Donna with Debbie Ford and other Integrative Coaches
What is an Integrative Coach and what can one do for me?
An Integrative Coach is a highly trained and specialized life coach who is a member of and certified by the International Association of Integrative Coaches (IAIC). The coach’s role is to support you in achieving the very most you can from your life on a permanent basis.
Unlike other life coaches "Integrative" Coaches are unique in that they are the only coaches in the world licensed to use the proven, powerful, proprietary processes and training methods created and developed by Debbie Ford and taught at the JFK University, Pleasant Hill, California.
What is so special about Debbie Ford’s Processes?
They are a “break-through” in coaching techniques that quickly bring to the surface those underlying beliefs about yourself that keep you “stuck” and hold you back. Once these beliefs are identified, acknowledged and integrated, you are ready and able to create an exciting future that is permanently free from the restraints of the past with access to new expansive goals for your life.
Why are they called “Integrative” Coaches?
Two basic reasons. 1. We believe life is an “inside job.” In other words, how you experience your life on a day to day basis is as an expression of your personal “default” system. This is an automatic system triggered by hidden underlying beliefs that cause the “stories” you tell yourself about who you are and what are your capabilities. An Integrative Coach is trained to help you identify and “integrate” those hidden beliefs so no longer are you at their effect when they are automatically triggered. By changing the thoughts that keep you from moving forward you will change your life.
2. The process used is highly interactive – emotionally, intellectually and practically. These three aspects of yourself come together in the coaching processes and are “integrated” to empower you to make new lasting changes in your life. The synergy from this integration is extremely powerful. Is Integrative Coaching a type of therapy?
Absolutely not. Individuals wanting and or in need of therapy are encouraged to check with their local health care professionals and obtain a trained therapist not a coach. Integrative Coaching is for healthy, self generating individuals interested in setting new goals for their lives and working to assure they achieve them.
So what can an Integrative Coach do for me again?
Quite simply – help you discover the extraordinary person you are capable of becoming.
