The Philosophy of Compassionate Clarity Coaching™

Here’s where I’m different. Most, if not all, coaching paradigms that I’ve experienced or read about have been quite linear and dominant in the left brain, essentially plowing forward via the conscious mind i.e. what we already know.

I don’t actually believe that works. Our intuitive wisdom, our “knowing” of the way forward, comes through our unconscious, the symbolic language spoken by our right brain. It is, as John O’Donohue says, the oblique and indirect side of us. But, if we can learn how to hear it, to learn the rhythm of its language, so much of our true self, our true identity, our accurate path forward, will open in flow before us.

Therefore, an essential part of Compassionate Clarity Coaching is creating life practices that open space within us so that this very real part of us that wants to bubble up can gently come to the light of discovery.

One of my jobs as coach is to listen with you to you and to help in the interpretation process of understanding your oblique, intuitive side.

From these clues, we fashion your own way forward, picking action steps one by one. Each and every life is a spectacular treasure hunt!
