With Integrative Intelligence® you learn
the art and science
behind elevating human potential.
Integrative Intelligence® combines each of the human intelligences into one powerful coaching framework so that you elevate the potential of the whole-person.
Integrative Intelligence® defined:
Did you know that goldfish grows to the size of its fish bowl?
Human beings are similar. We grow and expand, or stay put, according to the size of our mindsets.
Humans are capable of the greatest innovations, or we are capable of the biggest destructions.
Human beings also have the capacity to develop all of our capacities. We can expand our gifts and abilities. We can see beyond the now and understand the how. We can live through vision and develop our skills with precision.
To elevate human potential we can develop all domains of human capacity.
The primary centers of human intelligence directly correlate to the ways in which humans reach their potential.

Integrative Intelligence® is the awareness of, engagement of and expansion of all of the domains of our human potential. This also includes the awareness of how we reach human potential by not engaging one domain, but through the wisdom of integrating domains to potentiate our fuller capacity.
For example, if I am tired of seeing leaders that lack integrity and I desire to be a leader with integrity, I will need to engage my motivational, emotional, cognitive and relational domains. I can also learn how my somatic and energetic domains support this aim further.
As we become integratively intelligent beings, we see how all domains can show up in support of best practices, better outcomes and gives us direct access to new possibilities.
Each domains we have the capacity to potentiate may also include forms of intelligence we are not yet aware of. My hope is that we discover new human potentials as we reach new integrational peaks that Integrative Intelligence® invites us to step into.
Integrative Intelligence® includes the nine primary centers of human development. These centers all encapsulate an intelligence, that when developed, naturally walk us into our human potential.
These include:
Each domain represents an aspect of human life that is an inception point for elevating full human potential. Each domain is an aspect of our own humanity and a capacity we can choose to develop. The domains speak to our capacity to embody multiple intelligences and balance our centers of intelligence and wisdom.
Multiple Intelligences:
Howard Gardner’s research in the brains capacity for multiple intelligences was a major contribution to our understanding of human potential. Gardner was the first person to identify up to 8 primary intelligences held within the brain. His work is worth noting as we approach human potential in the cognitive domain and how that intelligence can inform other domains of intelligence.
These intelligences are:
Centers of Intelligence:
The centers of intelligence are a contribution of the work and research conducted by the Enneagram Institute. The centers represent the primary ways we operate.
These are also referred to our Centers of Wisdom. The theory the Enneagram offers us to consider is that we all default to living through one primary center of intelligence, or our central way of knowing.
I am including these here for those of you that include the Enneagram in integrative coaching and are wondering how they relate to the fuller spectrum of engaging the full spectrum of human intelligences.
The centers the Enneagram includes are found in the concept of mind, body and spirit.
Renee Siegel, founder of www.URPurePotential.com explains each center:
“We learn about ourselves and the world around us through observing, noticing, listening, understanding, and taking action. Not only do we receive this information through thinking (that is, from our heads) but also through our feelings (our heart) and by doing (through our body). In Enneagram language, we refer to those—the body, heart, and head—as the centers of intelligence. Each center provides us with valuable information.
“Your body center offers you sensate information through the five senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. Your heart center offers you emotional intelligence including being relational, engaged, and connected to one another. Your head center allows you to make meaning of the information coming from all the centers, including language, memory, imagination, planning, and more. You mentally map and strategize through the use of this center.”
"You have all three centers, but if you are like most people, you default to or rely heavily on just one or two of these centers. It may be that one or two of your centers are more developed and are therefore more easily accessible than the others. However, when you have access to all three centers and you are operating in an integrated way, your life runs more smoothly and is balanced.”
The wisdom here is to invite integration of mind, body and spirit.

These include:
- Cognitive (mind / intellectual agility)
- Somatic (body awareness / feedback)
- Spiritual (heart / the human spirit)
- Relational (self / other / phenomenon)
- Social (community / global)
- Emotional (feeling / response)
- Motivational (purpose / legacy / callings)
- Energetic (chosen attitude)
- Integrational (self-awareness / mastery)

These intelligences are:
- Linguistical: self-expression
- Logical: quantifying concepts/formulas
- Spatial: visualizing surroundings
- Kinesthetic: coordinating mind/body
- Musical: discerning pitch, tone, sound
- Interpersonal: understanding others
- Intrapersonal: self-understanding
- Naturalist: reading/understanding nature
