WHAT IS ZEN COACHING
The starting point of Zen Coaching lies in our natural wish to be fully who we are, and to be genuine, authentic and sincere with ourselves and others. As a coaching approach it unites the focus on reaching outer goals – a key characteristic of traditional coaching – with a deeper inner focus than what is normally found within coaching.
The approach is built upon basic mindfulness principles, or conscious presence. It is also based on an exploration of limiting beliefs, and on our true inner resources. The main method is the practice of inquiry – an inner, focused exploration based on specific questions and a supporting listening practice.
Zen Coaching helps us in connecting more deeply with ourselves and our true source of power, wisdom and creativity. It does this by supporting us in discovering the power of relaxing into the present, and in experiencing the ease and fulfillment of living in effortless flow.
We discover how, more and more, we can respond with wisdom rather than react on automatic pilot, even in challenging situations.
