Integral coach
"I serve as a guide for people navigating their everyday challenges. Often, individuals find themselves trapped in cycles of self-imposed obstacles and unrealized potential. My role is to assist them in viewing their lives and themselves from multiple perspectives, fostering self-awareness about their current approaches to life's situations and relationships. Through this process, I help them identify and pursue pathways for personal growth.My clients vary, ranging from business executives to individuals who have lost touch with their core selves. I specialize in working with those who are earnestly seeking change and are ready to embrace it without fear or hesitation."
WHAT IS AN INTEGRAL COACHING?
"The integral coaching method draws upon Ken Wilber's Integral Theory and Robert Kegan's insights in adult developmental psychology. At its core, integral coaching is a transformative process and practice aimed at altering our unconscious thought patterns and behaviors that hinder us from achieving our life goals. By utilizing tools provided by an integral coach, individuals gain insight into their habitual ways of thinking and acting, enabling them to develop a broad range of sustainable skills for approaching situations and relationships more effectively towards their desired outcomes.Integral coaching is fundamentally a journey of personal development, focusing on future possibilities rather than past experiences. Unlike approaches that delve into past traumas, integral coaching emphasizes forward-looking self-discovery and growth.The benefits of integral coaching are manifold and applicable in diverse contexts. It aids those who feel lost or distracted, guiding them towards clarity and action to fulfill their aspirations. It's particularly beneficial for individuals hindered by repeated mistakes or who struggle to implement meaningful life changes.This coaching journey is an inward exploration aimed at achieving a holistic understanding of oneself. It cultivates a state of consciousness where one is fully aware of their knowledge, in tune with their emotions, and confident in their perception and interpretation of the world and their reality."
About me
"I firmly believe that a truly fulfilled life begins with self-knowledge. My own decade-long journey of self-development has led me from life's deepest lows to a pivotal realization: our most crucial task is to truly meet and understand ourselves. To reach our full potential and live the life we desire, we must delve deeply into our personalities and grasp a complete picture of who we are. Embracing both our restrictive and liberative beliefs helps us move inward, closer to our authentic selves. Otto Scharmer's Theory U eloquently encapsulates this concept, highlighting that within us lies both the darkest night and the brightest guiding light.My coaching career started at Fontes EE, where I learned about career coaching. At Swedbank, I assisted bank employees and business managers contemplating career changes, seeking new qualifications, or doubting their skills after long tenures. My journey continued at Luminor, where I combined business management with further coaching studies under various mentors, including a program with Leda Turai (MCC coach LT).In 2021, I graduated from Integral Coaching Canada, followed by completing my Integral Professional Coach certification in 2022.WORK EXPERIENCEOver the past decade, primarily at financial institutions like Swedbank and Luminor, I have led educational programs focusing on leadership, brand creation, personal well-being, and humanity in organizations. My role has also encompassed human resource consulting and hosting the 'HR PODCAST.' A significant part of my work involves closely collaborating with leadership teams to refine their leadership styles and explore their individual characteristics.CERTIFICATIONS AND EDUCATIONBachelor's degree in Pedagogy, University of Latvia
