​An Evolving Approach

 

Birgit’s approach is rooted in the principles of integral coaching® – an approach that enables you to become more present, less reactive, connect better with yourself and others, have a longer-term view (and therefore more patience), and have more courage and much less attachment to your views, preferences and habits. Through integral coaching, you can respond freely and creatively.

 

Integral coaching draws together elements of your life that have become fragmented (disintegrated). From the first session, Birgit learns as much as possible about you and your world. She is interested in what is happening at home, at work, your physical practices, your social relationships and your spiritual life. She will be curious about the culture you are living in, and how you relate to your broader environment. This allows her to form a full picture of you, before turning to the issue that prompted coaching and asking questions like:

​

• Why is this issue so difficult for my client?

• What interpretation of the world makes them unable to generate the solution to this problem on their own?

• What skills and competencies would help them to develop a more powerful interpretation?

• What activities will develop those skills and competencies?
