Integral Leadership Development Coaching – 1 to 1 business coaching
A Systemic, Human-Centered Approach to Executive and Business Coaching
In today’s complex business environment, leadership is no longer just about skills, performance, or strategy. It is about how you see, how you decide, and how you show up — under pressure, in uncertainty, and at moments of real consequence.
Ways of Being offers a Leadership Development Coaching program designed for business-minded individuals who sense that their current way of leading, working, or deciding has reached its limits — even if it still “works” on the surface.
This is executive coaching and business coaching rooted in Integral methodology: a structured, research-based approach that develops not only what you do as a leader, but who you are becoming while doing it.
The result is not quick fixes or surface-level optimization, but durable leadership capacity — clarity, presence, and choice in complex systems.
Who This Coaching Is For
This program is designed for
- Executives, founders, and senior leaders
- Business-minded professionals navigating growth, transition, or increased responsibility
- Leaders operating in complexity, ambiguity, or high-stakes environments
- Individuals who are successful yet feel a subtle misalignment, plateau, or internal friction
- Those seeking leadership development that integrates strategy, psychology, embodiment, and systems thinking
Clients come with different motivations — performance, clarity, impact, sustainability, meaning — but share one thing in common: they know development must happen at the level of being, not just behavior.
What Makes This Leadership Development Program Different
Most executive coaching focuses on goals, behaviors, or mindset in isolation. While useful, this often leaves deeper patterns untouched — the invisible structures that shape how leaders perceive, react, and decide.
Ways of Being works with the whole system of leadership.
This program is grounded in the methodology developed by Integral Coaching Canada, a globally respected approach informed by developmental psychology, adult development research, and Integral Theory.
Rather than asking “What should you do differently?”
we explore
- How your current way of being generates both strengths and limitations
- What internal structures are shaping your leadership patterns
- What new way of being is trying to emerge — and how to stabilize it
- How development becomes embodied, not just understood
This creates leadership growth that is systemic, sustainable, and deeply human.
Where it happens
The Integral Coaching Methodology
Change and Transformation doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens in the field between us. Every conversation, every silence, every shift of awareness becomes part of the change itself.
- Inner experience (thinking, emotions, meaning-making)
- Outer behavior (actions, habits, presence, communication)
- Relationships and culture (how leadership lands in others)
- Systems and structures (organizations, roles, environments)
Rather than working on one area in isolation, this approach integrates all of them — allowing leaders to develop in a way that matches the real complexity of modern business.
Key principles include
Developmental Focus
We identify where you are developmentally, not just what you want to improve. This ensures the coaching meets you at the right level — challenging enough to foster growth, grounded enough to be actionable.
Current Way → New Way of Being
Every program works with a clear developmental arc:
- Your Current Way of Being — effective, familiar, but limited
- Your New Way of Being — more adaptive, coherent, and future-ready
This creates direction and coherence throughout the coaching journey.
Practice-Based Integration
Insight alone does not create change. Each cycle includes custom-designed practices that allow new capacities to be lived, tested, and embodied in real leadership contexts.
The Leadership Development Coaching
Program Structure
Duration & Rhythm
- 8 sessions on average
- Sessions occur every three weeks
- Designed as a developmental journey, not isolated conversations
This pacing allows insight to integrate into daily leadership life — decisions, meetings, relationships, and systems — rather than staying conceptual.
Program Phases
Intake & Developmental Assessment
We begin by understanding:
- Your leadership context and challenges
- The patterns that currently organize how you lead
- Your strengths — and where they quietly become constraints
This forms the foundation for a precise and personalized developmental focus.
Clarifying the Developmental Edge
Together, we articulate:
- Your Current Way of Being as a leader
- The New Way of Being that is ready to emerge
- The specific capacities your leadership needs next
This clarity becomes the compass for the entire coaching engagement.
Cycles of Development (CODs)
Each cycle includes:
- Deep coaching conversations
- Targeted leadership development practices
- Reflection and integration
These cycles allow new ways of seeing, deciding, and acting to stabilize over time.
Embodied Leadership Integration
Leadership is not only cognitive. We work with:
- Somatic awareness and presence
- How leadership shows up in the body under pressure
- Energy management, pacing, and regulation
This supports leaders in becoming more grounded, clear, and effective — even in high-intensity environments.
Outcomes You Can Expect
While each journey is unique, leaders commonly experience:
- Greater clarity in complex decision-making
- A more grounded and confident leadership presence
- Increased capacity to work with uncertainty and paradox
- Less reactivity, more choice under pressure
- Leadership that feels aligned, sustainable, and authentic
- Stronger impact without burnout or over-efforting
This is leadership development that changes how leadership feels on the inside — and how it lands on the outside.
Executive Coaching for Complexity and Growth
The leaders of today operate inside fast-moving systems organizational, technological, cultural, and human. Linear solutions are no longer sufficient.
This executive coaching program supports leaders to:
- Hold multiple perspectives without losing clarity
- Act decisively without collapsing complexity
- Lead from coherence rather than control
By developing the leader, not just the role, the impact extends naturally into teams, culture, and strategy.
Ways of Being was created to bridge human development and real-world leadership.
- Integral theory and adult development research
- Executive and business coaching
- Embodied practice and systems thinking
- Rigorous, not abstract
- Human, not mechanical
- Transformational, not performative
Working Together
Ways of Being is not about fixing leaders. It is about developing the capacity to lead what is next.
This leadership development coaching program is offered as a 1:1 engagement, tailored to your leadership context, responsibilities, and developmental edge.
If you are navigating growth, transition, or complexity — and sense that your next level of leadership requires a deeper shift — this work is designed for you.
