Core Skills we Develop
I have a saying: “You may doubt anyone or anything in this world—but you can never doubt yourself.” The moment self-doubt enters, your inner authority collapses—and clarity vanishes.
Coaching cannot guide, motivate, or improve anything until self-sovereignty is restored. A coach does not direct outcomes or supply answers. A coach ensures that the individual occupies their rightful place—fully present, self-directed, and unwilling to negotiate or enter a debate with fear and self-doubt at the level of personal power and authority.
The measure of success here is not comfort, popularity, approval, or validation. It is stability under pressure, commitment without permission, and the capacity to surrender to your natural instincts and intuition.
"Coaching ends not when answers are found, but when inner authority is no longer outsourced."
CREATIVITY (Individual as creator of his own experience.)
PERSONAL POWER (The “letting go” of needing an acceptable and often outdated “self-image” to identify with, amounts to a new freedom.
PRESENCE (the ability to develop alertness and listen from new found sources of attention, focus and awareness.)
PERFORMANCE (The curriculum is based in part on distinguishing performance as a repertoire of skills and hidden talents.)
PUBLICNESS (Being public reveals the human being. The public realm as “open” realm for self-discovery, learning and self-mastery.)
EXPERIENCE (the experiential realm is where the quality of our knowing is immediate and based on intuition and intelligence, rather than judgment and conditioned perspectives).

This method deals with context as a "medium" within which the contents of our lives (our experiences) occur. Medium means the "environment". As an example, a fish operates inside water but is not aware of water as the context of its life. Water to fish, air to bird and man to himself.
By revealing the "quality" of the medium within which we operate, we can reorganize limiting beliefs, thoughts patterns and old habits.
All processes presented are creative in nature, thoroughly distinguished as separate from the psychological, therapeutic or emotional realms. All realms carry expectations and organize our behavior.
The Power of Suggestions & Insights
Creating "openings for action" through the power of suggestion. Similar to a tennis coach directing your focus to one aspect of the game, previously ignored, can change the way you play tennis from one moment to the next.
We cannot practice what we haven't distinguished. For instance, every decision we make is a new direction. Choices then become the pivotal factors that determine the quality of our experiences.
