Perspectives

When you immerse yourself in Integral development, you end up seeing different Perspectives arising everywhere. In my case, I tend to see everything through the lens of the approach to human development that we have developed called Integral Coaching®. This way of experiencing the world includes seeing unique Perspectives about coaching, a coach's development, clients' struggles and successes, the difficulty of working to bring about change on our lives, the qualities needed to be an effective Integral Coach™, things that make us laugh and cry, that devastate us or lift us up, and the ultimate predicament and joy of the human condition. Everything that arises becomes fodder.

Each of these shorter pieces of writing or Perspectives is inspired by a conversation, a song, a person, a situation, anything really that arises in day-to-day living. Most of the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Each of these pieces was written in 10 - 20 minutes during my sporadic Writing Practice sessions. I hope they are of service. Joanne.

This is an INUKSHUK which is an Inuit stone figure traditionally found in the icy north. It is a Canadian symbol. INUKSHUKS are erected as beacons by the Inuit traveller leaving a marker for those who follow. These large stone figures can be seen from great distances over ice and snow. Northern travellers can pick out a marker on the distant horizon and walk to it before looking out across the vast tundra for the next INUKSHUK to guide them along unfamiliar and ever-changing terrain. The unique configuration of each stone figure is particular to each person who builds it so you will recognize your companions along the way; each formation also provides vital messages of warning or opportunity. Lastly, it is a sign of respect to pay attention, to stop your own journey and to build an INUKSHUK for travellers yet to come.

The people who join the lineage practicing Integral Coaching® are much like these Inuit travellers. They benefit from those who have come before them and have the responsibility to those who are still to come. It is a lineage that includes skilful means, direct action, clear intention, wise compassion, deep respect, and love. Most of all, Love. It is both a sacred duty and a call to serve clients, students, community, consciousness, and other coaches in this lineage. The INUKSHUK symbolizes all of this to us.       Close
