MY APPROACH TO coachinG

Here’s the latest iteration of the principles that fuel my coaching approach. Hopefully gives a sense of what it is and how it differs from more common approaches.

  1. Equality - the coach and client are equals in the process of exploration

  2. Wholeness - clients are inherently whole, coaching is about rediscovering what already is,

  3. Insight - any progress comes from insight, rather than adding something new.

  4. Subtraction - transformation occurs through letting go of beliefs and ideas and an openness to what may arise

  5. Resistance - resistance is a resource to be explored and it can spark deeper insights

  6. Self-less - coaching happens naturally and spontaneously. the process naturally unfolds

  7. Acceptance - no judgements are held as they further create separation

  8. Awareness - the coach embodies a calm awareness that naturally guides the process

  9. Pathless - a spontaneous fluid dance arises with no goals or intentions

  10. Paradox - we playfully embrace paradox helping lead to direct experiential understanding

If anything in this resonates or you have any question, I'd love to connect and hear from you.

I do not subscribe to any particular method or approach, my coaching style is the accumulation of years of learning and searching in the fields of philosophy, sports psychology, mindfulness, modern neuroscience, and a variety of ancient spiritual traditions.

While I have experience with many frameworks, methods, and tools I rely on a principle-based approach. The principles (listed below) come first as they drive the intent behind my work. Any specific practices arise based on need rather than as a default.

What matters most is serving the unique needs of each person without the need to force a particular method, belief system or set of practices on them. It turns out that most people I work with don’t need new information, they are looking for ways to tap into a deeper sense of who they are and the inner resources that fuel insight and lasting change.

When we work together you can expect a relaxed, supportive, and friendly thinking partner that will help you uncover the qualities that have been eluding you along with the freedom and support to achieve the things most important to you.
