How are you standing in your own way of getting where you need to be?
lights, camera, action
Looking back, I had my first real need for coaching when I was 15. I was presented with the ideal opportunity to be and do my absolute best. And inexplicably for me at the time, I just couldn’t. Of course, back then, coaching as we know it now had not even started developing yet.
In our lives, we strive to be our ‘best’. However, not only do we continuously face our own barriers limiting us, we are constantly coerced by others to be who they want us to be. All for our own good of course. Over time that ‘best’ disappears into a dark black jungle, which we circle, and prowl around in, unsure where we are, where we are going to and where we came from.
Imagine a tiger in the night, knowing its prey is out there but unable to activate its innate senses to pinpoint and go in for the kill.
Coaching offers the opportunity to shine the strongest and brightest searchlight into that dark space, to blind it with light, to take stock, and to focus on the hidden treasures now exposed. To own and use them and then to make them work for us.
For me, focusing on archetypes is an essential part of this. I describe archetypes as the core energies influencing our own unique personality, needs, talents, and values. Shining the coaching spotlight on our own individual set of archetypes helps us focus on the essence of who we are, enabling us to bring balance and activate our real, innate power.
It is almost like having your own inner council of experts support and energise you with the power to be your absolute best.
personal coaching
Personal coaches work with a wide range of individuals or leaders on a host of leadership or often personal issues. Yes, the cliche is true, it can become very lonely at the top when it comes to finding people you can talk to openly and can trust absolutely.
Often, a client prefers to work with his own coach and pay for himself rather than from the corporate coaching pool, simply because of trust and the ability to really set his or her own agenda.
executive coaching
Executive or even sponsored coaching generally occurs when a company retains a professional coach to coach one or several employees individually, for example, when the employer feels there are issues which need to be addressed.
The focus lies on job, work, or leadership-related issues, although logically, a client’s private or personal life always plays some role in the coaching. Most often, coaching occurs in the workplace, and the coach maintains some interface with the employer, even though the coaching content remains completely confidential.
Business coaches work with business professionals on issues that include: leadership, development, increasing employee motivation, organisational strategy, overcoming sales and marketing challenges, effective communication skills, team building and more.
archetype coaching
Know anyone who consistently resorts to complaining, with no real reason, the minute things get tough? Someone who so enjoys playing the victim, that they even do it when things go well? How about friends who frequently sabotage their best laid plans and intentions, themselves?
These are just common examples, among many, of how the energy of archetypes manifests itself in our lives and can disrupt them. However, here’s the deal: identifying and transforming the impact of our archetypes can dramatically strengthen our self-esteem, personal power, behaviour choices, and self-expression.
By honing in on our individual archetypes throughout the coaching process, we are able to initiate transformation at a very deep level. The objective is straightforward: transforming and strengthening each archetype’s positive expression. This process translates into a fundamental shift for the client in a short space of time. The process works for clients who are bold and committed to their own personal and professional growth, who seek deeply satisfying transformation and who are prepared to take the necessary steps to achieve this.
what do you get?
Real Change
Making meaningful change or even transformation in your life takes time, commitment and support. Whether you want to become a better leader of people or simply have a more rewarding relationship, better health, an exciting career, more business success, or more satisfaction and meaning in your life – coaching can provide you with the structure and motivation to really accomplish some amazing things.
Real Choices, Real Balance
Every day, we make choices about whether to do or not do many things. These choices may range from profound to trivial, and each one has an effect that makes our lives more fulfilling or less fulfilling, more balanced or less balanced, which in turn makes our process of living more effective or less effective.
Authentic Leadership Coaching helps you relearn how to make conscious, proactive choices that align with your values and life purpose and empowers you. It also helps you create an effective, balanced and fulfilling life and empowers you to redefine the impact you have on others.
