What does 2122 mean?
The meaning behind the name is simple. We were founded in 2022, and my goal is to help companies and individual legacies be around for the next 100 years (which would be 2122). Whether we’re building your dream business or coaching you to new heights of personal and professional growth, I’m invested in your long-term success — not just a transactional engagement.
In this post, I will break down the different services, cutting-edge coaching modalities, practical experience, and methodologies that I use to help clients find more success, joy, fulfillment, peace, and balance in their lives.
What is business coaching?
Business coaching is all about helping you make progress on your professional dreams. Whether you’re a solopreneur, an executive, a manager, or a new or experienced business owner looking to scale their company - business coaching can help you grow to the next stage of your business.
Business coaches are usually profoundly experienced professionals who help executives and entrepreneurs by weaving together their real-world experience with coaching skills to help improve personal and corporate performance and productivity and achieve sustainable success. I use KPIs, OKRs, and SMART goals to get actual results based on your accountability type and energy levels.
Business Coaching through the lens of serving the whole person looks at more than your productivity or executive presence. It considers how you want to show up as a leader, how your stress levels, ability to recover, and levels of health and energy impact your teams, company culture, org-wide performance, and management style. We know that work in western culture often bleeds into all areas of our life, and allowing ourselves to show up authentically and as a whole person at work is more important than ever.
What is Stress Management Coaching?
Did you know there’s good stress and bad stress? A stressor is anything that brings your body out of homeostasis or its natural baseline. Eustress (good stress) is anything that makes us grow and change in productive ways. Bad stress (Distress) is stress that breaks us down and depletes us.
Modern lives are filled with stress. We get into potentially harmful patterns when we don’t have the strategies and tools to recover from stressors and cannot bring our bodies back to baseline or turn off our vigilant state, only to become hypervigilant.
By working from a deep-health perspective, including stress management, movement, and sleep strategies, we can build some key recovery practices that help us return to homeostasis no matter the level or duration of stress(es) we experience.
In Business and Life Coaching, we often work on changing behaviors. Whether it’s around productivity, making time in your hectic schedule to work on your new business, or trying to develop new habits that will stick – Health in all dimensions can affect people’s ability to change.
For instance, if we’re:
feeling low from the flu or being on our feet all day (physical stress);
overloaded by information (mental-cognitive stress);
grappling with work anxiety (emotional stress);
feeling lonely (social-relational stress);
feeling adrift with no apparent purpose in life (existential stress); and
annoyed by clutter and noisy neighbors around us (environmental stress)
We are less open to change.
On the other hand, if we’re:
Well-rested and well-nourished (reduces physical stress);
Clear and focused (reduces mental-cognitive);
Feeling optimistic and upbeat (reduces emotional stress);
In supportive and secure relationships (reduces social stress);
Doing activities that feel deeply meaningful (reduces existential stress);
Comfortable, safe, and have just the right amount of stimulation for us (reduces environmental stress)
Then, we are much more open to change and growth.
Because we can’t have 100% healthy and optimum performance every second, building stress management and adaptation skills are also vital. These skills can "unlock" your ability to change by making life’s obstacles and change process easier to deal with — without being perfect. The balance between stressors and recovery determines our overall health, performance, and quality of life. It also shapes how we function, feel, think, form relationships, and act.
What is Transformational Coaching?
Transformational Coaching empowers you to access your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behavior patterns that could limit your capacity to meet your goals. Transformational coaching also uses partnering and collaborative inquiry to address overarching parts of your life to support you through a significant change to help you grow, develop, and redefine your current existence.
Transformational vs. Transitional (or Traditional) Coaching
Transformational coaching differs from transitional or goal-oriented, where the coach works with you to address a specific challenge with a focused outcome. A transitional coach could help you move from one job to another, while a transformational coach will empower you to rethink what’s possible professionally.
I combine modalities and methodologies to suit a unique individual. There are excellent characteristics to transitional and transformational coaching approaches that will help you change the structure of your life to meet your terms of success while successfully moving you through moments of transition. We may flow between both states or weave them together to meet your specific goals.
What are the Benefits of Transformational Coaching?
The most significant benefit of transformational coaching is long-lasting, positive, sustainable change. Through collaborative inquiry, transformational coaching will help you become more aware of your unique gifts, zone of genius, strengths, and perspective to share with the world.
While long-lasting, sustainable change is the biggest benefit, there are many different rewarding outcomes, such as:
Gaining awareness about your talents, motivators, dreams, fears, cultural influences, and assumptions, then exploring how they are shaping your worldview
Moving into an empowered perspective and mindset, shedding old stories and self-limiting beliefs
Defining what fulfillment, success, and happiness are according to your unique terms
Why do you talk about sustainability and transformation so much? Can’t we just put together a quick action plan?
Maybe you’ve listened to all of the podcasts and read all the books to help you achieve your goals, but you can’t seem to make real progress. In coaching, we take the time to determine why successes may not have happened yet and anticipate any potential roadblocks to reduce friction as we work towards your goals. We’ll explore whether there is some unconscious block you’re facing. Perhaps there is a fear of success where your new business might require more time in an already hectic and overwhelmed life. Or maybe you’re unknowingly carrying childhood or adolescence experiences that bring out perfectionistic tendencies because of a fear of failure. Our discovery work will get to the heart of the issue and help us chart a path to healthy success that fits your unique lifestyle.
By the time they come to coaching, most clients have already tried MANY things to achieve their goals and create lasting change. They have usually read all the “how to habit” books, all the medium articles, and even signed up for a course or two (much as I did), but nothing led to a consistent change year after year. I combine transformational, transitional, and embodiment methodologies to help you achieve long-lasting, positive, sustainable change.
Small, consistent actions can create sustainable progress toward a thriving, healthy existence without burning ourselves out.
Specific Modalities and Methods:
Clinical EFT, known as “tapping,” is short for Emotional Freedom Technique. Validated in more than 100 clinical trials and recognized by many national health systems, clinical EFT is an evidenced-based method combining acupressure with methods from cognitive behavioral and exposure therapies to help you ground yourself and bring down heightened emotions, fear, distress, and pain across countless topics.
Breathwork Therapy practices: clarity, transformational, holotropic, and grounding
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (“NLP”) for personal and professional growth helps you create a vision for your future that aligns with your values and allows people to understand how their language and communication patterns create programming in the mind and your nervous system.
Accountability Type helps you understand how you deal with outer and inner accountability for better follow-through and accountability actions.
Sustainable Model of Change - is a proprietary methodology that takes your unique brain, lived experiences, identity, and behavioral tendencies to create a new model of change using neuroplasticity and NLP.
My Approach:
My approach is more than the latest life hacks, traditional time management strategies, or general business blog exercises. We’ll identify your goals, your unique accountability style, a working schedule that works for you, personalized frameworks for decision-making, and an action plan to achieve your goals that work for your unique brain.
I believe we should design our ideal lives first and then craft our work to meet our lifestyle objectives. Productivity should give us back more time, not require more of us. More balanced ways of productivity give you the freedom to choose what you want to focus your precious resources (time, energy, and attention) on.
Whether we’re building your dream business or coaching you to new heights of personal and professional growth, I’m invested in your long-term success — not just a transactional engagement.
I combine decades of personal development education, academic research, and professional experience with working on a sustainable change model that is unique to you as a whole person to help you get tangible, measurable, and SMART results.
