Co-Active Coaching is a unique alliance designed to forward and enhance the lifelong process of human learning, effectiveness, and fulfillment. The client and the coach work together as equal partners to meet the needs of the client.

Co-Active Coaching is not about the coach’s expertise, opinions, or solutions. The coach's expertise is strictly limited to the process of coaching. The coach's job is to assist you to articulate your dreams, desires, and aspirations; help you clarify your mission, purpose, and goals; and support you in achieving your desired outcome.

The Four Cornerstones of Co-Active Coaching

1. The client is naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. You can find your own answers. Nothing is wrong or broken. The coach does not have the answers, the coach has questions that create channels for your self-discovery.
   
   
2. Co-active coaching addresses the client’s whole life. Every choice you make brings you closer or further away from a life that is fulfilling. Co-active Coaching addresses these three client principles: Fulfillment, Balance and Focus.
   
   
3. The agenda comes from the client. The agenda of the coaching relationship comes from you, the client, not the coach. The coach “holds” your agenda and makes sure it does not get forgotten.
   
   
4. The relationship is a designed alliance. Power is granted to the relationship--not the coach. The coach and you work together to design the alliance that will meet your needs. You play a fundamental role in designing how you want to be coached. You learn that you are in control of the relationship and ultimately the changes that you make in your life.
