"The Co-Active Model balances self-awareness [...] and courageous action to create an environment where individuals can be deeply fulfilled, connected to others and successful in what matters most." - coactive.com
I graduated from the The Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) 104 hour coaching training program and became a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) in 2013. Coaching is an emerging and evolving field so there are often questions about what coaching is or is not. Answers may vary somewhat from coach to coach, so I've outlined the following to clarify how I view my role as a coach. I'm also happy to answer further questions during a free 30 minute sample session.
What coaching with Phoebe is:
It is for people willing and ready to take bold action to get what they are longing for in life
It is a supportive environment where clients can expect to be truly heard, acknowledged, and championed
It is a safe space to share the private details of life with the assurance of confidentiality
It is a place where strong and complex emotions may show up (which will be handled with care)
It is intended to challenge the status quo and will require a beginner's mind and an experimental spirit
It is designed around the client's goals, values, and agenda
What coaching with Phoebe is not:
It does not hold the education and expertise of the coach above the innate wisdom of the client
It is not about the coach telling the client what to do
It is not about the coach explaining why clients think or behave in a certain way
It is not an analysis of the past
It is not about staying in your comfort zone
It is not just about the sessions themselves ... it's the brave action clients take *outside* of the sessions that is most transformative
As a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, I acknowledge and agree to honor my ethical and legal obligations to my coaching clients and sponsors, colleagues, and to the public at large. I pledge to comply with the ICF Code of Ethics, and to practice these standards with those whom I coach.
