Our Philosophy
Coaching Changes Lives embraces the profound power of coaching to catalyze seismic shifts in thinking, igniting decisive action and transformative growth. We believe in the ripple effect of empowered minds leading to empowered lives.
Our Co-Creative Approach
The co-creative philosophy stands as a compelling choice for those seeking a coaching approach that is not just eclectic but also deeply reflective and tailored to the unique journey of each individual. Unlike methods that rigidly adhere to a predetermined model, the co-creative approach is fluid, dynamic, and responsive to the nuances of each coaching relationship.
Excogitative Conversations
At the heart of the co-creative philosophy is the principle of excogitation—encouraging deep thinking and exploration. Coaching conversations underpinned by this philosophy are characterized by curiosity, inquiry, and reflection. Coaches and clients engage in a thought-provoking dialogue that challenges assumptions, explores possibilities, and fosters creative solutions. This reflective process not only leads to greater self-awareness and insight for the client but also promotes a more profound and transformative coaching experience.
Eclectic Nature
Co-creative coaching is inherently eclectic, drawing from a broad spectrum of disciplines, philosophies, and methodologies. This diversity ensures that coaching conversations are not confined to a single perspective or approach. Instead, they are enriched by a multitude of insights, tools, and techniques that can be adapted to suit the specific needs, goals, and contexts of each client. This flexibility allows for a more personalized and effective coaching experience, where strategies are not imposed but are organically developed in partnership with the client.
Overview of the Complete MCCC Experience
Mastery in Co-Creative Coaching Conversations delves into the art and science of engaging in dialogues that are truly collaborative, where leaders and coaches work alongside their clients to co-create results, discover insights, forge solutions, and catalyze growth. This nuanced approach to coaching goes beyond traditional directive methods, emphasizing a partnership where both coach and client contribute equally to the conversation's depth and direction. Such mastery is about creating an environment where genuine understanding and innovative solutions flourish through shared exploration, mutual respect and honour.
In today's complex and dynamic landscape, this level of skill in co-creative conversations is especially crucial for leaders and coaches. It equips them to more effectively navigate the myriad challenges and opportunities they face, fostering a culture of open dialogue, mutual trust, and collective problem-solving. For organizations and individuals alike, the ability to engage in such enriching conversations can lead to more adaptive teams, stronger relationships, and a more inclusive approach to leadership and development. Mastering co-creative coaching conversations is, at its core, about enhancing connection and understanding, laying the groundwork for sustainable growth and transformative change in a professional setting.
The Mastery in Co-Creative Coaching Conversations (MCCC) program is a comprehensive journey designed to develop and refine the skills of aspiring and experienced coaches through three progressively advanced levels of mastery. Each level is thoughtfully crafted to build upon the last, ensuring a deep and nuanced understanding of co-creative coaching principles and practices.
“Mastery in Co-Creative Conversations is not about having all the answers; it's about fostering a dialogue where wisdom can emerge from every voice at the table. It's a symphony of insights, a dance of ideas, and the shared journey of discovery that reveals the masterpiece within each interaction.”
— Jedidiah Alex Koh, MCC
