Creative Space for Coaching Builds New Dimensions and Solutions

Coaching can also be a creative journey together – for exploring and experimenting

In our coaching sessions, you can test and implement several creative methods if you wish. These methods can relate to listening to oneself, interacting with others, understanding the whole world, creative planning and better creativity, and making more sustainable choices in life.

Together in your coaching process or in a group process with the whole group, we investigate what kind of creative and experimental approaches would suit you. A few examples are presented on this page, e.g., from physical, dramatic, and narrative methods as well as visual work or free writing to movement in nature and retreats. We have found many forms and ways of working, e.g., from our creative design and communication background, philosophical and pedagogical research, Pilates, body and breathing training, and the Focusing method. The Co-Active and PQ Coaching methods also offer creative and practical tools. Tell us your goals and we will offer you options.

Coaching is a deeply personal journey, tailored to your unique needs. We provide support through a range of effective facilitation methods, ensuring your experience is truly individual.

Focusing

Focusing means careful and curious, gentle and accepting listening to the body

You get to try Focusing under the guidance of a coach. It is a method originally developed by Eugene Gendlin, which includes precise attunement to body sensations, to discover new insights. Focusing is used to strengthen gentle self-awareness and emotional balance – paying closer attention to the body’s sensations of meaning. Everyone can learn to focus and interpret body messages more precisely in their own way. The training rewards quickly and deepens if you regularly include it in your routine. You will notice that thinking, meeting people, and understanding yourself can be tuned to a new, smoother, and deeper level by focusing.

Developing breathing skills and parasympathetic nervous system activation exercises

Especially in the CLUES Stress Coaching and PQ Positive Intelligence program, attention is paid to good breathing and its importance for the balance of the nervous system. Most of the time, we specifically need breathing exercises that activate the parasympathetic, i.e. restorative, part of the nervous system. In our programs, you get to learn the secrets of breathing, and if you want, you get to deepen the teachings of a Pilates and stress-recovery instructor. In addition to breathing exercises, we guide you in numerous activation exercises based on the senses. With the exercises, you get a new space for being and functioning: you prevent burdensome thought patterns caused by stress, the activation of self-sabotaging, and various obstacles and bottlenecks in functioning. A holistic approach means that you consider the whole body and practice the mind-body connection more precisely. This important skill always stays with you, regardless of the situation.

Nature connection

We also invite you to work with us in nature, from short experiments to longer retreats. Over the years, we have organized various nature-based working days for teams and companies from the sea to the forest and Lapland. Nordic Coaching means to us that the northern nature dimension of coaching is a natural element for us. We work with both individuals and groups in nature. Our team also includes professional climbing and hiking nature guides. We also consider nature connection elements in our coaching tools, web and remote coaching. What kind of relationship with nature do you or your team have and would you like to improve that? Ask more!

Philosophical, artistic work and creative expression

In many of our coaching processes, we also work with art, creative expression, or drama and narrative methods. The scale of artistic work is wide. It can start with art exhibition visits, art experiments, theater experiments, and drama group work. Our team also has professionals in creative and academic art professions. We build creative processes for different groups, whose experiential impact often takes the coaching process to new levels. If you are interested in creative and artistic work in coaching, ask about our examples in more detail.

Our philosophical approach is ontological and hermeneutical. The GLOWUP process describes it best. Coaching progresses step by step and deepens a person’s understanding of himself and others with the support of philosophical questions and reflections. We have many years of experience applying the hermeneutic process to coaching work. You can book a free GLOWUP working trial: tuulikirsikka@thewind.fi
