Methodologies
that will work for you
Two key Integral models are used. First, the AQAL model which stands for all quadrants, all levels, all lines, all states, and all types. This is the primary lens used to get to know a client and appreciate their unique world. Second, the ‘Transcend and Include’ or ‘Subjective / Objective’ developmental model (Wilbur / Kegan). A developmental path of bringing into awareness that which has been running outside of awareness.
NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is the study of subjectivity, or put another way, how to run your own brain rather than it running you. Brought to the coaching process it allows clients to get objective to and also quality check their current mindset, meanings and map of reality. By applying this discernment clients are enabled to embody their most resourceful meanings, access their best selves and unleash their peak performance.
Transpersonal Coaching takes a holistic and integrative approach to facilitating transformation, taking you into the playing field of possibility. By transcending ego which by its very nature is resistant to change, this process taps into your essential wisdom for guidance and honours inner knowing, which engages creativity and power.
Our approach to lasting change
Step 1.
Clarity
You want change. To create a road-map to your destination, we’ll clarify where you are now, pinpoint where you want to go, and access powerful meanings to drive you there.
Step 2.
Self-Awareness
We’ll identify blind spots, quality-check thinking, and explore wider perspectives allowing for better outcomes, whilst utilising what’s working, and attending to aspects hindering development.
Step 3.
Integration
Greater awareness and perspective allow a new way-of-being to emerge, different choices are made, feedback loops set up to support change, and a new stage of development is established.
What have people said about UXL?
One-on-One Conversations
A colleague suggested I work with Soo when I found myself at a challenging point in my career. Soo has a canny way of asking direct and challenging questions that rapidly get to the heart of the matter, and which enabled me to identify core patterns impacting me both professionally and personally. As a result of the work we have done together I am showing up differently, have taken steps to transform the way I work, and have prioritised my wellbeing which is something that has been on the backburner for too long.
One-on-One Conversations
I undertook coaching to gain clarity about what I wanted to do with the next stage of my life and career. I certainly achieved these outcomes, plus so much more. I can't say that the process was always easy or fun, but Soo created an appropriate safe space for me to explore, progress, and obtain the outcomes that I desired. I’ve overcome a number of challenging obstacles and am back in the driver seat of my life feeling much calmer, freer, and more content. I’m delighted with these results and highly recommend Soo.
One-on-One Conversations
I found myself in a similar situation to many business owners... plenty to do, some success, but finding positive progress a challenge. I decided to work with Soo, and found her observations to be sound, on topic, measured and highly effective. The result is that I am better focused, achieve more in my working week and have achieved 45% growth in my business over the following 8 months. Thank you, Soo.
One-on-One Conversations
Soo's unique approach through her coaching program is focussed on delivering real and lasting results. Her experience and input into helping me achieve my potential was extremely valuable and I would have no hesitation in recommending Soo to anyone.
One-on-One Conversations
In just a few one on one sessions Soo challenged my thinking and assisted me to transform my world view - with profound results. I'm a different person walking into important meetings and now consistently operate at a different level, much more at ease in myself and able to perform at my best. I recommend Soo to anyone wanting to become more mindful, professional and effective at work.
