What is Co-Active® Coaching?
4 Cornerstones – 5 Contexts – 3 Principles
Coach and client are equal partners
The word "Co-Active" means "collaborative," and is characterized by the relationship between the coach and the client as equal partners, working together to help the client live the life they truly desire.
Can be applied to any relationship in the world
Co-Active is based on the concept of a Designed Alliance, which is a relationship that is designed and sustained. For example, a relationship in which both parties feel equal and can express their true feelings can lead to new ideas and actions that can break through the challenges that plague us every day. We believe that by creating psychological safety in a relationship, people will think and act consciously and proactively.
Unshakable faith in human potential

Create essential and lasting change
At its core, Co-Active Coaching focuses on the person, not the matter, in order to bring about inner growth and change in the client's consciousness.
Gaining a new "story" to live your life
Co-Active Coaching deals with the values, perspectives, emotions, and self-limiting ideas and beliefs that hold them back, in what is usually called the "unconscious" realm, to radically rethink the "story" that drives the client's life. With this new story in hand, clients are able to create essential and lasting change in their own lives.
