what to expect in our relationship....
First and foremost, it's focused on YOU!
- My clients are la cream de la cream. That's French for "very kewl!"
- I get to choose who I coach, so I want to make the most of the relationship
- Coaching is not about me pontificating on all the good things you could be - it's about you finding "you"
- Your best interests are my highest priority - it's your agenda
- I will strive to be sensitive to where you are in the moment, and what support and coaching you need right now
What about my expectations?
- I expect you are ready to dig in and do your best -
why else would you hire a coach?
- If you are not, we will work together to get you there
- That you keep me honest in the relationship - call me on things that do not ring true for you. Investigate things (feelings, thoughts, etc.) closely.
- I ask questions - I do not give advice. There may be a story or two to help get you started in a particular direction of discovery
- The answers come from you. They are not in a book, nor are they on my forehead!
- When I make a request of you, and you accept (or modify it or just say
"no"), I expect you to follow through
- This includes various "thinkum" assignments you agree to tackle - self-discovery exercises, reading, etc. I call them "self-works."
- My style is non-confrontational - I will zero in on things I sense coming from you, and bring them out in the open - like it or not.
- I expect to learn from you too! It is a mutual experience wrapped in close conversations
- I am not a drug. There are no "quick fixes." I am a resource for you to use in the best way possible to achieve your goals
What is Integral Coaching?
- Councilors, consultants, philosophers, coaches, CEO's, nurses, construction specialists, clerks, bus drivers, fishermen - you name it - all have a common struggle. They all live life in many domains simultaneously: health, career, family, relationships, romance, finance, spirituality, etc.
- And we live in different physical domains: home, work, social, cultural, etc.
- And we think about things with a view from many domains: learner, analyst, lover, friend, colleague, spiritualist, relative, stranger, etc.
- They are all interconnected. We can hardly be at home and not be emotional about our job; or be at work and not be distracted by a family situation or event. The domains above - and any you may add - are all connected even if by the smallest thread. Thus they all vibrate within us.
- Integrating oneself in the moment, integrating all our domains to bring about the best in life is a lot like baking. All the components are there, if the mix is just right, the various ingredients are added in the best proportion and the oven heat is balanced, a great result is manifest!
- And finally, it is about presenting one's self in the world community - not just me for the sake of me....you, that is.
Wowzers! Coaching has to do with addressing the whole package in whatever soup we are immersed in - the universe of life. Sounds huge! Well, my life is important to me - yours must be important to you! No one can stay above water forever, swimming by themselves. That's where coaching comes in!
Achieving and exceeding expectations!
Working with you to get what you really want for your life....
