INTUITIVE COACHING FOR INDIVIDUALS, GROUPS, AND EXECUTIVES
WHAT IS INTUITIVE COACHING
The word “intuition” comes from the Latin verb “intueri”, meaning to intuit without the need for conscious reasoning.
Most of us only use our mind to make decisions, process situations, etc. In that sense, we are using conscious reasoning to make decisions. But, did you know the heart sends much more information to the brain than the brain sends to the heart? There's a reason for this.
Relying only on the mind can lead to second guessing and overthinking, and being influenced beyond what is right for us. People literally wrap themselves into a pretzel using their minds. STOP OVERTHINKING. Sound familiar?
While Intuitive Coaching uses the fundamentals of traditional coaching, it adds in intuition as an insight and information gathering tool. And that is how we get to the heart of the matter.
Intuitives intentionally build the intuitive muscle (a muscle we all have) so that intuition is the main tool we use to assess and gather information while coaching. Doing so, lessens the chances of overthinking.
So not only is the intuitive coach avoiding their own mind trap, they also guide the client away from over thinking and into their heart wisdom.
The reason? The mind cannot tell what is in alignment and what is not. Remember, the mind relies on external input. But the heart holds our authenticity - which is not influenced by outside resources. Therefore, when client's resource their heart wisdom, they make authentic choices.
The more authentic a person is, the more they live a life that aligns with their personal desires and purpose.
INDIVIDUAL COACHING
Intuitive Coaching starts with the tug pulling on the client's heart. Next, we move beneath the tug, to the root.
In the course of a session, we acknowledge whatever shows up (fear, ego, sadness, etc.). What comes up is simply a message about obstacles and objections that get in the way of the client achieving their goals. As we acknowledge the messages, the client is able to release the hold the memory, feeling, etc. has on them.
Individual Intuitive Coaching sessions can be in person (if local) or via Zoom anywhere in the world.

GROUP COACHING
Group Coaching starts from the same premise as Individual Intuitive Coaching; however, clients draw upon the group’s collective energy while doing individual work.
As individuals, we tend to overlook our internal misalignments due to being so very familiar with them.
In a group, others see what we cannot see. And they often see the very essence of who we are even before we do. The gift of a group session is the collective support and insight shared.
Group Coaching is distinct from Group Counseling (Therapy) in that it is not designed to address mental health issues.
Should there be a time when someone in a Group Coaching session would benefit from counseling, they will be encouraged to find a mental health practitioner.
Additionally, members of the group do not counsel another member of the group as stated in the Group Coaching agreement.

EXECUTIVE COACHING
Define your culture before it defines you.
Companies that take a holistic approach to leadership find team members and managers function at a higher level.
If we expect leaders to grasp the bigger picture of vision, mission, values, strategic planning, execution, and accountability, we must equip them to do so.
So often companies promote to a position but don't promote personal growth for the one being promoted.
Nurturing leaders in relational skills, rather than merely advancing them through promotions based on technical merit creates leaders that others believe in.
Teaching leaders to question from a place of inquiry rather than judgement makes them better able to find the best solutions. This approach invites creativity and root cause finding since no one is holding back out of fear of judgement.
Typical corporate jargon can then be set aside allowing for genuine, curious dialogue. And in that dialogue, root causes are discussed and solutions are truly vetted.
Creating a place where individuals use their gifts and talents and are given opportunities to grow and expand while also being held accountable is another important component of leadership.
Creating an environment where growth, personal integrity, and mutual respect are fostered and kept front and center requires intentionality. Such an approach creates something people believe in and a place where people can thrive.
Executive Coaching first and foremost focuses on the person.
Leading from a place of authenticity renders the executive more grounded and truly confident, devoid of ego, allowing them to lead and guide with clarity and a genuine interest in the situation or individual(s). Leading from this place has the potential to change a team's dynamic and even change an entire company culture.

HOW IS INTUITIVE COACHING DIFFERENT THAN TRADITIONAL COACHING?
Intuitive Coaching starts with the soul as the central guide, the barometer. That place where the external noise does NOT reside.
Clients are guided by their soul's wisdom to connect to their intuition and release blocks that are holding them back from reaching their desires and life purpose.
Traditional Coaching focuses on the mind utilizing mind-focused strategies and tools. This approach often feels natural since from a young age we are taught to use our mind to “think” our way through things. Nothing wrong with this style until the soul comes knocking.
Coaching and Energy Work Disclaimer
The International Coach Federation’s definition of coaching quoted in part is as follows: “Professional Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life. In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action. Coaching accelerates the client’s progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where clients are now and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be in the future. Coaches recognize that results are a matter of the client’s intentions, choices and actions, supported by the coach’s efforts and application of the coaching process.”
