Coaching From the Heart didn’t just happen overnight. CFH has been in the works for several years. It started as a vision that Wendy had to create a Heart Centered Culture. We began to hear about the Heart Centered principles, but still didn’t know how this would look. In 2022 17 PLC staff volunteered to be a part of the Anytime Coaching training with co-founder and author, Teresa Kloster. Teresa trained us in the four practice areas: Responding, Observing, Listening and Inquiring. We were made aware of PAF (Present Aware and Focused) and our FRG (Fast Results Gene) and we learned the importance of mindfulness in our work.
With the basics in place, those 17 people then took Anytime Coaching and made it into Coaching from the Heart (CFH). CFH’s foundations are in the Anytime Coaching Model, which is then infused with our Heart Centered Principles and Core Gifts.
We are no longer supervisor and supervisee or boss and employee. We are coaches and coaches. This is a significant shift that focuses on coaching our coachees to help them be the best versions of themselves. Empowering, trusting, and encouraging our coachees to reach their full potential. We will do this with empathy and compassion, by listening, being curious, staying focused and present.
In the first two weeks of April 100+ of our coaches, were broken into 4 cohorts, underwent a three-day training where they were taught the fundamentals of CFH. We will continue to empower and support our coaches with consultations and one on ones for them to be the best coach possible
This program is designed to empower our coaches with the tools and insights needed to engage with others on a deeper level, fostering understanding, compassion, and genuine connection. In a world that often demands quick fixes and immediate results, Coaching from the Heart invites you to embrace a holistic approach, placing emphasis on relationships, future goals, and continuous personal and professional growth.
As PLC embarks on this journey, remember that Coaching from the Heart is not just a set of practices; it's a mindset and a commitment to nurturing the potential within others. Embrace the lessons ahead and let the transformative power of compassionate coaching guide you toward meaningful connections and sustainable growth.
