“Life is understood backwards; but … it must be lived forward.”

 ~ Soren Kierkegaard

 


"Coaching, you see, is not telling people what to do; it's giving them a chance to examine what they are doing in the light of their intention."

~ James Flaherty, Coaching: Evoking Excellence in Others


"Coaching is unlocking a person's potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.  We are more like an acorn, which contains within it all the potential to be a magnificent oak tree. We need nourishment, encouragement and the light to reach towards, but the oaktreeness is already within."

~ John Whitmore, Coaching for Performance


"Coaching is the facilitation of learning and development with the purpose of improving performance and enhancing effective action, goal achievement and personal satisfaction. It invariably involves growth and change, whether that is in perspective, attitude and behaviour."

~ Peter Bluckert, The Foundations of a Psychological Approach to Executive Coaching. 


"Ontological Coaching is about coaching to way of being, as a means of producing major shifts in perception and behaviour."

~ Alan Sieler, Coaching to the Human Soul


 

Waht's Yuor Plobrem?

 

Aer you stlil trnyig to mkae ssene of waht yuo've jsut raed? Have you figured out the PROBLEM? What conclusions have you made from what you have seen?

 

I trust that you're good at making sense of what you see.  That's an inherent part of BEING HUMAN. In a way, we are all meaning-making-machines.  We don't just experience the world. We create meanings from our experiences, and then live in the meanings we have created. Let me show you what I mean by that.    

 

Consider this for a moment:

"The meaning you give to a problem

will shape how life shows up for you." 

Turning Problems Into Possibilities

 

Are you having a 'problem' in your life right now?  What does 'problem' mean to you? How does it make you feel? Is it something you're happy to keep or can't wait to get rid of? What do you usually do when faced with a problem?

 

Some people say: "It's all in the mind." Do you agree with that or you think that's B*LL$h!T? How would you FEEL differently when you SEE problems as opportunities for growth, messages from the Universe saying to you: "If it ain't working, it's probably time for you to change some part of how you relate to others" or LIFE calling out loud to you to live differently, courageously and authentically?

 

Albert Einstein once said:

"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."

Whether you are struggling to cope with career challenges, experiencing a 'breakdown' in a major relationship, feeling stuck in an undesirable state, lacking the courage to pursue your dreams freely, seeking a sense of purpose or direction in life, aspiring to achieve a breakthrough in your performance at work, etc,. let me invite you to experience the 'Magic' of Coaching that can empower you to approach your problem from a new level of consciousness that Einstein meant. 

 

What is Coaching?

 

The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines Professional Coaching as follows:

Professional Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.

James Flaherty, author of one of the most profound literature I've come across on coaching sums it up well with the title of his book:

COACHING: Evoking Excellence in Others

At The Coaching Academy, we simplified it further into three words:

Unleash Your Greatness!

We believe every human being is born with a potential for greatness.  By 'greatness' we are referring to the ability to make a positive contribution to the world through one's unique abilities.  Through coaching, we seek to accelerate and deepen your process of learning, self-discovery and heightening of self-awareness, enabling you to live more meaningfully by being who you are, who you can be and who you want to be.

 

Coaching takes place through what we call Generative Conversations - a series of dialog between YOU and an experienced coach, conducted with a specific intention to generate one or more of the following outcomes:

  • Objective assessment of your current reality

  • Clarity of your intentions and values, i.e. what you truly want and what really matters to you

  • Identification of barriers that are preventing you from acting freely and powerfully

  • Access to internal resources (that you already possess) you need for fulfilling your intentions

  • New perspectives that allow you to SEE, observe and experience YOUR LIFE differently

  • New insights on what drives your thinking and behaving

  • New possibilities and opportunities that are previously not available to you

  • New actions that can possibly produce extraordinary results in your personal and professional life

 

As a member of International Coach Federation (ICF), I am committed to preserve the integrity of the coaching profession by observing our Professional Code of Ethics and delivering coaching in a form that honours our clients as the expert of their lives and believes that every client is creative, resourceful and whole. Specifically, the confidentiality of clients' information shall be respected at all times, and I will not release their names or other client-identifying information, except with their permission or as required by law.

 

My Approach to Life Coaching

 

I first began coaching in 2003, and have since, worked with individuals from all walks of life, including CEO’s, senior executives, managers, business professionals, management consultants, financial advisors, bankers, entrepreneurs, artists, teachers, parents, students and young children. My approach to coaching is influenced largely by a profound interest in Ontology (the study of being), training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Neuro-Semantics and Timeline, and inspiration drawn from the works of many whom I consider thought leaders in their respective fields, some of which include James Flaherty, Tim Gallwey, Michael Hall, Bob Bodenhamer, John Grinder, Richard Bandler, Alan Sieler, Richard Bach, Anthony Robbins, Robert Fritz, Peter Senge, Shakti Gawain, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Peter Block, Martin Seligman, Thomas Leonard, Mihaly Csikszenmihaly, Steven Covey, etc,.

 

As a Professional Coach, my primarily role is to be a catalyst for your personal development and growth; as a respectful partner who will skillfully guide, encourage and support you through a transformational journey that brings you from where you are now to where you want to be in the future.   You may expect to experience some new learning that will produce deep and sustainable change, enabling you to be the creative force of joy, meanings or fulfillment, and generate a higher level of success in your personal and/or professional life.
