Coaching

Q4 Consulting practices integral coaching, which actively engages the whole person—not just one's business self or family role. Our collaborative style means that we are fully present during coaching sessions, listening intently and deeply connected. We partner with you to determine the best course of action. Q4 coaches independent individuals, as well as leaders and leadership teams as part of a larger business consulting engagement.

Our holistic approach results in three things: improved competence or ‘growth from the inside out;’ an enhanced sense of personal well-being; and a deeper connection with one's self, others, and 'what's important' in life. 

Integral coaching provides significant returns to you — in your business and your life. Some reasons thousands of people have hired a coach: 

• Developing leadership presence
• Increasing emotional intelligence
• Balancing life & work
• Tapping into hidden talents & capabilities
• Increasing personal resiliency
• Developing your business
• Engaging conflict creatively
• Implementing effective communication skills
• Aligning with your life values
• Fostering creativity & innovation

Each of us has a unique way of approaching and engaging with the world in order to obtain the goals we've set out for ourselves. Some of our strategies work effectively; some are outworn, outdated or overused.

Those working with Q4 Consulting in an integral coaching relationship have found it to be a stimulating and exciting time of exploration of what's working and what's not, re-focusing on 'what's important,' and working a plan to move toward optimal performance. Not for the faint of heart!  

When people’s daily lives line up with what's important to them and they are skilled to engage with the challenges at hand, well-being and connection with others occurs—both in business and in life. Individuals

more effectively live their values and contribute to their organizations, businesses, families and communities in meaningful ways.This is our ultimate goal at Q4 Consulting.

The Process

An Integral Coaching Program involves anywhere from 6 - 18

months and consists of three phases:

• Getting to Know You
• Discovery & Custom Design
• Coaching Sessions

After the initial phase of getting to know you and your primary challenges and concerns, a custom coaching program is built specifically for you.

Integral coaching focuses on you, your development, your business, your life. 

Integral Leadership Coaching

Coaching specifically targeted to executives, thought leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs. Only by knowing and developing one's self and one's flexibility to roll with the everyday punches of work, can leaders create the environments that allow their organizations to be wildly successful. Individuals may engage Q4 independently, or we often work with executives as part of a larger business consulting relationship.

        "An executive’s manual dexterity in using (their self)

         as an instrument will be only as good as their knowledge

         of themselves. Knowing what their instrument is capable

         of doing, enables them to capitalize on strengths. Being

         aware of what it cannot do, makes it possible for them

         to limit the damage done by weaknesses. Executives who

         operate in this heads-up way perform much more

         effectively because they adapt better to the

         ever-changing situation —they are more flexible.”

                                                    - R.E. Kaplan, PhD.
