OUR LEADERSHIP COACHING METHOD
The Ways of Being Leadership Method
The Ways of Being method is a leadership coaching approach grounded in Integral Coaching® and developmental psychology. It meets leaders where they are — and works across mind, body, and real-world context to create the kind of change that lasts.
This isn’t skills training. It’s a methodology for how leaders grow — from the inside out.
Most senior leaders arrive at a point where competence is no longer the issue. You're capable. You deliver. But something isn't quite working the way it used to.
The pace feels relentless. Your patterns — the ones that got you here — feel limiting rather than enabling. Clarity is just out of reach. You’re performing, but not always connected to the leadership you know you’re capable of.
This is the challenge that executive coaching at Ways of Being is designed for: not fixing what’s broken, but unlocking what’s next. Research shows that leaders who develop self-awareness alongside strategic capability outperform their peers by up to 25% (Korn Ferry). The gap isn’t knowledge — it’s integration.
Ways of Being Leadership Coaching
Your Leadership Development Journey
Our executive coaching approach blends Integral Coaching® — one of the most rigorously developed coaching methodologies in the world — with embodied practice and systems thinking.
It’s a living methodology: rooted in reflection, grounded in real-world application, and designed specifically for leaders navigating complexity. Rather than offering generic leadership frameworks, we help you develop the capacities that matter most: seeing your own patterns clearly, leading under pressure with composure, and creating the conditions for your team and organization to thrive.
This is leadership development that works because it changes how you operate — not just what you know.
Where Executive Coaching Begins
We begin by seeing you as a whole system — not just your leadership skills, but how your thinking patterns, emotional habits, physical state, and organizational context all interact.
Instead of fixing isolated behaviors, we look for the deeper currents shaping how you lead. This systems-level view is what makes our business coaching approach fundamentally different from conventional executive development programs.
An Integral Approach to Leadership Coaching
Drawing from Integral Coaching® and systems thinking, we work across four dimensions: how you think (mind), how you carry yourself (body), how you relate (relationships), and how your organization shapes you (context).
Each coaching session connects insight with practice. Between sessions, you work with embodied exercises designed for your specific leadership challenges — not generic homework, but practices that change how you show up in your actual meetings, decisions, and conversations.
"Real leadership change happens when leaders begin to see themselves as a whole system — mind, body, relationships, and context — and lead from that integrated awareness, moment by moment."

Client Testimonial
Over time in your leadership coaching journey, you begin to see your leadership patterns more clearly — not through analysis alone, but through a living picture of how you operate as a leader.
This picture becomes both mirror and map: showing where your strengths create unintended costs, where your defaults limit your range, and where small shifts can create significant change across your team and organization.
The process isn’t intellectual — it’s embodied. Insight lands in the body, in real-time decisions, in how you show up under pressure. This is what makes integral executive coaching transformative rather than just informative.
What Changes
Through ongoing coaching, something fundamental shifts in how you lead. The pace of your organization may stay the same, but your relationship to it changes. Decisions carry more clarity. Difficult conversations become less draining. Your team begins to operate differently — not because you’ve told them to, but because you’ve changed the quality of your presence.
Leaders who complete our coaching program consistently report: greater composure under pressure, stronger relationships with their teams, clearer decision-making, and a sustainable way of leading that doesn’t require burning out to deliver results.
This is what embodied leadership development looks like in practice.
