Discovery Coaching: Unlocking your inner desires and resources for congruent change

What is Discovery?

Discovery is a unique creative coaching process designed by Elizabeth Cairns that enables you to get right to the heart of what’s important to you. Discovery coaching reveals desires and creates choices that are fully congruent with who you really are and what you are capable of.

Discovery coaching works on the premise that your true path, the one that is right for you, and your unique circumstances is held within you. Discovery coaching acknowledges that when we strip away fear and doubt and other blockers, often generated by the conscious mind, the reality of what is possible reveals itself.

How long does it take and what’s involved?

A standard Discovery coaching session takes just 2 hours with the option to book half and full day sessions depending on your circumstances.

You arrive for your session having given some thought to what it is you want to work on and we agree the outcomes. You are then guided through the Discovery process which utillises approaches from the fields of NLP, energy medicine, meditation and art therapy.

Your outputs from the session can then provide a spring board for further action focused coaching. Some people find that the revelations from Discovery itself are enough to create a desired shift in attitude and awareness. We do recommend that if you want to embed lasting change in behaviour that you have either Phone coaching or Walking to Clarity Coaching to support you.

You take the physical outputs from the session with you as a tangible testament to the work you have done and the information you have accessed.

Why Discovery?

Dissatisfaction affects motivation, loses you business and can knock your confidence…can you afford to let it go on?

Once dissatisfaction with our work creeps in, it can take hold and infect our whole life. Feeling like you are continually going over the same old ground without making decisions to move you forward can be draining and a waste of energy. Repeatedly feeling like you are struggling and not fulfilling your potential can really knock you confidence.

It’s ok to be unsure about what direction to take and we all need a little help from time to time. Running my own small business I know that sometimes it can be tricky to know how to spend our precious time and hard earned cash in a way that will make enough of a difference to be worth it.

Finding the right path doesn’t have to be a long and painful process it can be an easy an enjoyable experience. In a Discovery session you can achieve real clarity about your present situation and find a way forward that works for you. By working through this unique tried and tested process with Elizabeth as your experienced coach, you can establish what direction for you will really make your heart sing and play to your strengths.

Discovery accesses the limiters and liberators in play in both your conscious understanding and your unconscious mind so you know that the decisions you make are a holistic representation of what is right for you to the very core. No more doubt about whether this is the right path to take, less worry about how will it pay the bills, less procrastination on taking action. Because the answers and solutions come from you, you gain a real sense of ownership and responsibility for the direction of your life and your experience which is wholly empowering.

So do I really need Discovery?

If you’re fed up with sounding like a broken record and would like to be telling a different story then there comes a time when you need to do things differently.

Your life and your work is too important not to invest just two hours of your time to take positive action.

Muddling through things on your own can often drag out the process and leave you feeling deflated and disheartened. With the right intervention at the right time you could be feeling clearer, more energised and ready to take more control of you future. So why waste time getting started?

How others have benefited from Discovery Coaching

Scenario 1. Helen has been a freelance hairdresser for 10 years and was feeling dissatisfied with her failing business, stuck in a rut and bored. She was no longer challenged at work and found that she was no longer making the effort that she used to with her clients. She had the sense that there was something bigger for her, something that would take her to the next level, but she couldn’t see it clearly and didn’t really now where to start.

She booked a two hour Discovery Coaching session. The first half of the session explored where she was in her life at that time, what was important to her and how work was affecting her family, her self image and her motivation. The second half of the session we used to reveal the dream locked within. It turns out that Helen had a concept for a unique hair and beauty salon that would draw on all her previous experience and give her a suitable challenge and enable her to grow her business, work in a team and make a real difference to her clients. Through a customer archetype exercise we identified the specific types of clients that her new salon would attract and where her new venture would best work to suit her and her client base. Her vision was so exciting to her, so closely linked to her core values and so true to her heart that she began taking action straight away to realise it.

She is now moving abroad and making her dream a reality, having top up phone coaching to keep her on track and remind her of the vision.

Scenario 2. Chloe is a mum of two young children and has been running a successful business for 7 years. She was feeling the strain that managing a household, bringing up two children and managing a growing business in touch times brings. She was experiencing anxiety, had problems sleeping and had lost sight of why she went into business for herself in the first place. She felt like she was doing all of the work and getting very little reward.

Her priorities were clearly to provide for her young family but she was loosing herself in the process.  The things she used to do to look after herself had fallen by the wayside and relationships and business were suffering as a result. Chloe used Discovery to tap into her core values, to reaffirm for herself what was really important and to crete a vision of how life could be. We distilled it down into the elements that needed to be present for her each day in order that she was living in a way that meant her values were fulfilled and that she was still able to provide for and support her family and business. As Chloe had previous experience of meditation and guided visualisation work we took the opportunity to go through a powerful process of releasing and letting go of those habits and beliefs that no longer supported her new vision. She experienced a feeling of burdens lifting, a lightness and release following the session. Life is now far less complicated for her. She clearly knows her priorities and limitations, she takes action daily to keep herself on track and was able to 2 key decisions during the session that she had been struggling with for over a year.

These are just two examples of how the unique Discovery process has been used and there are a number of other applications. To discus your unique requirements please call for a free no obligation phone consultation.

A discovery session will cost you just two hours of your time and £200. Sessions take place in Amersham, Buckinghamshire at mutually convenient times or we can arrange a skype session.
