This is an overview of what informs and inspires our work. It is an ever-growing list…
- Integral Development Coaching™
A rigorous approach to coaching that attends to the individual as an independent human being and in relationship to others and the world. The aim is to help grow the individual in his/her entirety of competencies and qualities: intellectual, emotional, relational, somatic and spiritual. Integral Development Coaching™ is marked by a dynamic partnership between coach and client, combining inquiry, reflection, practice and action.
Ultimately, Integral Development Coaching™ aims to develop a client’s capacity to continually embrace and integrate new ways of responding to his/her own needs, to his/her environment and to others.
- Neuroscience and Leadership
The field of neuroscience has exploded over the last decennia and recent findings give an intriguing perspective about the functions, limitations and capacities of our brains. Our coaching practice is informed by the application of recent findings in social and cognitive neuroscience and how these are being applied to leadership.
Topics that are of specific interest are: change management, performance management, self-regulation, self awareness, breaking bias.
The Neuroscience of Leadership – Breakthroughs in brain research explain how to make organizational transformation succeed.
- Mindfulness
Most of our tailored coaching programmes include mindfulness practices, particularly when addressing topics such as developing greater awareness about personal impact, managing the Inner Critic, becoming better at responding rather than reacting, not taking things personally and cultivating presence from a place of being present.
Our interventions are derived from the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn and the Search Inside Yourself approach as implemented by Google.
- Deep Democracy and Processwork
As per the work of Drs. Amy and Arnold Mindell. Process oriented psychology is a multicultural, multi-level, awareness practice for individuals and organisations in all states of consciousness. Also called Processwork, it is an evolving, trans-disciplinary approach supporting individuals, teams and groups to discover themselves.
World Work is Processwork applied to small and large groups, based on the notion that for organisations, communities, and nations to succeed today and survive tomorrow, they must be deeply democratic – that is, everyone and every feeling must be represented. Deep democracy is the core principle and practice of worldwork.
- Theory U and U.Lab
Based on MIT Professor Otto Scharmer’s work in his book, developed with his team at MIT and the Presenting Institute.
Theory U proposes that the quality of the results that we create in any kind of social system is a function of the quality of awareness, attention, or consciousness that the participants in the system operate from.
Since it emerged around 2006, Theory U has come to be understood in three primary ways: first as a framework; second, as a method for leading profound change; and third, as a way of being – connecting to the more authentic higher aspects of our self.
