Session 1: Experiencing an Integral Life Coaching

Objectives
To have an understanding and actual experience of life coaching
To appreciate a life coaching approach in self-improvement
To create a plan on improving oneself

Introduction
In life coaching, we ask: How we are and how we want to be in our personal lives?

Individual Activity
How are you right now? Elaborate. How’s your health? Elaborate. How’s your
relationship with your classmates? Elaborate. How’s your relationship with your family
(father, mother, siblings)? Elaborate.

Dyad Sharing: Share you answers on your partner.

Presentation
Life coaching is about supporting change and development in a person’s life. It is
about change, bringing about change, sustaining change, and nurturing change as
we develop over time into fuller and freer versions of ourselves.

Individual Activity
What change do you want to pursue so that you would develop to become a better
version of yourself? (Understanding one’s current situation – do planning - taking
actions)

Vision: How you want your life to be?

Action: Articulated the goals for change (based on something missing or something
desired).
(For example, The life that I currently have is…. The things that are working well in my life
are… And the things that are not working well are… My goals are… The obstacles to
achievement are…. My own attitude contributes to all this (on the things that are
working well and on the things that are not working well))
(love reading, love learning, excited in going to school, time management, being late,
being absent in school, procrastination, not paying attention, bashing an do on)

Processing
An integral coaching approach to change: Identify two topics (one is what you are
doing well and another is what you are not doing well) that you wish to focus on.
I
Becoming aware of your current way of seeing and relating to your topic and
developing a new way of relating to and experiencing your topic (self, others, things).
It
Engaging in integrally-designed exercises and practices that involve new “doings” and
“seeings” to develop needed skills and capacities.
We
Articulating new insights and understanding through powerful conversations with their
coach; shared intimacy and meaning support and model relationship potentials.

(We are doing this activity to show concern for each other. I am doing this to help you
realize that you are the best person to help yourself. To help yourself is the best way to
prepare yourself in helping other people.)

Its
Seeing more objectively how you fit in various systems, roles they play, and how
changing their environment can change themselves.

(Know that change has to do with optimizing your function and fit in the context of the
overall school system in which you live. For example, if there is not a good fit between
the client’s skill sets and the roles, expectations, and operating structures of their
organizational system, then the client most often has to adapt to better align with the
system within which they want to contribute, develop effective ways to influence the
system, or move to a system where there is a better fit. We are here to help you build
the knowledge and capabilities needed to better contribute to the whole school.)

Wrapping Up
In an integral view, we realize that:
I - Change occurs through insights from inside the client; this alone will create new
futures.
IT - Change occurs through new “doings” and by accountability to our club and
school.
WE - Change occurs through conversation with another; the connection enables
access to
new insights and realities.
ITS - Change occurs through the optimization of a person's fit and function in the
context of
the systems in which they participate.
