Learn to be who you were meant to be. Our coaching philosophy is simple:

Understanding yourself = relating to the world with choice, strength and clarity

Coaching?

Coaching is one of the fastest growing new branches of the service industry. With roots in career counseling, executive education and human potential, coaching is a forward reaching development tool that has proven effective for transforming performance, strengthening leadership and opening possibilities for people across the human spectrum. Expect results.

Our Coaching Methods

Our coaching methodology is rooted in Somatics and the conviction that understanding how we relate to the world as individuals is the essential first step to strengthening internal and external leadership. Developing your ability to take decisive, integrated action will make you a stronger, more flexible, compassionate person and leader.

Somatics is the study of the Self (what many traditions call soul, spirit, the individual or your essence). Your Self is what you are referring to when you refer to yourself, when you say “I am …”. Rather than a cosmic new age notion, your Self is simply a collection of the five main tools humans use to connect with the world: intellect, emotions, the physical body, intuition and spirituality. You have a historical experience of dealing with the world through these tools that has opened some doors and closed others. Our coaching process will examine how you relate to yourself, others and the environment and train you interact in the way that catalyzes your very best and channels it into what you care about most.

Bottom Line

Coaching is not therapy or counseling. Your coach is neither cheerleader or guide. There is no attempt to find what is broken and fix you, or show you universal truths. What you will find is a trained, committed ally and resource who will chart the route with you providing assessment, encouragement and focus. The success of the coaching process depends on the rigorous collaboration between coach and client to uncover, discover and optimize the best in us both.
