The journey ahead

Coaching is ultimately about you going on a journey of growth and change.

Some people start that journey with a clear destination in mind - a clear sense of the changes they wish to make. Others with only the vaguest sense that life is not as it should be. Most lie somewhere in-between.

As important as the destination is learning to enjoy the journey itself; to stop and enjoy the view once in a while.

You’re the one driving on this journey, but I’m sat beside you helping you to navigate.

I look forward to the journey ahead.

Dimensions of change - I, WE, IT

I think about change through three different dimensions:

• I - meaning the individual, internal dimension. This is the work focused on you - who you are as a person, what you believe, how you show up, what’s going on internally.
• WE - meaning the relational dimension. This is the work focused on the relational - who you’re with, how you interact, the interpersonal dynamics.
• IT - meaning the organisational. This is the work focused on the organisation and how it operates - strategy, planning, goal setting, execution etc.

Depths of change - BE, DO, HAVE

And I think about different depths:

• HAVE - the outcomes we want.
• DO - the things we do or don’t do that contribute or detract.
• BE - who we strive to be, what the situation calls for us to be, and who we are becoming.

Here are some questions for you to reflect on, mapped across the dimensions and levels:
