Holistic Coaching

"Coaching" can mean many things to many people. Here I'll use ICF's definition: 

"Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership." 

It's often helping clients to identify self-limiting beliefs and patterns, so they can reach their goals and overcome challenges.

"Holistic" is two-fold. It means starting with the premise that your client is whole and resourceful, exactly as they are. And that no part of their lives functions in isolation. Work affects home, affects finances, affects health, etc. 

So, when you work with a holistic coach on a particular topic, it's likely to draw in other topics. 

Make sense?

Coaching comes in many shapes and sizes, including 1-1 and group coaching.

1-1 is great if you want to work towards specific goals, or if you're ready to make some meaningful changes in your life (even if you aren't sure what those are).

Group coaching can be done in many different ways. No matter how it's done, it offers the benefits of witnessing others and being witnessed, finding commonality with others and discovering how different we all can be, and learning new perspectives.

Affirmations (i.e. Say Nice Things to Yourself) - simply defined as the practice of positive thinking and self-empowerment

Most of us have negative self-talk on repeat in our heads, whether we're aware of it or not. Using affirmations regularly can help your rewire your brain towards positive thinking and shift your world view. 

It doesn't happen overnight. It takes consistency to make new pathways. And it takes belief.
