Excerpt
As coaches, we have the unique opportunity 'to be with' another human being who is engaged in the life-altering work of committing to and realizing his or her desires for a fulfilling life.
We do our best to show up so that our clients can do the same, meeting somewhere in the client's familiar inner world and traveling together to a new territory that yields both remarkable possibilities and realities that, at one time, seems but a distant dream.
This is no small understanding. What equips us to travel this journey with another human? Our passion for life, our natural gifts for helping others, the general and coaching-specific skills we've developed as part of our professional preparation, our own psychological, spiritual development, and intuitive insights are all important contributors.
We also need to consider the context within which coaching takes place. What expansive, yet grounded, frame of reference do we use to help propel clients to experience themselves in entirely new ways and to naturally express themselves from this new foundation in their daily lives?
What if there was a system that provided a robust framework for psychological and spiritual health, that comprehensively and precisely described the nature of the human condition...?
