Coaching Journey
Professio – Coaching Journey
Our Coaching is designed to assist people in overcoming the limitations inherent in their current “knowing” and thus recognise possibilities and realize their potential.
Failing to overcome these limitations means that people inevitably miss realising some 90% of their potential – without even knowing it – and it this journey of discovery that is central to our coaching approach.
Our approach to this coaching journey is defined by our unique 5 Wells and Pathways To Resonance frameworks.
COACHING IS A PERSONALISED LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY
Traditional developmental/leadership methodologies sit on the philosophy that to be human is to be a blank slate or an empty vessel that needs something poured into it in order for it to become. Professio sits at the opposite end of that spectrum by holding to the philosophy that to be human is to intrinsically have the capacity for a deep knowing, that when engaged with, produces increased awareness, clarity, courage and the accuracy essential to enhanced performance and fulfilment.
As such coaching represents a fundamentally different approach to development. It is outcome focused, other centred, and holistically motivated. It’s primary tools are not telling or instruction but discerning questioning and active listening aimed at designing a future and helping you recover much of what you know but have likely forgotten you know.
COACHING IS NOT
- Training – Coaching isn’t telling; it’s listening
- Consulting – Coaching isn’t directing; it’s discovering
- Mentoring – Coaching doesn’t rely on the coach’s knowledge; it relies on the capability and ownership of the coachee and the coaches skills drawing that out an putting it to work
- Counselling – Coaching isn’t past-centred – it’s future-centred (designing futures)
- Spiritual Direction – coaching isn’t just meditative, it’s action focused
MEANING
- Training follows a predetermined agenda – Coaching follows the agenda determined by the person being coached (targets the point of relevance and builds from there).
- Consulting gives solutions and answers – Coaching focuses on the coachee’s discovery of solutions and the relationship to implementation.
Counselling focuses on bringing healing to wounds of the past – Coaching looks at current realities and goals and discovers a plan of action to move forward. - Mentoring focuses on passing along wisdom, knowledge and experience – Coaching presupposes ability of the coachee and builds on his/her wisdom.
- Spiritual direction focuses on the inner journey – Coaching holds the meditative and the call to an action together.
