Seeking to grow? Precise tools are valuable.

Why choose an integral coach?

Over the past 100 years, psychologists from places such as Harvard University have been researching how we grow psychologically and the patterns that guide behaviour. Well-proven research from this field has been brought together in what many regard as the leading psychological and spiritual framework available in the world today known as integral theory. Integral coaches trained by Integral Coaching Canada use this framework for deep assessment and then apply it in powerful and practical ways to stimulate development through coaching, leading to faster and more sustained results. We combine this with spiral dynamics assessment and Uzazu embodied intelligence techniques to form Evolutionary Purpose Work (EPW).  

The journey begins with you choosing your topic.

At the start of your coaching programme we will discuss the specific area of your life to focus on. This generates a topic that will be something that you are currently finding a challenge or that you feel can be achieved and yet has remained just out of reach. Your topic should have real meaning for you and be something that is occurring regularly in your day-to-day life.  

The topic helps to highlight the mental structure you are currently using to approach tasks at a scale that is palpable and real. The coaching programme will seek bring this model more and more into awareness so that you gain choice over its behaviour and the opportunity to expand capacity.

Following on from the coaching container, when you turn around to meet other areas of your life, the extra capacity developed through the coaching is still available. The topic provides necessary focus but the benefits are much broader and longer-term than just in the topic area itself.

 

Evolutionary Purpose Work Combines Integral Coaching with Spiral Dynamics Assessment and Uzazu Embodied Intelligence.

If you decide to proceed, you will receive EPW following the structure, proven methods and techniques from Integral Coaching Canada – the gold standard of coaching training organisations. The process usually includes 9 to 10 sessions to complete the following:

Chemistry call– a conversation to meet each other and talk about how integral coaching works and how it may serve your development. This usually includes a discussion to help get focussed upon a particular topic area.

The intake process– we explore your topic from as many perspectives as possible to build a comprehensive picture of your current approach. This includes talking through your full spiral dynamics psychometric assessment (examples of these reports are available to download on the spiral dynamics page on this website).

Offer – the information from your intake will be offered back to you in the form of a deep description of two models. One model will be your current way model and one will be your new way to grow into.

Uzazu embodiment sessions – working with your metaphors and your body to discover postures that give rapid insights to patterns of current and new ways of being.

Three cycles of development – these sessions offer simple practices to build the developmental muscles you need to grow from your current way to your new way. We will review and discuss challenges that arise and see where the next appropriate step is. Each session is individually crafted, with a review and your next practice written up and emailed to you the following day.

Completion – we bring the coaching to a close with an overall review and appreciation of your journey. It also includes suggestions for what may be supportive for you following on from your coaching container as Integral Coaching often has a momentum that goes beyond the sessions themselves.

There is a commitment you will need to make to get to where you want to be in your topic area. You will need to commit to 5 to 10 minutes of your time every day during the coaching journey to complete the practices agreed in your sessions. You will also need to make brief notes which we will discuss in your next session. This time is in addition to your coaching sessions.  

So that you have a recording of each session to keep, review and revisit, our sessions will take place on Zoom. This also means you don’t have to travel and can be relaxed and comfortable in your own space. Zoom is completely free to use – all you need is reasonable internet connection.

I also record your sessions at my end and for your security, my drive is password protected. At the end of your coaching journey, I will ask you if there are any files or recordings that you are missing. I will send any missing recordings and then for security I will delete all of your coaching sessions from my records.

If you would like to arrange your free chemistry call please email either Yvonne or Jonathan with a couple of times that would work for you and your relevant time zone.

I experienced Jonathan delivering presentations to introduce integral theory as well as a private integral coach. In both settings I was impressed by his broad knowledge of the material, his skills to deeply listen to questions and find appropriate, related and personalised answers, all of which testify to how much he has made integral theory his own multi dimensional spiritual path of learning and growing and serving. He is courageous, fun, skilled and to the point. The way he learned from and grew with his own life journey make him a unique teacher. I would choose and recommend Jonathan any day to anyone.
