Our self-leadership coaching approach is based on the 6 C's of consciousness, compassion, curiosity, creativity, courage, and connection.
Getting conscious
Have you ever paused long enough to ask: Am I truly awake to my life?
Most of us go through our lives unconscious, habituated, and unaware of what's going on, how it's getting in our way, and how it's affecting the way we show up in our lives and our careers.
The first step in our coaching journey is getting conscious. When we can name what's going on, we can start to manage it.
Getting curious
Curiosity isn’t just for children—it’s a radical act of leadership.
Then we get curious. Curious about everything that is holding you back.
As human beings, we are biologically wired to seek comfort and avoid discomfort. Our brains are constantly scanning for threats—emotional, physical, or psychological—and when discomfort arises, we default to retreating into familiar patterns. This is a survival mechanism rooted in the limbic system, which prioritises safety over exploration. Curiosity requires us to override this instinct. It invites us to lean into uncertainty, to ask questions that may not have easy answers, and to explore truths that may challenge our current reality.
Our mission is to help you get perspective, to shine a light on things that are there but that you can't see, and to ask you questions that might rattle your thinking, that will definitely shift you out of your comfort zone, and that may result in you saying, "I didn't know that I could think about it this way".
Getting compassionate
What would you say to your past self if you could?
It takes self-compassion to move forward, to shift away from an inner critic voice that has been spinning you a lifelong version of the truth to keep you safe in a set of coping strategies that keep you small.
It takes self-compassion to quieten your inner critic and kick-start the process of redefining what's true for you.
Getting creative
Creativity is not merely a means of making art; it is a profound act of self-rediscovery.
Once you are ready to redefine your truth, we engage creativity. We brainstorm and think laterally about how you could do things differently and how you could be different.
Our job is to create a safe space for you to truly think for yourself, to design big leaps, to imagine your future, and to design your actions. We work on bold, heartfelt, and generative gift-giving goals - goals that are intrinsically motivating - and then we map out the steps towards your goals using 3-horizon thinking.
Getting courageous
Action requires courage.
Courage is not always loud or dramatic. Sometimes, it’s the quiet decision to honour your truth, even when it’s inconvenient. It’s the strength to say no to what no longer serves you, and the vulnerability to say yes to what your heart longs for.
We access your courage using various techniques, including multiple brain integration techniques, connecting with your future self, and strengthening your connection to your goals.
We work on accessing your courage to be kind rather than nice, to work on being respected rather than liked, to be directly challenging while being deeply caring, and to have the courage to be brutally honest with yourself.
Getting connected
Connection is not just a feeling—it’s a whole-self practice.
Our clients finish their coaching journey experiencing a deeper sense of connection.
Connection to themselves through greater self-awareness.
Connection to others because they have strengthened their communication, their self-advocacy, their positioning, and their ability to be kind rather than nice.
Connection to their purpose.
Connection to their competence.
Connection to their career.
To truly connect, we must first be conscious. To connect meaningfully, we must also be curious. At the heart of connection is compassion. Courage is what allows us to show up authentically in connection. Creativity brings aliveness to connection.
