Coaching
You can soar like an eagle!
But first you have to get out of the nest. The day comes for all eaglets
when they are pushed out of the nest…nudged forward to realize their
potential, spread their wings and fly.
Imagine the freedom and exhilaration when they do!
"We can learn to soar only in direct proportion to our determination to
rise above the doubt and transcend the limitations." - David McNally
Coaching may be the nudge you need to transcend the limitations.
Coaching Works! It's a powerful partnership that can be the catalyst for
significant change within individuals, relationships and teams.

Personal Life Coaching:

How well are the parts of your life coming together? When you consider
the "whole" of your life and all of its overlapping aspects, what does
the picture look like to you? Where is it rich and vibrant and where
does it seem somewhat flat or dim?
What's getting in the way of the color?
Coaching is a trusting, confidential and powerful partnership designed
to help you be more of who you want to be in all areas of your life.
The coaching process may include:
- Rediscovering yourself: What's important to you?
What are your natural gifts and strengths?
What's inside the gift of you?
- Recognizing where you are stuck and facilitating movement
- Articulating your dreams and goals
- Identifying strategies and plans
- Courageously creating change
- Finding fulfillment, even in life's current circumstances
You choose the direction of discovery. During each meeting, the client
brings the topic of choice. The coach listens intently, poses powerful
questions and shares observations in order to deepen the client's
learning and forward action.
You have the answers. Coaching helps you remove the barriers in order to
access them.
Contact me for a
complimentary sample coaching session to experience the process.

Relationship Systems Coaching:
Life consists of relationships: work relationships, business
partnerships, siblings, parent-child relationships, spouses, romantic
relationships, and so on.
Just as the varying aspects in our individual lives overlap and are
connected as parts of the whole, we are constantly in relationship and
our lives overlap with others, connecting us to part of a bigger system.
Relationship Systems Coaching focuses on the bigger system of the
relationship. It helps take the emphasis away from what the individuals
within the relationship are or aren't doing to and for each other, and
places the focus on what is trying to happen within the relationship
itself.
As a Relationship Systems Coach, the interaction occurs with the
individuals in the relationship; however, the relationship is held as
the client. The coach's job is to unveil and reveal what's taking place
within the system of the relationship rather than within the
individuals.
This minimizes defensiveness and blame and enrolls the individuals as
agents of change for the relationship.
Relationship Systems Coaching gives individuals tools to use to design
their alliance and discover who they want to be in relationship, in
order to minimize conflicts, overcome disputes or simply take a good
relationship to great.

complimentary consultation on whether Relationship Systems Coaching is
right for you.

Team Coaching (Organization Systems Coaching):
"We are created, not for isolation, but for relationships. At heart, we
are not a thousand points of separated light, but rather, part of a
larger brightness. Within organizations, caring and committed relationships are not a
luxury. They are a necessity." - D. Johnson and F. Johnson
Team Coaching through an Organization Systems approach focuses on the
team as a whole rather than on the individuals.
A great team is symbolic of a great relationship, so the principles of
relationship coaching as described above apply to teams as well. It is
just inclusive of a larger system.
Although the coaching interaction occurs with ALL of the individuals on
the team collectively, the system of the team relationship is held as
the client.
Again, the coach's job is to unveil and reveal what's taking place
within the system of the relationship rather than within the
individuals.
This minimizes defensiveness and blame and enrolls the individuals as
agents of change for the relationship, being the team.
To use the terms from the quote above, when a system is coached into
focusing on the "larger brightness" and not the "points of separated
light", they engage in relationship and not isolation, and the team
members do not look for fault; they look for how they can use their
strengths and weaknesses to create an outstanding team environment.
There is an increase in the individuals' capacity to make conscious and
intentional decisions about how to "be" in the team and gain new
insights and tools to use to create positive and productive action.
How "bright" is your team? Is it time to coach the system?
Contact Kristina to create a coaching plan for your team.
