Taking Coaching Further

Have you ever experienced a boss that was unaware of their negative impact on their employees?  Have you ever heard of a company that was harming the environment, yet thriving financially?  Have you ever had a friend that was great when things were great, but when the going got tough turned reactive or were always playing the victim? 

I am willing to bet most of us have come across or directly experienced these scenarios. All of the above scenarios are a result of people leading undeveloped lives.  
​
Today we are living in times where people age chronologically, yet don’t always work towards reaching their potential emotionally, relationally, socially or spiritually. When I was growing up I noticed we have a lot of olders, but very very few elders to guide us. ​
Currently, there are many avenues for self-development. 


In many wisdom, religious and spiritual traditions there are pathways for someone to face themselves, look at their life and choose to mature into their best self.  

Outside of these wisdom traditions, we have family and friendship life.  Some families and/or friends set goals together, hold each other accountable and grow together. 

Other avenues are sports and even hobbies. Having someone mentor us through our growth to reach a greater goal in a sport or a hobby helps us refine our potential.  

We also have books from experts sharing their research, ideas and experiences. Authors sharing their wisdom can help us understand life in new ways and reach new landmarks.

In a perfect world, we would all grow up with all of these avenues for development surrounding us like a rich garden of fruits to choose from. Yet, many of us grow up without any of these… unless we seek them out.

Let’s look at another side now.

Have you ever worked with a boss that was emotionally respectful, inspiring and supportive? Have you ever seen a company that looked at any area they would impact and choose to do good with their services in all areas, not just one? Have you ever experienced a friend that was great when things were great and even stronger in the face of adversity?

I’m willing to bet these experiences are rarer. They are all examples of people who have invested in self-development.  

When we self-develop we:
  • Become great at communication and emotional intelligence
  • Turn hard situations into opportunities for everyone’s benefit 
  • Extend forgiveness and empathy
  • Understand multiple angles of issues at hand
  • Respond to challenges through the empowered lens of our values


When we are not self-developed we default to:
  • Being reactive and fearful when challenge hits
  • Minimizing, pushing against or running away from obstacles
  • Making hard situations harder
  • Getting stuck in self-deception and judgment zones
  • Doing life the hardest way possible and spinning our wheels.

You can see the benefits are night and day. 

So why don’t more of us self-develop?  

I’m not going to pretend to know the answer to this question, because I believe the answer is different for everyone. What I can say is that “to develop, or not to develop” is but a choice.  

When we step into coaching we are choosing to self-develop and actualize our potential.  Truly powerful self-development happens in relationship, where someone can mirror us, challenge us, “get” us and help us see farther than we could on our own. 

In integrative coaching we take coaching even further.  We invite the client into self-awareness. With self-awareness we can catch and eliminate self-deception.  This is the birthplace of new wisdom. The lens of integrative intelligence then takes any new wisdom and/or self-understanding and bridges it into all areas of life, leading to true fulfillment. New wisdom then increases capacity to hold and sustain long-term successes. Integrative coaching truly yields heart warming, mind empowering and spirit lifting rewards.
