Transform your Personal and Professional Potential through Coaching
Shine your light though an enlightened coaching process that will transform your mental, emotional, and interpersonal assets.
ICF-Certified Coaching provides a non-judgmental, thought-provoking, creative and inspiring space to explore, transform and maximize your personal and professional potential.
Alignment, Clarity and Transformation
Neuro-Shine Technology™ Coaching blends the wisdom of the heart with the power of the mind to transform limiting beliefs and emotions into powerful insights and self-defined actionable goals. Coaching provides a creative, non-judgmental space in which to explore both personal and professional goals and aspirations, with an emphasis on gaining awareness and insight into your patterns, and a willingness to change through an organic and transformative process.
Alignment: The first step in growing self-awareness and self-compassion is to become familiar with and encounter your various parts, through a curious and compassionate exploration of each part that arises to gain dominance in you. For example, by encountering an angry part, and holding space to express and gain insight into the nature of the anger, you offer a new experience of this anger, through both honoring its wisdom and releasing its power and hold over you. Similarly, through encounter with a sad, lost, or grieving part, you can allow these emotions to flow through you, while bringing the light of conscious awareness and compassionate acceptance, thereby transforming this grief and sadness into compassion and enlightened acceptance. This energy then not only fills you with greater clarity and enthusiasm towards life, but also enables you to meet others with this same compassionate acceptance.
Clarity: Clarity arises through the encounter and release of your various emotions, simultaneously freeing up space in your mind to perceive reality more clearly. By acknowledging your strengths and your liabilities, you gain a greater understanding and acceptance of all parts of you, and are able to move forward with your choices, decisions and actions with increased clarity and conviction. You also begin to notice patterns that cycle through your mind and heart, and can make more conscious choices about which patterns to embrace and which patterns to let go. This frees your energy to move more directly towards your consciously chosen goals and actions, clarifying your intention in your words and behaviors, and fostering a sense of integration, clarity and purpose in your life.
Transformation: Transformation of your mind and heart, and thereby of your actions and intentions, leads to transformation within both your personal and professional activities, goals and results. Transformation is an organic process of change which occurs when you align yourself and all your parts consciously, balancing each part’s needs and motivations, while maintaining your clarity and purpose in your goals, intentions and actions. Transformative action is the natural result of true, authentic alignment with yourself, and aligning your clarity and intentions with your desired actions and outcomes.
