have always been drawn to stories. As a child story time felt like a warm blanket of love, being held, embraced, a sharing time of intimate language weaving a tapestry of images dancing upon the stage of my young imagination. Through story the light of wisdoms understanding began to dawn and illuminate my curious and playful mind. I would seek to know, and to understand. I would dive into the story and swim, going around and underneath, desiring to find a hidden message, a less obvious plot, and unfolding story that I intuitively already knew and could feel. A script written, embedded like a jewel, radiant with it’s promise.  Beckoning me with words I could faintly hear, and almost remember. Like a song heard over a distant hill calling me forward into life. Image and story leading me like a treasure map laden with mystery and adventure.

eople and organizations have often focused on objectives, and task related goals, and often move in and out of groups to accomplish those tasks. Business is then reduced to results driven agenda’s. There is little time to reflect on the inner life, or to integrate personal values and goals into daily work.  Creating a coaching model into personal and management development strategy paves the way to higher levels of competence. Dialogue, inquiry and continuous learning raises the awareness and competence, and well being of participants. Coaching supports the art of transforming personal vision into action. It is a valuable way to assist individuals and teams to take responsibility for managing their own growth and renewal. This process begins with a look at ourselves as we begin to open up to learn and unlearn. Often we reach change points in our life that are threshold experiences, and coaching holds this place with a guide to manage the transition of change.

Quality coaching focuses and builds on our strengths in such a way that our work not only becomes a learning experience, but also provides value, insight and meaning to our lives. Who are you? What is your vision? What motivates you? Where do you find your joy?

s we move into more global complex structures a different language is arising.  Creativity, innovation and the spirit of intuition and improvisation are new competencies for our times. It is time to create shared meaning in the workplace, hold vision, and bring inspiration and imagination to the daily life at work.

An integrative process of moving from vision statement to genuine shared vision, facilitates a process of communication that builds living communications that celebrate the vision as a living reality.  Through my years of experience within the corporate culture, I believe that initiative’s fail, unless based on trust and truth. For true change efforts to be given life- they must be based on a vision of “becoming” that leads to actual experience through all facets of an organization. Honest action must deliver the message through a variety of communication messages.
