The Kyosei Coaching Philosophy

We believe that every individual is naturally creative, resourceful and whole. Nothing is broken or needs fixing. Because we believe that you have the ability, passion and drive to succeed in anything you choose to be, do and have in your life, our role is primarily to provide the questions that will help you to unlock your own wisdom, discover your strengths, and create strategies for action that will fit best with who you are. That said, we will also provide direct feedback, resources, ideas and perspectives based on both our experiences and observations that will help you to transform limited perspectives and continually reach beyond the limits of what you thought was possible.

We believe that a fundamental skill of learning to thrive in your life and work is the ability to step out of crisis mode, look at the big picture, and understand the web of interrelated systems and causes that create the results you experience in your life and work. The Life-Work Integrityâ„¢ Coaching program is designed to develop these fundamental skills and knowledge. Our coaching will always encourage you to focus on long-term, lasting results, rather than simply alleviating current sources of discomfort.

We believe that the client is ultimately in charge of guiding the coaching relationship. We will provide suggestions and options as to what might work best and where to begin, but you must be willing to take charge, make choices and ask for what you want. Trust yourself that whatever is up for you as you approach your coaching session each week, is exactly the right place to start, regardless of whether or not it seems like it is "on track"

Your passions are the source of direction, clarity, and energy along the journey. We will continuously bring you back to your four passions to help you develop the ability to align them with all areas of your life and work.

We believe that your success in achieving the results you want in terms of doing, giving, having, receiving and achieving is founded in your ability to identify and align with your desired state of "being" in each and every moment of your life and work. This approach may look very different from traditional approaches of goal setting, action and activity. It requires a willingness to cultivate the ability to be still, seek awareness, face the truth about self and others, and focus as much on energizing your vision as on taking action.

We believe that learning to thrive in a way that is sustainable requires each of us to consider how our actions and decisions impact everyone and everything around us both in the short and long term. Your actions send out ripples that always come back to you in kind. Positive actions return positive ripples of results. Actions that cause harm to others will ultimately send back ripples that are detrimental to your ability to thrive. We make every effort in our coaching to support you in considering the implications of your actions and decisions so that your success may generate continued vitality and prosperity not only for yourself, but for others as well.
