Glimpse Session
Integral Coaching is an approach to change and personal growth that includes working with metaphor, reflection, and embodiment practices.
To fully engage Integral Coaching requires a minimum of 6 sessions. However, this single Glimpse Session offers a small taste of the methodology to inform your process of working towards a specific goal/desire.
The aim is to explore a new way of approaching and relating to our goal. This can help to realize new results that were previously unattainable, and to move through life in a different way.
Integral Coaching can be applied to any life situation, for example, career changes, changing habits, parenting, improving health, navigating relationships, becoming a more effective leader, managing stress, clarifying life purpose, and more.
Before the session, consider what you are most wanting. What are you longing to resolve, to feel, to experience, etc.
What type of situation can this coaching help with?
Examples of coaching topics, starting with the phrase “To be better able to…”
…receive and relate to my finances in a grounded way.
…cultivate a powerful, healthy body in order to live my life to the fullest and be of service to others.
…integrate love into my personal and professional identity.
…reshape my relationship with my responsibilities to enjoy a more balanced life.
…have healthy boundaries and allow clients to discover their learning.
…be trusting, open, and vulnerable with those closest to me.
…magnetize new clients and earn money doing what I love.
…balance challenge with enjoyment in parenting.
…feel confident when speaking and interacting with people.
This type of coaching is not just about setting goals and mustering up enough willpower to take the steps required to meet the goals. Integral Coaching has a two-fold focus:
To build awareness of how you are currently approaching your chosen coaching topic, up until now.
To build new capacities (muscles) in order to develop new ways of seeing and acting, which then open up a fresh path towards realizing your chosen goal/coaching topic.
This Glimpse Session invites you to dip your toe into the first area focus: awareness building. If you choose to proceed with the full package of five additional sessions, we will deepen that awareness, and explore the second focus, building new capacities.
How does it work?
It is ideal if you have previously attempted to reach your desired goal, but not yet been successful. You may sense an urgency and readiness to experience change, move through obstacles, develop self-awareness, and feel more fulfilled.
While you will need to have a sense of your goal/desire, the specific statement can be honed together.
What is the coach doing?
The coach shows up with deep presence to practice embodied listening, ask powerful questions, and offer reflections to support your insight and potential. She will also offer metaphorical “ways of being” to enhance awareness of how you have been relating to your topic/goal.
A “current way of being” metaphor will be explored, representing how you’ve approached the topic up to now, which has served you well, but is also holding you back.
Then a “new way of being” metaphor will be explored, to support new perspectives and actions as you continue to work towards the goal.
