A Message From Joanne:

At the HEART of Coaching with Intent^SM is the powerful and sacred relationship that the Coach and Client co-create. At the HEART of the relationship is the powerful alliance and partnership in which Coach and Client engage for the purpose of inquiry, increased awareness, deep connection to self and to inner wisdom, new choices, shifts in perspective, and contribution to others. At the level of Intent -- in the energy of Love -- there is created a Container for Emergence -- for the Client to chose, to trust self, to leap, to grow, to accelerate -- and to live life fully expressed.

We invite Spirit in to be our willing partner. In our Listening with Intent, we hear the rumblings and stirrings of our Client’s soul in a way that is profound. We are present and connected to hear what is happening in the moment. As we listen with greater awareness and consciousness, we create room for transformation.

As we empower, intuit, language, challenge, and ask artful questions with Intent, there is ease and flow that feels magical. We love, grow, and serve our client. This is mastery. The Client emerges and accelerates—more fully alive and connected to self. And, the Coach who Coaches with Intent grows and accelerates—co-creation and synergy.

The work is always with the Coach. We commit ourselves to a spiritual path—to a path for exploration of higher purpose—and by practicing each day, we work to be present, to mind our minds, to remove our judgments, and to gently move out of the way of our Client’s unfolding.

Simply said, at the HEART -- is YOU and ME -- YOU and US -- connected, committed, and present to universal energy. And, at the level of Intent, anything is possible—even reaching the stars—even being the stars. In our lifetime, Coaching with Intent^SM just might transform our world—one heart at a time, one workplace at a time, one country at a time. Coaching, as a profession, could lead the way.
