Ecological Coaching is a transformative partnership designed to support you in your role as leader as you transition your organisation towards regenerative futures. It is about the inner transition that will power the outer transition. It is as much spiritual as practical.
As with any menu, the options can be tweaked to suit your particular needs. And yet, as the options are based on the intensity and frequency at which we might work together, they should give you some sense of how we might collaborate:
- Intensive:
Who is this for?
Leaders who need to take stock and honestly explore where they and their organisations are at on their transition journey – inside and out.
All this is done from a position of non-judgment – the only place to start a journey is from where you are now.
- How does it help?
- Quick, intensive support to gain clarity about where you are spiritually, what your vision is, what you are specifically trying to accomplish right now in the world, what your challenges are, what your stakeholders’ challenges might be, what options might be available and what support and upskilling you may need.
- Key Points:
- This one-week intensive includes daily calls to unleash energy and fresh thinking and soulfulness and reflect on any gap between soul, vision, strategy and on-the-ground delivery.
- Each call builds on the previous one and allows you time in-between to take concrete mini-steps to apply some of what has been learnt.
- In practice, it will work as an informal 720 on you and your organisation (1st 360) and on the relationship with those you serve, outside stakeholders (local communities, suppliers…) and the planet that hosts us (2nd 360).
- Structured:
- Who is this for?
- Leaders seeking regular, structured support to spur their transition journey – inside and out.
- How does it help?
- It firstly explores where you are at on your inner transition. Who are you right now? Who are you being called to be? What is yours to do?
- It then ensures that there is clarity around the longer-term vision and core values so that everything you do day-in day-out is aligned.
- It provides the necessary support to bridge any gap between vision and implementation, particularly ensuring that the emerging culture is putting planet and community at the heart of all decision-making.
- This means offering ongoing support around near-term decision-making whilst providing space for reflection on progress and the necessary next steps.
- Key points:
- This option is built around weekly calls over a minimum of four months.
- This provides for continuous personal and professional growth through the lenses of planet, community, organisation and leader.
- Mastery:
Who is this for?
This is for leaders on a journey of mastery who require flexible and extensive support to work on every aspect of their professional and spiritual transitions.
- How does it help?
- It provides comprehensive support for you as a leader and as a person to refine and live into your vision.
- Key points:
- This package offers the most intensive and flexible support with the ability to schedule next day calls as needed.
- It requires a minimum commitment of one year.
- With holidays and breaks, in practice that means about 10 months of active coaching within the year, giving space for integration and reflection.
- The blend of intensity and duration create scope for significant transformation and the freedom to explore topics deeply and spontaneously.
Is This Right for Me?
Working with Tom is a significant investment. Whilst pricing is discussed individually and takes your circumstances into account, wealthier clients will be charged substantially more. This will allow me to subsidise other regenerative-related work I undertake.
Beyond this, it is a commitment not only to your own growth and transformation but to building different futures. It requires openness to new challenges, a continuous quest for excellence, and a readiness to potentially transform how you lead and live.
Ask yourself:
– What value do I anticipate from working with Tom?
– Looking back three years from now: How has my world been transformed?
– Am I prepared to invest energy and money in this journey?
– If not now, what other paths might I explore?
The key question then is: “On a scale of 1 to 10, how right does this feel?“
If you are 8 or below, my invitation is to take maximum advantage of the free content on this site to become more curious and expand how you think. I also endeavour to answer every email so if you have any queries do reach out.
Deep Dive on the Various Options
Intensive
- Outcome: Take stock of where you are at and spark fresh thinking about what might be possible!
- Ask yourself: What might be possible if I believed it were possible?
- Logistics:
- The challenge, as Henry David Thoreau noted, is not being busy (industrious in his day) but rather identifying what to be busy about.
- As mentioned earlier, humans are very good at solving problems but less so at ascertaining the right problem to solve or indeed if there is a “problem” at all.
- This week-long intensive offers an opportunity to stand still and look around at both what is and what might be.
- It starts with a slow Monday Reflection Call (90-minute Zoom).
- This is followed by daily Insight Calls (50-minute Zooms) that will likely have small actionable takeaways.
- Each day will build on the previous one and the week closes with a Friday reflection call (90-minute Zoom) in which we will draw conclusions and identify concrete next steps.
- We will have a final Insight Call (50-minute Zoom) the following Friday.
- This structure can be adjusted to suit your particular needs.
Structured
- Outcome: Build momentum through weekly calls that allow you to amplify your positive impact and generate different types of returns.
- Ask yourself: With this support, what might I accomplish?
- Logistics:
- This is a four-month membership.
- It is intended to be highly practical and tactical in nature.
- The first three months consist of a cycle of weekly Insight Calls (50-minute Zooms) and a monthly Reflection Call (90-minute Zooms).
- The Insight Calls are intended to allow us to work through whatever challenge or decision is top of mind with a view to unlocking key insights, whilst in tandem working on core thinking skills in real time.
- These calls could be split into 2 calls a week (say 30-minutes and 20-minutes each) should that work better for you.
- One week a month this is supplemented by a longer Reflection Call (90-minute Zoom). This call focuses on the bigger picture to ensure that your day-to-day aligns with the longer-term vision and strategies and that possible opportunities are being identified. It also allows us to check in on broader soft skill development and the overall balance in your life.
- Between calls, I offer ongoing email support and will continue working on your behalf to identify additional insights that may be of benefit. This is a really key point that can get overlooked and the relationship reduced to “just the calls”. In truth, based on what you share I may decide to read certain books or attend particular events and conferences on top of repeatedly reflecting on what you have shared all with a view to continually deepening the support I can offer.
- The fourth month is about reflecting on what has been learnt and on identifying concrete next steps and consists of Reflection Calls every two weeks.
- If there are holidays breaks during a particular period that prevent us from working together, the end date may be extended accordingly.
Mastery
- Outcome: Join me in a year-long journey of transformation.
- Ask yourself: Who would I like to have become in a year?
- Logistics:
- This is an annual membership.
- Next day calls as and when you need them (weekdays only and up to one call a day).
- Calls can be shorter or longer and much more informal (Zoom or phone / WhatsApp…).
- Work through any decision or challenge in a more timely manner.
- Continually refine key thinking and other soft skills.
- Explore other learning opportunities as they arise.
- Annual membership assumes that there will be holiday breaks at various times during the year. In practice we will likely work together for approximately 10 out of the 12 months. This package is priced accordingly. In any event, the end date can always be extended should this be necessary.
