What is Compass Coaching?
“Why do we worship the straight lines, the most direct route, nonstop, leaving the past far behind? A circle is both diameter and circumference, compass and horizon, holding center and edge together, calling us to the heart and the wild borders.” ~Christine Valters Paintner
The compass invites us to work from our center, with all of the resources coaching helps us discover, so that we can find renewed strength for current directions and courage to take new and uncommon paths when they present themselves.
Chip’s coach approach with clients is to create a safe space where clients explore to their passions, resources, creativity, authenticity, and power to discover the next direction that will make them alive in their leadership, work, and life.
What is Coaching?
The International Coach Federation defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.” When clients explore and align who they are with what they want to do, they engage in life and work with energy, courage, and focus. They discover their next direction, chart the path in that direction, and take the journey into what is next.
