Field Coaching
A Quick Path To Better Choices

Field Coaching offers such an ingenious and wonderful approach, it stands way out from other coaching models, which tend to 'repair' and give 'recipes' for this and that, and in the long term aren't very effective. Actually, Field Coaching can’t be compared with other models, because it works on the side of consciousness-as-cause and therefore is unique.

The choice is ever ours, but our choices about what we're believing may be and often are unwitting–which means that our reality is being informed by unexamined conclusions, habit, or payoffs we've outgrown. Field Coaching is a powerful resource for identifying those beliefs that are shaping our experience so that we can choose wittingly to "believe it or not." Its aim is to call out unwitting beliefs that, while serving some good end, may be exacting a price that has become too high—to identify and articulate better choices, and to provide clarity in making them.

Field Coaching uses a Socratic method to examine assumptions, underlying beliefs, and unwitting choices, in order to support shifts out of resistance, willfulness, contradiction, and suffering and into greater awareness, creative authority, joy, and self-friendship. The result is immediate relief inwardly, with corresponding shifts in factual reality showing up in due course. In order to gain the most benefit from the experience, those considering Field Coaching should be prepared to bring these things to the session:

• the willingness to let go of old benefits in favor of new and better ones
• the willingness to have even long valued assumptions questioned
• an uncompromising commitment to honest self-disclosure
• the readiness to take the responsibility required to make better choices

Field Coaching is offered as a single session or as a block of sessions. Note that a single session usually is sufficient to resolve whatever the issue may be, provided that the above prerequisites are met. In some cases, ongoing consultation may be desired and useful, e.g., executives in a corporate or organizational setting who want regular access to "philosophical counseling" based on Field training principles.

Note that it is not necessary to have taken the Field Center Course to benefit from Field Coaching.

A Field Coach is a trained listener, experienced and skilled in the art of discerning underlying intentions, identifying contradictions, and framing solutions. Here are some situations in which Field Coaching might prove useful:

• a romantic couple who feel stuck and at the end of their rope
• a busy executive struggling with an intractable problem at work or at home
• someone suffering from chronic health issues even though doctors can find nothing wrong
• a person who can never seem to make ends meet
• an individual unsettled by the persistent sense that there is something essential missing
• someone who always seems to end up on the losing end of things
• a person who is undecided about life direction
• anyone who feels stuck, contradicted, or overwhelmed by any situation
  

How is Field Coaching Different from Field Center Facilitating?
Field Coaching is not Facilitating. Its aim is to shed light on unwitting beliefs relevant to a specific problem so that the client is in a better position to release the old, unwitting choice in favor of a new, better, deliberate, and more fulfilling one. Field Coaching is informational. Facilitating, on the other hand, provides a firsthand experience of a new and better identity, along with instructions for remaining in alignment with it. The aim is experiential. Both methods are educational; neither is therapeutic. A Field Coaching session takes 20-30 minutes, while a Facilitating session lasts 45-60 minutes. Those who are looking primarily to understand in a new way how they're playing a role in whatever problem has their attention are good candidates for Field Coaching. Facilitating is for those looking for a more thorough "rite of passage" experience.

How is Field Coaching Different from Traditional Life Coaching?
Field Coaching is based on Field training principles, the most important of which is that our reality corresponds to the choices we make, wittingly or unwittingly, about who we are and “how things are,” or what’s real. Consequently, it aims to shed light on these choices rather than on the quantifiable results that flow inevitably from them. So, for example, while traditional life coaching might focus on helping someone manage his or her time more efficiently, reduce or eliminate clutter, move up the career ladder faster, restore self-esteem, or be a better parent, Field Coaching examines the usually unexamined beliefs, assumptions, and conclusions that are creating and sustaining the need for such goals, for these beliefs, assumptions, and conclusions are the true cause of whatever situation needs improving. Once a better belief is in place, a better reality follows effortlessly and inevitably. Field Coaching, then, is ontological rather than psychological. It deals not just with making better choices (all life coaching does this much), but with making better choices about who we are and what’s real. As Field Coaching works with the deepest and most influential beliefs that we can hold—beliefs about identity and reality—results are typically quick, dramatic, and lasting.
