OUR APPROACH TO COACHING

We use developmental rather than conventional performance coaching to create deep transformational improvements within you

Our 3 Domains Model

The foundation of our coaching approach is an integrated 3 Domains Model that creates a holistic system of your world and reflects the interconnectedness of these different domains.

Requisite Development

Self-Leadership (Being) Understanding identity (complexity of who I am)

Dealing with obstacles to growth (self – awareness, contextual awareness, stress, confidence)

My work (Doing)
Integration of multiple roles I play in different contexts and stakeholders (leading teams, social, organizational, societal)

My ecosystems (Impacting)
Leading my organization through change and transformation. Interaction of organization with industry and society.

When working with you, we use a dialectical approach to help you think holistically and systemically, resolve tensions between conflicting ideas and perspectives, and find innovative solutions to the most pressing issues you are confronted with.

We help you understand alignments and misalignments between you, your work teams, and your organizational environment. By helping you understand the interaction between these domains you can better plan how to create synergy which then leads to superior performance and personal growth.
