Generative Coaching, developed by Stephen Gilligan, Ph.D., and Robert Dilts, is more than just a coaching technique; it's a profound way of approaching life and creativity. It's a cornerstone of my practice because it moves beyond simply "fixing problems" and empowers you to generate the outcomes and realities you truly desire.

These "mirror" books validate their identity, making them feel seen and valued. Conversely, "window" books allow children to peer into the lives of others, fostering empathy, understanding, and a broader worldview. Studies have also shown that children are more engaged and motivated when they see themselves in the stories they read. This increased engagement can lead to better academic outcomes. Moreover, reading about diverse experiences enhances vocabulary and comprehension skills, as children encounter new concepts and perspectives.

The Core Concept: The "COACH" State

The central idea is the "generative state." This is a state of high-level consciousness where you are open, connected, and creative. We often call this the "COACH" state, which stands for:
● Centered in your body● Open in your mind and heart● Aware and Awake● Connected to your resources● Holding it all in a state of positive regard

From this state, challenges look different, and solutions that were previously unimaginable become accessible. It's about changing your inner state to change your outer world.

● Why It's Transformational

A key principle of Generative Coaching is that obstacles are the way. Instead of fighting against anxiety, fear, or "stuckness," we learn to welcome these experiences and use their energy to build something new and valuable. This transforms the coaching process from a struggle into a creative act, allowing you to build a life that is not only successful but also deeply meaningful.

In my sessions, I use these principles to help you connect with your creative state, break through limitations, and build a future that is an authentic expression of who you are.
