Imagine your client as an actor stepping onto the stage, preparing to deliver the performance of their life—their most authentic, fulfilled self. But there's no script. No pre-determined storyline. They're creating their narrative in real time, discovering truth, purpose, and next steps as they go.
And you? You’re not the director. You’re the lighting designer—the catalyst behind the scenes, making sure the right moments shine. You illuminate possibilities, reveal hidden truths, and set the stage for transformation.
The five spotlights of Co-Active Coaching—Listening, Intuition, Curiosity, Forward and Deepen, and Self-Management—aren’t just tools; they are contexts that shape how transformation unfolds. You don’t control the story—you create the conditions for the client to step into their own light.
