What to expect from our 9 week 1:1 coaching programme
You'll get out what you put in.
Coaching is a partnership between a coach, who uses a proven method, underpinned by an evidenced approach, and a client who is no longer willing to tolerate waiting for a magical unicorn to come along and change their reality. It's likely that you know something is holding you back, but try as you might you can't unstick it, or perhaps the barrier is invisible (they usually are, and we soon start to doubt ourselves!). Your coach will give their 110% guiding you through the unsticking process, you'll need to give 110% to being curious, trying things out, observing, and reflecting in search of the answer for you!
Artemis personal coaching is based on the methodologies pioneered by the Institute for Women-Centred Coaching. That has evolved out of the research work of Dr Claire Zammit. Claire's PhD, and subsequent professional work, established a new understanding of "feminine" power. It would be easy, but intellectually lazy to equate feminine with female, or assume all women, and nobody else, can access feminine power inspired ways of thinking, or getting things done. Whilst it is entirely true that the qualities associated with feminine power are traditionally/stereotypically associated with women, that is far from true in modern times. All humans need good access to both feminine and masculine approaches, and the ability to utilise the effective paradigm in the right context.
Personally, I find it more helpful to think of Claire's work as informed by, utilising relational approaches, rather than sequential/achievement ways of thinking. Both methods are really important, and these days everybody needs access to be able to both when different situations call for different approaches. For example, humans wouldn't exist if we'd spent all day ensuring everyone in the tribe had a chance to have a say, rather than getting out there and organising our strongest/fastest tribe members to hunt down some dinner!
If you have a clear outcome, with a known and clear, measurable success point you need a sequential way of thinking about how to get there i.e. a ladder. That's traditional performance coaching, which is brilliant in the correct context. If though you have a rough vision for the future, a desire to do something that you can't quite put into words yet, that perhaps is so creative, or new to you, or the world, that what success looks like isn't yet clear, or is unmeasurable (e.g. I want to be more confident, I want to live a life where my professional activities are aligned with my personal values, I want to be all that I can be in this life...) then you need something more like a plant pot full of fertile soil, the right nutrients, water and access to sunlight. Something that sets the conditions for roots to grow, the seed to reach it's full potential by putting down roots and then blooming. That's women-centred coaching using feminine power principles! A plant pot, not a ladder...
Session Structure
Over 9 weeks (12 weeks is permissible, to allow for holidays, etc. but no more, otherwise coherence is lost!) we'll move through the same foci as the 9 modules of the IWCC's Feminine Power Essential Course For the Awakening Woman Feminine Power (all Artemis coaching clients get optional FREE access to this course).
Breakthroughs come when you're willing to get curious and be experimental. Let me support you to find out what's been holding you back, and then shift it! Don't sit and wait for a fairy godmother to wave her wand, get curious. Figure out how to activate your own red shoes...
