and Community. We can coach you to develop quality relationships in all these
areas.
Relationship Coaching
Sooner or later, you need
relationship coaching. Maybe you want to resolve a crisis, to avoid worsening
conflicts or to improve an already-good relationship. If you assume that you can get
along without coaching, you may end potentially wonderful relationships; you
may suffer problems for years; and you may never attain the happiness that could have been
yours.
Many coaches, counselors, therapists and consultants advertise relationship coaching.
Here are some questions to ask when choosing a format for relationship
coaching, and a relationship
coach:

1. How did we become relationship coaches?
In 1988, we started providing success coaching, therapeutic coaching
and expert modeling in sport, business and education. By 1992 we noticed that the most profound limitations and blocks to progress,
success
and development were usually relationship issues.
Family traditions and office politics, previous
commitments and promises, abandoned responsibilities and reckless love
affairs ... contribute to relationship chaos. And in organizations; mergers and
near-bankruptcies; lay-offs and takeovers can scar both
management and employees.
We now specialize in relationship management. We commit to
your relationship goals.

4. How much of our practice is relationship coaching?
Soulwork coaching is split between training,
individual coaching and systemic coaching. Many individual issues require couple coaching - and most systemic coaching
requires also resolves individual issues. At least 50% of our practice is relationship coaching.
5. What kind of relationship coaching do we use?
Systemic relationship coaching is ... systemic;
and even simple systems may require complex coaching strategies. For
example, a married couple may wish to "make love not war". Yet each partner
brings all their previous relationships into the marriage - including parents
and past partners.
6. Can we describe a typical relationship coaching session?
Usually we meet people individually, to discuss
goals and prepare for simultaneous relationship coaching together. Individual
sessions allow you to identify your key goals and complaints
privately and without interference. Later, couple or family coaching can
resolve deeper systemic issues.
7. Will we help you resolve relationship problems?
Yes we will. In systemic relationship coaching, we notice how past problems and
expected future difficulties show up in current relationships. We can coach you
to either express thoughts or emotions about the past
or future - and deal wit the conflicts and discussions that candor and honesty
provoke.
8. Will we teach you relationship skills?
We teach specific relationship skills and coach people in the areas of: Family;
Friendship; Teamwork; Partnership; Parenthood and Community. We give homework to reinforce learning. We
provide skills to continue your relationship journey. We coach people to
coach each other!
9. How long does a relationship require coaching?
We provide short-term relationship coaching -
usually between 3-12 sessions - and long-term mentorship -
meeting each month to discuss and fine-tune relationship
challenges. Added time may be required if one or more members has
significant individual issues that limit participation
in a relationship.
10. Will we meet you together or individually?
We repeatedly find that individual change is needed
for long-term effectiveness and happiness. We usually request a single
sessions with each adult member of a relationship; and certainly with each
partner of a partnership and with team, organizational, corporate and
community leaders. After these individual sessions, we prefer that all
people involved attend sessions together as far as possible.
