Goals don't just happen.
But you can bring yours to life.
WHO WE ARE
Have you ever thought you were living someone else's life, or even just the wrong version of yours? That you wanted to give more energy, more creativity, or just more of you?
I'm Alex. I've been a nurse for over a decade. I've worked all kinds of jobs in my field, but I never felt like I was using the skills I had in a way that made a difference. I wasn't living into my potential - only someone else's beliefs about it. I always searched for something that made sense for me.
And then I discovered this. Coaching.
Helping others take the steps they need to achieve their dreams. If I've learned anything, it's that we owe it to ourselves, our families, our friends, our communities, and our world to learn what makes us soar, no matter what it is. When we do that, we gain the power to lift others with us.
So if you've been sitting with a feeling that something just isn't right, get in touch. Let's figure out if coaching can give you some of the steps you're looking for so you can reach heights you didn't even realize were possible.
WHAT IS WAKING OWL?
Across cultures, owls have long symbolized wisdom and prosperity. Within each of us is an innate wisdom about our authentic lives - who we're meant to be, what we should do, how we need to live. The owl is a reminder of that wisdom and guides us to the best versions of ourselves.
The moon appears every night without fail. Even when it is pale and slim against the expansive darkness of the night sky, it remains, sharing its light until that light can grow. It offers us the reassurance that by showing up completely with what we want, even when it feels impossible against competing demands, we can cultivate more for ourselves.
The concept of waking is all about awakening to what calls our service and energy - our vision for lives and businesses. There is no wrong answer except the one that leads us away from the person or organization we need to be. By waking to our purpose, we can live more solidly in our strength and strip away what blocks our journey forward.
WHAT IS COACHING?
What if it was possible to solve all your problems using exactly the skills and knowledge you already possess?
Coaching is a facilitated approach to solving problems and exploring our deeper desires and intentions. Coaching is about creating a space where you can mentally play with whatever is bothering you or standing in your way. It's about moving around obstacles, instead of sitting with them.
Coaching feels like time and space to consider alternatives. It sounds like questions that awaken greater consciousness and stimulate deeper wisdom. It looks like blending the brain's endless capacity for imagination, emotion, language, and perception to create concrete steps for you to move forward.
If you believe in the possibility of change, then you've already accepted coaching.
OUR VISION & VALUES
VISION
We seek to help individuals, businesses, and organizations inspire themselves to achieve their goals, live as fully as possible, and generate positive change in the world.
Courage
The recognition that in order to live fully into our potential, we must embrace vulnerability and be seen as who we are. We must be authentically ourselves.
Agency
Acknowledging the power we possess to make positive changes in our lives and work over time, and drawing attention to the areas over which we have control.
Nonjudgment
Creating a space within which we can examine our dreams, aspirations, and ambitions without excusing them, diluting them, pushing them away, or labelling them as impossible. Entering into compassionate attention of the parts of us we sometimes keep hidden, silent, or buried.
Trust
Belief in the capacities, skills, and qualities that have led us to our present, and how every experience has the potential to strengthen our access to our own gifts. Trust is the realization that our lives become richer through action, even when the outcome is uncertain.
STRUCTURE OF COACHING
Introduction & Goal Setting
We discuss where you'd like to focus your attention through some simple coaching activities. You should leave with the first step toward your goal.
This session includes answering your questions and discussing what a coaching agreement would look like, particularly the duration, pricing, and a review of the coaching contract.
Mid-Point Check-in
As the coaching agreement continues, energy is maintained by consistently achieving small goals that bring you closer to your vision for your life; the mid-point check-in gives a jolt to your progress by offering perspective compared to where you started, and helps ensure the rest of your actions are aligned with your initial goal.
Contract & Initial Session
The contract outlines the duration of the coaching partnership and what you're committing to yourself when you begin the coaching process.
The initial session marks the beginning of the coaching journey and the height of motivation and energy as you take steps toward achieving what you want.
End-Point Check-in
With so much accomplished, the final few coaching sessions give you the opportunity to reflect on the incredible progress you've achieved and consider what you'd like to tackle next.
