“Integral” means inclusive of everything, entire, complete, whole. 

So, at its deepest root, Integral Coaching® refers to a way of coaching that is whole, complete, and integrated. Further, Integral Coaching® includes frameworks and developmental principles based on globally recognized Integral Theory.

At Integral Coaching Canada, we have studied numerous Adult Development approaches and conducted years of detailed research of Integral Theory to create a systematic approach to change, bringing about change, and pursuing change that is whole and complete. Change is at the root of coaching, whether it is introducing healthier ways of being in our current lives or transformative depth work that brings about radical development. 

Most approaches to change are partial and, therefore, don’t last. An Integral approach brings about change that endures over time, beyond the term of a coaching contract.”

Individuals or companies can hire coaches as a way to correct or reset behaviour and help leaders evolve. Topics can include:

• Work/life balance
• Public speaking
• Management styles
• Peak performance
• Smartphone usage
• Procrastination
• Habit formation
• Anxiety
• Transitions at work
• Stress Management

While aspects of coaching are certainly therapeutic, the difference between the two lies in how we approach change.  Therapy is primarily an examination of your past, in order to seek understanding and healing before moving forward.  Alternatively, coaching is primarily an action-oriented approach that focuses on empowering you in your efforts to achieve your present and future goals.

On-line meetings have become the norm, and most clients prefer them for the sake of convenience.  However, in-person discussions are also welcome, depending on location and our schedules.
