Your New Way of Leading

Posted on January 08, 2013 by Staffan Rydin, One of Thousands of Leadership Coaches on Noomii.

- Are you consistently operating at peak performance?
- Are you highly energized and confident?
- Do you inspire others and draw out their best?
- Do you truly enjoy your life?

If you answered no to any of these questions, it may be time to enlist an Integral Master Coach™.

Integral Coaching® provides a comprehensive holistic method and approach to bringing about change and personal growth. The change can be a new way of being at work and in life or transformative work that brings about radical development. It includes both Executive Coaching and Life Coaching.

As your coach I work collaboratively with you to look at what you would specifically like to change or achieve. We call this over-arching objective a “Coaching Topic.” Through exploration of this Topic, we’ll uncover how you look and move within your life right now. This process usually results in some fundamental ‘a-ha’ moments, as the client realizes, “No wonder this is happening!”

I will propose a new way forward that is both challenging and inspiring. I’ll work for you by creating specific practices and exercises to build the “muscles” or capacities for achieving the sustainable change and development you are looking for. These will be part of your unique and individual path to success in your coaching topic. We’ll meet regularly to continue to build your personal capacities, evaluate the coaching program to ensure your topic objectives are being accomplished, and re-calibrate as required. As your coach, I’ll be there to provide structure, challenge and encourage you, and to co-create and celebrate with you throughout. We are in this process together; we just have different roles.

The Integral Coaching® solution for sustainable change and transformation is to build the capacities necessary to accomplish your over-arching developmental objective. This method is focused on working with you as a whole human being to ensure meaningful change is sustained. It works much like building new muscles. Once we know where you want to go and what you currently have embodied, we’ll understand which muscles to develop and which ones we can leverage.

In repeated practice cycles those muscles will be stretched and exerted beyond their comfort zone/habitual range followed by rest/reflection such that they grow strong enough to create lasting success in the coaching program. You might think of this as a form of cross-training that leverage mental, emotional, physical and spiritual “muscles”. As you change and grow, you’ll also notice that the results ripple into virtually all areas of your life. For the client, these often come as very positive and unexpected surprises.

We will work in way that will loosen the grip of your past ways or habits that do not support you in your Topic while we simultaneously create new ways of moving forward. In actively working with both the ‘past-based’ way of being and the ‘future-based’ desired outcomes unprecedented results are attained in very short periods of time.

Integral Coaching® programs are customized for each client based on who you are and what you wish to accomplish. The length of a coaching program varies, however for change to stick, typically a minimum of three months and an average of about 20-30 min. of practice “work” per day is necessary (often to some extent replacing other, for the moment, less important activities).
