What is the basic philosophy of coaching?

There are many models to describe the coaching philosophy, however the Who-What-How model proves to be the most common and fundamental way of outlining this partnership.

A coach helps you explore who you are, what you really
want and how to attain it. This is achieved as the coach
holds you in a field of curious exploration through skillful questioning, listening, reflecting, clarification and
suggestions.

Depending on your learning style and needs, a coach will
partner with you to customize a framework in areas such
as 'homework', accountability, feedback methods and
structure. A coach helps you stay on track until your
goals are achieved.

Although the why question may come up in the beginning
of a coaching partnership, this question falls more into the
field of therapy if it becomes the ongoing focus of
discussions. A coach, rather than focusing on why things
came to be the way they are, will reframe the discussions
to help you look more closely at your current tendencies,
skills, needs, values, what has not been working and how
this can be changed.

Consulting on the other hand will focus more on just the
what and how of a more impersonal problem (technical,
financial etc.) without requiring much information about
who the individual or entity is beyond the problem being addressed. For example a small business needing to
address the way employees set up data input strategies
will not require information about the employees' personal interests, talents, relationships, health or emotional
needs beyond the scope of the problem at hand.

Doro's Style of Coaching

Doro's style of coaching is based on change from the
inside out as well as from the outside in. Both approaches
are required in tandem to make lasting and sustainable
change.

Doro's unique coaching method is
The VISION Process^©

Visualize, imagine and clearly define what you want

Inquire, investigate and research your options

Strategize a well defined plan of action

Implement your plan one step at a time

Obtain your goal!

Nurture yourself and celebrate your accomplishment!

 

Changing your life takes focus and support

The VISION Process^© from beginning to end takes time, focus, inspiration and clear intention. We all get lost in our busy days and often our best intentions are forgotten or put off. Professional coaching is the solution to this common scenario. It keeps you focused, on track and accountable until you attain your goal.

What is Transpersonal Coaching and how is it
used for stress reduction?

Transpersonal coaching considers the concept of
transpersonal states of awareness.

"The common denominator of this, otherwise rich
and ramified group of phenomena, is the feeling of
the individual that his consciousness expanded beyond the usual ego boundaries and the limitations of time and space." ~Stanislav Grof

Transpersonal coaching aims to help a client make changes
from the inside out as well as from the outside in. Both
focuses are required in tandem to make true and lasting
change. Transpersonal coaching involves a simple knowledge
of the four brain wave patterns and their associated negative
and positive chemical/ hormonal influences on the body
and mind, and the emotional / spiritual experiences that accompany each pattern. We all have the capacity to
access these patterns consciously through practices of meditation, mindfulness, breathing, biofeedback and many
other techniques of self nurturing and thereby alter our life experience and the way people respond to us.

What to Expect

Life coaching is entirely customized to your needs and
wishes. However, here is an example of what you can
expect:

~ Discover what you want in your career and your life
while also acknowledging that what you ultimately want
is simply happiness

~ Learn to manage your state of mind, health and sense of well-being by discovering and utilizing a method that works for you, i.e.. Meditation, biofeedback, audio technology or energy work.

~ Brainstorm, create, attain your goals, build, explore, adventure, play and then...

~ Let go and relax
