It works because it initiates a change in behaviour where the individual/coachee chooses – unprompted – to respond differently to the world around them. They are not forced or manipulated into doing so, but rather internalise the discoveries about themselves and use this new knowledge to make conscious decisions about their daily actions and habits. Coaches can certainly help clients attain their goals, however when we understand why we’re doing what we’re doing, the goals themselves may change. In Integral Coaching we are interested in supporting our clients to understand why, and what it is that only they can bring into the world, in order to enable them to develop the capacity to respond to what life hands them.
