The Integral Framework

The Integral FrameworkAn Integral Coaching approach involves more than horizontal growth–acquiring new skills and behaviors — it also involves vertical growth. Vertical growth involves achieving higher stages of development in multiple types of intelligence. IQ is only one of several types of intelligence.

This is why I refer to myself as a “Radical Developmentalist,” a “Revolutionary Evolutionary.” We are all made to grow and evolve throughout the whole span of our lives. Studies have shown that we can accelerate the growth process by aligning with the evolutionary impulse as it manifests in each of us.

The coaching I offer does just that; it accelerates growth. This coaching approach is not just about helping clients earn more money or adding skills and strategies to their personal and professional toolboxes. To be a better business owner, to be a better leader, or to be a better manager, involves becoming a better person in a holistic sense. Change involves changing our way of being. It leads to being more fully alive. A better life, better relationships, better work and better organizations.

My Integral Coaching approach uses an Integral Map (developed by Ken Wilber, see below) which provides a framework for an ongoing, evolving methodology intended to be the most comprehensive approach to human development. This Map provides a pathway for increasing the number of perspectives we can take, opening us up to more possibilities for seeing the world and getting the results we want. If you want to not only grow your life or your business but also find more meaning, find more passion in your life and your work, then I would enjoy facilitating and supporting you on this journey.
