This guide is an antidote to the widespread poor practice in today’s coaching industry, where individuals with limited self-awareness and little regard for their own projections will direct, advise, rescue and ‘fix’ clients in the name of coaching.
A soulful approach for coaches, mentors, therapists and all members of the helping professions to realise their own full potential and that of their clients, Find Your True Northe is for those who recognise the power of a holistic approach to growth and transformation. It is clear about the need for the practitioner to walk their talk and undertake the necessary self-development to most powerfully serve their clients.
You will find the guidance and wisdom within these pages to journey your own transformation as you facilitate powerful experiences for your clients. You will be taken step by step through a unique process, learning to coach at a high level of awareness which enables outstanding results for your clients. The coaching models and process offered here will enable you to develop the competencies of:
Creating connection
Contracting
Deep and intuitive listening
Creative and insightful questioning
Use of self and offering feedback
Facilitation of the process (including timings, environments, holding the client’s agenda)
The True Northe Way is about developing you personally as the coach so that you can work more deeply with your clients. As you become more aware of the power of coaching and conscious communication, there will be times when your clients need you to hold the space to allow them to go deeper. The ability to do that requires that you have explored deeply within yourself.
