Instead of models and frameworks, the Deep Coaching approach is centered on transformational coaching practice: 9 core transformative practices that create the optimal conditions in which transformation unfolds naturally and organically.
Transformative practice is intentional activity committed to for extended periods of time with the purpose of empowering personal transformation.
Such practice gives us greater awareness of our habitual behaviors and our personal gravity (that which holds us back). It also promotes access to our spiritual depths and helps reveal the light of our true Self. Far more than a hobby or something you dabble in, transformative practice is a way of living, of engaging life each day.
Through committed and intentional transformative practice, you heal yourself, your self-concept evolves, and more of your essential nature is revealed. You are awake; you are free—all because you have committed to the practices which support knowing yourself as you are. In other words, you are walking the path of mastery.
