Choice Concept:

     No matter what environment we work or exist in, we all want to know that we have meaning.  A purpose in life drives us to achieve remarkable things, and create balance in our lives.  It is our relationships that uniquely define us, and the contributions we make.

      The delicate balance between competing and creating evokes an internal tension, that when directed allows us to develop a visionary focus.  It is important to remain authentic to oneself, which can be very difficult in the demanding society in which we live.  Social networks provide means by which we can communicate in a multi-dimensional manner, but it can also become a trap and disrupt our efforts at communicating on an intimate level. 

      Some of our most profound moments come out of simplicity.  Teaching clients how to align with the simple truths in life can assist in creating personal balance.  Assisting a client in building an authentic foundation can guide them through life, and can be achieved through personal coaching.  In learning to become a wellness and prevention coach, you can impact an individual’s life and help them in finding personal meaning and create choices that fulfill and satisfy in life. 

Purpose:

In providing counseling services, we often approach an individual from the perspective of being “sick.”  The Coaching Choice Model is a means by which you can offer a Wellness Model as opposed to a “Sickness Model.”  If you are looking to provide your clients with an alternative to treatment, offering coaching may by a healthy option, along with a potentially profitable revenue source.

Philosophical Foundation:  New Choice Thinking offers an integrative coaching approach utilizing cognitive-behavioral, neuro-psychological, and natural health methods.  The foundation of coaching is based on advances in the fields of cognitive-behavioral psychology, neuro-science, behavioral medicine, and wellness.  It shares the theoretical roots of existential psychology, choice/control theory, information processing, and social and emotional intelligence.  Building on the best from each of these schools of thought; the coaching approach incorporates the advantages of "social networking."  This holistic approach to coaching, allows for the complex and multi-faceted manner in which people communicate in today's world.  Taking into considering that we live in a global society, with multi-cultural influences in which communication occurs instantly; coaching efforts must adapt to the broader spectrum.  As the lines of communication become blended the opportunity for change increases.

Family of Choice (FOC) Coaching:  Choice coaching is a specific approach to coach training and when combined with FOC coach training it goes beyond the traditional coaching model and extends mentoring to the development of family support by offering a healing community.
