3 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on taking the initiative to do this very important work! We call this work Personal Groundwork for Coaching® since it is the underpinnings for creating a solid platform in which to build upon. Most people who come to coaching are looking to attain specific goals. Usually, they are goals that result in building something. A business, a career path, better skills, a transitioning strategy, even a better life, to name a few. Without awareness and definition in some key areas attaining these goals can be difficult, even impossible. Coaching is a holistic process. This means the whole person is being coached, not just their goals or results. When coaching the whole person, the coach needs to be aware that while the person being coached may have engaged with them for goals they have in the workplace, their progress in creating solutions and taking action may be affected by what is happening in their personal life, and vice versa. Finding this out and getting to core components may be a lengthy process for both the coach and the person being coached. This work helps both the coach and the person being coached identify and strategize around these core components that most likely will affect the progress and efficacy of the coaching. It will also bring to light key areas that help the person being coached to think bigger and broader about what they want to attain. And finally, this program will help the coach and the person being coached to define clear decisionmaking filters to align with as they progress in their endeavors. This program is broken down into three core concepts with ten sub-concepts. The core concepts are: 1 Building Resiliency 2 Breaking Free 3 Aligning with your Personal Integrity
