Coaching

At Life Stream Resources we listen, taking the time necessary to understand the needs of the organization and its people; gaining a clear picture of what the issues or difficulties are and learning what has already been done. Difficulties, problems or issues that are present simply indicate a need or desire for change. The task is to hold the larger picture that can account for the whole of the organization rather than simply focus on answers to a particular problem. Answers never arise from identifying causes. It is necessary to identify the conditions that underlie the causes. The question we hold during this investigative period is what are the missing links between the efforts that have been made and the needs and goals of the organization. How are decisions made; how are its assets being used and what limits the full utilization of these assets. At Life Stream Resources we choose to utilize our skills and capacities and those of the organization to draw out not only the difficulties being confronted but the strengths as well.

Often our greatest weakness is an unacknowledged strength.

The single greatest asset of any organization is its people. So in addition to addressing the organizational development needs we believe it is most productive to help people understand how they see themselves and the impact this has on their decisions, choices and actions. This then facilitates an opening to change the way they see and perceive their jobs, what they are capable of and what they can or cannot do. This shift in perspective, in the way you look at or think about something, allows for change that is not problem driven but solution focused as we are only constricted by what we believe we see. We understand that most people have many misperceptions and inaccuracies about what and who they are and the belief systems they hold but no longer serve them. What they've been taught about what is possible or not and how 'things' are supposed to work.

These distortions are magnified when work teams are brought together to achieve a common goal as they then influence perceptions both individually and collectively about what the task, issue or problem is that one is confronting and what the course of action might be. The difficulties that any of us face, as an individual or an organization stem not only from the external realities or challenges but also from a diminished or lack of clarity about our capacities or capabilities. Once these are present one is able to know what contributions one can make. This is authenticity – the expression of the core self that is unique to the individual. To be aware of and utilize the skills, talents, attributes, and abilities that one carries beyond those acquired through training or education is life producing; connecting us to the best of what and who we are.

A profound understanding of these personal, professional and organizational issues, how they function in concert, guides the work we do. At Life Stream Resources we have the capacity to assist you on maximizing your greatest asset - the self.
