The Animas Coach Training Philosophy

At the heart of Animas is a drive to develop coaches who are able to respond with sensitivity, curiosity, flexibility and confidence to the complex issues that clients bring to coaching from their life and work. Coaching is no longer the preserve of executives in organisations, and no longer does it focus only on career and performance. Coaching now helps people address every area of life from relationships to personal development, from health to wealth, from career to personal passions, and from small improvements in life to exploring our essential purpose and understanding what makes us tick. We believe that, at its most fundamental level, coaching responds to how people face the complexity of life in the 21st century and, given the scope of such an inquiry, it is not about the coach having the answers but about creating the space for clients to gain a greater understanding of their own ways living and becoming empowered to make authentic decisions and responses.
For us, transformational coaching sets out to help people answer the age-old question we all face. From Socrates to Sartre, the question that has echoed through the millennia:

“How do I live a meaningful and worthwhile life?”

Drawing from a range of philosophical, psychological and practical frameworks, we deliver integrative coaching courses that enable you to work with clients at a deeper level to face this and many other questions and challenges they bring to you whether in the workplace or as a coach in independent practice. Unlike many coaching courses which are wedded to a single way of practising, our approach is to open many coaching doors for you to wander through and to explore. And with practice, reflection and feedback, you will become the unique coach only you can be.
