WHAT IS CO-ACTIVE COACHING? Co-Active
Coaching is a powerful alliance designed to forward and enhance the lifelong process of human learning, effectiveness
and fulfillment.
The practice of Co-Active Coaching is guided by four cornerstones:
The client is naturally creative, resourceful
& whole
Co-Active
Coaching addresses the client's while life
The agenda comes from the client
The coach dances in the moment with the client
These cornerstones
are based on the following core beliefs:
Nothing
is broken or needs fixing
The coach has the questions, the client has the answers
The coaching relationship is focused
in the client getting the results they want
We coach what shows up, rather
than from a rigid plan
Everything that happens is an opportunity
for learning and movement
Professional Coaching (as defined by the International
Coach Federation) is an ongoing professional relationship
that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process
of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.
HOW DOES COACHING WORK?
Coaching accelerates the client's progress by providing greater focus
and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where clients are now and what they are willing to do to get where they
want to be in the future, recognizing that results are a matter of the client's intentions, choices and actions, supported
by the coach's efforts and application of the coaching process.
In each meeting, the client chooses the focus
of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and
moves the client into action.
WHAT INSPIRES ME ABOUT COACHING?
I believe that coaching contributes to a new way of being
on the planet ~ A way where the true expression of each individual, team or organization has a profound ripple effect on the
greater whole.
MY ROLE AS A YOUR COACH
As a coach, my role is to provide a curious
mirror for what matters, an opportunity to arrive in the present moment experience, a space for exploration and intentional
visioning, a catalyst for action and much more...
Energizing the exploration
of new perspectives, deeper alignment with values, and movement towards what you burn to make real in your life & work.
“You are excellent at always bringing it back to me, the client, as I self-direct
my path. I really feel supported as you serve as a partner with me… listening for themes and how they relate back
to my goals. I love your communication style and presence! It is a perfect balance of processing through my current
situation and moving forward with your gentleness and support. Even over the phone, I felt like you were walking through
my situation with me.”
