Forward Together Relational Coaching

The Enneagram may sound like nothing but clickbait for bored Insta scrollers, but it's actually a powerful tool for teams. Imagine being able to see past all the quirky and mysterious behaviors that have you shaking your head at your co-workers...and being able to understand the core motivations that are driving them (and that you most likely share in some way). I'm just itching to get my hands on your team and teach you how the Enneagram can transform friction into freedom! Let me know when you're ready to explore.

It has been a long time since I enjoyed a good art exhibit. Today I took my class to the Louise Bourgeois exhibition at the USC Fisher Museum and I was really touched by the artist’s vulnerability and childlike grasping at affirmation and security. I totally identified. If you don’t know the artist, it’s time to do some exploring!

Over a year ago, on an island in the middle of the Philippines, we watched our life get packed into boxes.

Then we built something new in California.

I’m excited to finally open the boxes from “before” and sort through what to hold onto “now” and what to gratefully send away.

Do you have a story about a big move?

Stay inquisitive! I’m all aflutter over my morning library haul….what’s on your reading list right now?

Also, save money. Visit your local library. Have a conversation with someone about books. It’s infinitely more pleasurable than clicking a button. Although less convenient, I grant that.

I keep reformulating what I’m doing here, so let me introduce myself as I am this month. 😂❤️👋

My name is Wendy. I’m here in this space to offer thoughts and questions that will hopefully propel us all forward together.

I’m a natural teacher, and in fact a professional English teacher, but also a romantic sentimentalist who loves relationships of all kinds.

That’s why my brand of coaching involves a little teaching (specifically about the Enneagram as a tool for self-awareness and growth), a lot of listening, and some encouraging, prodding questions at (hopefully) just the right moments so that you, if you want to invite me on your journey, can find and begin to trust the gifts you carry inside.

I’m here if you want to talk about (and grow in) communication, confidence, compassion, or any of the et ceteras you can think of.

The link to a description of my programs is in my bio.

Be well.

Curious about coaching? Here's what it might look like to work with me...
..as a communication coach:
-Step 1: I walk you through an exploration of nine basic communication styles to see if any resonate with you and/or reflect your tendencies.
-Step 2: We identify areas where communication is not working as well as you would like and set goals that are both visionary and practical.
-Step 3: During our weekly sessions I ask questions to get you thinking about the motivations underlying your communication habits and give you exercises designed to stretch your thinking and tap into natural areas of growth and freedom for your unique style.
..as a relational coach:
-Step 1: Individually or with a partner, we explore nine basic personality types with the core motivations of each in the hopes that you will see yourself in one. This may include an online assessment to give us a starting point for discussing the possible type(s) that you tend toward.
-Step 2: Together we talk about the places in your relationship(s) where there is friction and set goals that would bring greater freedom and reflect your values.
-Step 3: Once a week I ask questions to get you thinking about your underlying fears, desires, and values. I listen for indicators that you might be acting according to the defense mechanisms common to your personality type. I assign practices tailored to your personality type(s) that are intended to move you from rigidity to openness and help you access the resources inherent in other personality types you might have natural connections with.

DM me if you want to learn more about whether this style of coaching might be a good fit for you! In the next post I will talk about what team coaching might look like.
