Co-Active Coaching is as much a way of being as it is a coaching approach. Uniquely compared to other coaching approaches it teaches you to maintain an equal focus on who you are being as much as what you are doing as you work towards your goals.
What do we mean by that?
Being involves the clarity of your intention, your beliefs, vision, calling, motivation, and inspiration. It requires being truly present both with yourself and others, and noticing the rich unspoken information "between the lines"; the space created by the relationships we have with others.
Doing includes techniques, processes, and actions.
Once you are consciously aware of and choosing who you are being, your doing has much greater impact. At CTI we enable you to harness the power that comes from integrating the two.
Here is a simple example which illustrates the powerful impact that who you are "being" can have on your ability to produce results from your "doing".
A manager can say to an employee "let's sit down and analyse what went wrong in this project." Those words can have very different impact, depending on who the manager is "being".
How are you likely to react if the intention of the manager is one of faultfinding, finger pointing, and punishment? And how would you react if the intention of the manager was one of discovering, developing, and empowering?
