The Way of Transformation

It’s an extraordinary time of transformation of consciousness on our planet. During this time of shift, many people are hearing an inner call to step into a much higher version of who they are. They are “awakening.”
When we awaken it marks the beginning of a transformative period, a time of unraveling, renewal, and potentially rapid growth in understanding who we are and our purpose, value and place in the world.
One hallmark of awakening is a desire to step into a new ‘way of being’ and to align the elements of one’s life to that emerging sense of selfhood.
True transformation is a marked change from the status quo. And the 'way of transformation' invites us and all those we serve to commit to living differently—less from the ego and more from presence, inner being, and our authentic Self.
One thing only will bring us into the potential that is emerging within us – the willingness to be different, to commit to transforming our awareness from one who has perceived our self as limited to hearing the call to embody and express our essential nature.
And that requires beginning the challenging process of discovering what is authentically ours and not merely the influence of others. We bring it to the surface so that we can begin to let go of all that which does not reflect the 'I' at the core of our being, and stand in the authenticity of our personhood.
To do this effectively and impactfully, transformational coaching requires new types of skills and tools as well as a broader capacity for self-awareness and perception. The Deep Coaching approach helps you integrate meaning, purpose, and direction with what wants to emerge from the depth of your being. This is the actualization of your full potential.

As I allow “Who I Am” to emerge, I am full of gratitude for the DCI.

The DCI has given me the confidence to hold healing space for others, the ability to listen to the heart’s intelligence, to be with pain, and to listen for what wants to happen. All this I attribute to this life-changing program.

The Deep Coaching Approach

Deep Coaching teaches you how to create a vibrant coaching space in which people are able to rise into a far more expansive realm of self-awareness.

It is in this space where you and your client move beyond the need to “fix the problem” or “resolve the issue,” and transcendental awareness begins to emerge.

True Transformation

More than everyday growth and change, true transformation is a radical restructuring of our sense of self, and our purpose and place in the world.

It is discovering and realizing a dimension within yourself that transcends ego consciousness.

Deep Coaching demonstrates that  transcendental experiences are possible within a coaching context.

Psychology, Healing & Spirituality

Anyone aspiring to work in the field of human transformation should have an education that is a mixture of psychology, healing and spirituality.

Deep Coaching provides this blend because we recognize that, in essence, transformation is a healing process involving body, mind, and spirit working together to create an optimal life experience.

Ontological Learning

This means we are grounded in 'being'. The Deep Coaching approach focuses on the potentials of self-knowing that arise out of a deep sense of connectedness with being.

When the coaching focus is on energizing 'shifts in being', people begin to expand into new dimensions of personal experience and knowing.

The non-denominational nature of Deep Coaching and the space it creates to embrace the unfolding of new possibilities has led to profound growth for me.

I am finding my way to living in light, harmony and joy, and being a loving presence in the world.

The Deep Coaching Intensive

A transformational coach training program and personal growth journey.

Rather than more coaching models, systems and processes, the DCI is designed to be experiential in nature.

We work with transformative coaching practices that invite people to engage with life at a deeper level, explore their limiting ego-based self-identity, and foster lasting shifts toward new and expansive ways of being.

The Deep Coaching Intensive imparts three types of knowledge...

Conceptual Knowledge

The DCI provides a conceptual framework for understanding the process or 'journey' of human transformation, and how coaches position themselves to enable this revolutionary path of personal growth.
Image

Practical Knowledge

Transformative practices and coaching methods that teach participants how to elevate the power of their personal presence, and become coaches capable of creating spaces which invite people to drop below the surface and tap into what is happening at a core level of mind and being.

Self Knowledge

The most important dimension of all, self-knowing — Who am I? What does my life and work stand for? Where am I being inauthentic? How do I express my authentic self into the world?

These and many more questions are explored in this program.

The DCI has been the most engaging and meaningful experience of coaching I have ever experienced.

I am creating revitalized relationships and seeing grand opportunities unfold before me.

Part 2: Mastery
(12 Weeks)

The second part enhances participant's understanding of Deep Coaching through continuing practice and experiential learning.

Coaching demonstrations, observation, mentoring and feedback are all included to provide direction and support so that participants gain confidence and a level of mastery.

The DCI curriculum is based on Leon VanderPol's book A Shift in Being: The Art & Practices of Deep Transformational Coaching.

This book is required reading for the program and can be purchased directly from the publisher or Amazon (print and ebook versions available).

It was truly AMAZING!

I’m so grateful to have been part of this course!

I learnt that to coach others transformationally, I must know what it is to transform myself. Then I can be authentic in my support.
