Getting Started
You may not know it yet. But if you have been feeling stuck, uninspired or found yourself searching for some sort of meaning, your developmental journey has already begun. What you are feeling is the first stage of a process that will elevate your levels of awareness, motivation and purpose. Every day millions of people suppress the recurrent thoughts and emotions that are holding them back. Making the choice to acknowledge your feelings and work on them might be the smartest decision you ever make. Are you willing to make that decision?
What if you don’t have these feelings? Perhaps you’re feeling like everything is relatively together in your world. That’s okay. You may be at a different stage of the journey of development than others. Integral coaching can still help you to become an even more confident, inspiring and positive leader. It can still help you to see, make sense of and conquer your challenges. In fact one of the reasons Integral Meta Theory is so effective is because it’s adaptive to each of us as individuals - no matter what position you are in. Human development is a continuous journey - if you choose it to be.
Chemistry Meeting
A chemistry meeting is a vital, confidential 60-minute exploration allowing us to deeply understand each other. It's an opportunity to explore your focus areas, aspirations, challenges and the transformation you seek. This meeting allows us to assess our compatibility, ensuring you feel comfortable working with us and your topic is appropriate for us to work on with you. Together, we'll explore your goals, understand why they matter to you, and what they mean in the context of your personal and professional life. Held in a safe environment, this preliminary discussion sets the groundwork for an enriching, transformative coaching journey.
Your first session
The first session can be daunting for some. It’s hard to know what to expect. Please don’t worry. Our job is to listen and guide you in a calm and non-judgemental environment. Your first session is about having a conversation about where you are, how you feel and where you want to be. We will use integral theory to build an accurate picture of your sense of self and identify the obstacles that may be consciously or subconsciously holding you back in the pursuit of your ambitions. Then we will decide which part of your development to focus on first.
The cycle of development
Integral development is a journey. The aim is to zero-in on one of your individual challenges, build developmental goals and work on them in sequence. We will find a way to break through the patterns or barriers that are limiting you, then help you to express your thoughts and feelings in a more progressive way - integrating a new perspective that transcends the old. Then we will repeat the process with the next challenge. Our service is designed to deliver precisely for you, your situation and your goals. No two programmes are exactly the same. Your development is unique and so is the journey we will go on together. It’s about you.
Where do the sessions take place and how long do they last?
Integral8’s development sessions take place every three-four weeks and last around 60 minutes. Sessions take place over video call.
Between sessions you will work on practices we co-create and agree. These exercises will increase your awareness of your self-perception and help to nurture your development. As you can imagine the programme length differs for each client depending on their challenges and ambitions. But it normally takes around six months to step change the way you approach your challenges - though significant clarity on the way forward can be made with just a single session.
There’s no pass or fail, no merit or distinction. The pace of progress is directly related to the work you put in. And we guide you so that your efforts are focused in the areas where they will have the greatest impact.
The barometer of the programme’s success is your own personal growth and development.
Development Strategy Session
If you are unsure of what you want or need, for you or your people, then please reach out and book a development strategy session. It’s an opportunity for us to mutually explore the potential coaching relationship, determine areas of focus, and ascertain whether our approach aligns with your unique needs and goals.
It is a valuable session if you are not sure where to start, or what type of coaching programme will be the best fit for you or your team. Relax into a safe conversation and let us help you uncover what will work best in your situation.
This call allows you to experience our approach first-hand, to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in our potential collaboration. It's an essential part of the process, where we get to understand one another and decide if we're the right fit. After all, your comfort and trust are crucial in forging a successful coaching relationship.
We invite you to take this vital first step towards transformative development. Let's explore together the potential that lies within you and set the course for your journey to greater success and inner peace.
