"...there are a large number of neuroscientific findings that can explain how coaching works at brain level. We can now understand from a physiological perspective why an individual needs to come to their own answers and why a solutions-focus is more powerful than dwelling on problems. We can understand why learning new skills can take time, how positive feedback affects the brain, aspects of how we make decisions, what happens when we set goals and many other things."

Enneagram -- An Assessment Tool
The Enneagram, which dates back to Pythagoras, is a system used for self-exploration, based on nine distinct personality types. Identifying your personality type provides insight into your behaviors and their connection with the ego. Through the Enneagram you will understand: |
• Why you have certain fears
• What motivates your behavior
• How you respond to stress
• What your personality looks like when you mature beyond your ego
• How to relate to each personality type

Choice Theory
Choice Theory teaches us that we don’t have to go along with the rest of our society in believing that other people can control how we think or that it is right to ridicule, threaten, and/or punish those who don’t do what we tell them to do or reward them to do what we want. We have a choice to think and feel what we want. We can only control ourselves; once we accept this and practice it our lives will be far more enjoyable and fulfilling. Utilizing choice in our relationships creates strong and lasting bonds of love. |
