What is Transformational Coaching?Transformational Coaching is an integrated model of coaching based on the fundamental belief that all people possess qualities of greatness. Through partnering, we create a relationship helps reflect your greatness while also providing the structure, support and encouragement to create your self-designed future. Transformational Coaching merges concepts from the fields of personal success and motivation, new sciences, positive psychology and spirituality. It is a holistic approach rooted in being present with "what is", mindfulness, deep inquiry and somatic experiencing and helps align people with their deepest desires and core values. Transformational Coaching increases awareness and helps distinguish between the human personality and one's true nature. Through awareness, we discover and deepen our understanding of habitual patterns and conditional responses; of thought, emotion and behavior. As we go beyond our stories, we experience that which is deeper, broader and more unified with who we are at the core of our being. Our natural talents and gifts shine upon our true purpose and light the path to evolutionary growth. Transformational Coaching requires a level of "presencing" (being in tune with the senses as well as thought) so that we can wake up from the unconscious and/or counter-productive habitual ways of thinking, believing and behaviors we have grown accustomed to. Transformational coaching requires witnessing and even challenging our chronic patterns so that new frontiers can be discovered. Transformational Coaching demands rigorous honesty and effort. When you truly desire freedom, you find the strength to develop new practices; practices that will support you in saying committed to your vision until completion. Transformational Coaching requires "Perfect Vision". This means that the complete and whole seeing of the client is necessary in order to support and "take a stand" for the individual in removing what stands in the way of their greatness. Perfect Vision is the seeing of the person's true essence and unique gifts along with the dreams and visions they want to express and holding them accountable for full expression. This is an important element of coaching. To "be "in one's greatness" requires tremendous courage and persistance and most people return to their comfort zones without support. In Transformational Coaching, people learn tangible skills to clear negative beliefs, patterns and emotions so that they can live fully present in the here and now while becoming empowered to create rich, satisfying lives. Some of these practices include mindfulness training; both internal (somatics) and external, paying attention to how we are languaging our world through conscious languaging and inquiry as well as journalling, and other creative processes which help train the brain to develop new patterns of thinking. I work with people who hunger for deeper levels of fulfillment; people who want to deepen their connection to themselves and others, people who are committed to living in alignment with their heart, values, gifts and dreams. The people I coach have a strong desire and willingness to dig deep within to determine what it takes to make that happen. My job, as coach, is to help people see themselves- their lives, values, gifts, dreams, desires and even their "stories" more fully so they can transform old tales into new beginnings. Being "the best they can be" is a byproduct of balancing the inner and outer aspects of being, having and doing. Many people who come to coaching come because they want more out of lives and of themselves. They know they need to remove the inner barriers, cultivate deeper awareness and move into their highest knowing although they may not know how to do this. My clients know the benefits of a relationship that holds them accountable to the standards they set for themselves. They are committed to change that engenders sustainability. They know that for this to happen, shifts need to occur in how they think, act, and feel tin order to bring them into alignment with who they really are, at the core of their being. In our coaching sessions we look at how your life is currently structured and determine what areas of your life you would like to have more fulfillment. We recognize that each person is already whole, capable and resourceful and utilize a process of inquiry to access the highest truth. We design personal practices that increase awareness of patterns and help to establish new practices. When approaching life from this perspective, people are able to gain greater access to their greatness and what they are truly capable of. Transformational Coaching integrates traditional coaching concepts with spiritual practices, advanced technologies, and creative expression. The combination of these techniques helps facilitate transformation at the deepest levels while providing people with the support needed to live fully balanced and purposeful lives. Are you ready to find the resources–social, emotional, financial, spiritual–to tune inward so that you can move forward, in the direction of your dreams? |
