What is a Certified Integral Coach(R)?

Who stands to gain from coaching?

I work with business owners and leaders of all kinds to help them grow their businesses by developing themselves.  In other words, I offer business and leadership development through self development.  As you will find below, since the coaching approach I use is integral or comprehensive, it involves more than sitting around and looking for insights into what has been holding you back.  That would be a partial approach, not a comprehensive one like Integral Life and Business Coaching offers.  Integral Life and Business Coaching includes the whole person - inside and out - in context of your particular coaching topic, and results in much more effective results than a typical coaching approach might produce.

Clients come to me for a variety of reasons, including:

Are you working in a dissatisfying job and looking for more meaningful, balanced ways to approach your days?

Are you considering a new career but need to be certain that it's the best thing for you at the time?

Have you taken the leap into small business ownership but find yourself struggling?  You feel strongly that this is what you belong doing, but haven't established the level of success necessary to create a sustainable business.

Or perhaps you are doing well with your small business and are ready to move to the next level of sustainability; however, you are already too busy to invest the energy necessary to get to the next level!

Each of these types of clients is in a place of transition in his or her life.  By taking a comprehensive approach and working with resources available to you, we will work to envision, plan, and step into a customized coaching program designed specifically for you to move from where you are to where you want to be.  

"But why would we need coaching in the first place?"

Integral Life and Business Coaching allows you to widen your perspective and your options.  It also teaches you new skills.  Working with a coach in a confidential and trusting environment, you can begin to make progress in areas you had previously been unsuccessful.  But why would we need coaching in the first place?

We all have a way we show up in the world.  A way which shapes what we see, what we do, and how we check our progress.  And since this "way" defines us, it is very difficult for see its strengths or how it may even be holding us back from achieving what we most want out of life.  So what does Integral Life and Business Coaching have to offer us?

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you have imagined." -- Henry David Thoreau

Integral Life and Business Coaching offers a method for you to take a step back from your current way of approaching things so that you can identify not only what is working well, but also things that are holding you back from what you most want out of life.  It then goes one step further and provides a custom-designed coaching program to help you build "muscles" (competencies) you can then use to start stepping from your current way to a new way of being - one which allows you to move toward meaningful change in your life - change you deeply desired but had been unable to create for yourself.  And the coach is there to support you and bring out our own resourcefulness every step of the way - resourcefulness you didn't realize you had before working with a coach.

"We have a tendency to get in our own way from time to time"

We have a tendency to get in our own way from time to time - to hold ourselves back from achieving our potential.  This happens for a variety of reasons. Regardless of the reason, however, I believe we can overcome these limitations, especially if we create the right support system around addressing them. 

My goal is to help you realize your full potential. I offer Integral Life and Business Coaching programs, workshops, informational articles and seminars on various subjects. In addition to being a Life and Business Coach, I am also a bit of a humorist, so although I take coaching seriously, we will also find ways to hold things more lightly throughout the process.

Working with a life coach - and especially an Integral Life and Business Coach - is a powerful way to support yourself to achieve your goals and realize your dreams.  Why?  Because Integral Life and Business Coaching takes a comprehensive approach to addressing your needs.

Some of the potential benefits of coaching include:

• Increased ability to handle stress;
• Stronger connection to your sense of purpose and renewed energy in making your biggest contribution;
• Increased sales (as a result of the capacities and competencies you develop through coaching);
• Greater understanding of your gifts and strengths, plus practices to help you achieve sustainable results in your topic;
• Increased clarity and focus;
• Improved leadership agility;
• Better sense of direction and purpose;
• Increased self confidence;
• More of a hopeful, positive attitude;
• Better work-life balance;
• Increased sense of emotional equanimity, even amidst challenging circumstances;
• And much more!

Another potential benefit is that as a result of your coaching program, your newly-improved self will often have a positive impact on others around you, such that by improving yourself, you allow for others around you to change as well.

What is a "FREE 30-minute coaching conversation"?

The purpose of the free coaching conversation (offered by phone or Skype) is to give you a better idea of what Integral Life and Business Coaching is, to see if coaching is right for you, and to assure that you and I would work well together in a coaching environment.  This is also a time to ask any questions you might have about the process.  There is no obligation, just an honest discussion of where you are, where you would like to be, and how Integral Life and Business Coaching can support you throughout the process.
