Time as Lived, Not Measured: The Phenomenology of Time in Transformative Coaching
Nick Bolton, founder of Animas Centre for Coaching
Time is more than a ticking clock—it is a deeply personal, lived experience that shapes how we think, feel, and act.
Some moments rush by, others drag. The past can feel distant or unshakably present. The future may appear expansive, uncertain, or closing in fast.
But how often do we pause to examine our relationship with time?
And how might transformative coaching help clients navigate this unseen yet powerful dimension of their lives?
In this thought-provoking session, revisiting a topic he first covered in 2015 in Time and Timelessness in Coaching, Nick Bolton explores the phenomenology of time—how we experience time subjectively—and its profound implications for how we, and our clients, live our lives.
Drawing on psychological, philosophical, and coaching frameworks, including Philip Zimbardo’s Time Perspective Theory and existential phenomenology, Nick will examine how different time orientations shape our decisions, emotions, and sense of purpose.
We will explore:
- How clients’ perceptions of time influence their mindset, behaviours, and well-being.
- The challenges of being stuck in the past, lost in the present, or paralysed by the future.
- How coaching can help clients reframe their temporal experience for greater clarity, agency, and fulfilment.
Join us for a rich exploration of time as lived, not measured—and discover new ways to support transformational change through the lens of time perception.
