The foundation of my interest in coaching lies in the power of choice - how and why we choose, and how choosing works. Hence the name: optionist
That foundation now supports several pillars that are in various stages of evolution:
I believe that choosing engages our entire being - the physical, the rational, the emotional and the spiritual - and we must often move between a focus on one of these to a more integrated view. I recently decimated optionist.com so I can refocus it to the tune of "What do you really want?".
I am a 6 Advisors coach - thinkerprint.com - which starts with a focus on values-based thinking, and easily integrates an appreciation for emotional and spiritual consequences. Your thinkerprint is evidence you leave on everything and everyone you touch. How do these clues reveal the true YOU to yourself and others?
Recent work with clients has renewed an old interest in Dream Work - rightdreaming.com - which is a powerful way to explore the inner and outer self.
As a hardcore INTJ, I am coming to fully accept my strength as a maker and master of ideas. The domain - ologyology.com - is waiting for me.
I have become tired of promoting to people's pain. A new campaign will invite people to discover and focus on "What is good?".
