Guidance from an MCC accredited Integral Master Coach

Within a small committed group of no more than 12 participants you will receive personalized coaching input from Anne, a coach who's worked with many leaders in private, public and voluntary sectors. Anne has trained coaches on three continents with Integral Coaching Canada.

Grow Yourself as a Coach

As you know, reliable coaching starts with you doing your own work. You will have support to see places where you are drawing back from life's possibilities or protecting yourself from despair... Throughout the five sessions, as you deepen your skills you will also be working on your self. We will integrate real coaching sessions in each session.

From a Colleague who Knows Anne:

"Anne Wright is an extraordinary coach and teacher of coaches. She is one of the great exemplars of Integral Coaching Canada’s coaching method. Her technique is masterful; her wisdom is deep; her compassion for her clients is boundless. As a result, Anne consistently enables her clients to see themselves and their world in a whole new way, and to develop the concrete skills to operationalize that new perspective.
As a teacher of coaches, Anne is unparalleled. Her own love of learning infuses every lecture, exercise and demonstration. So learning from Anne is a vibrant and safe journey to new territory.
If you have the opportunity to be coached or taught by Anne Wright, don’t let it pass you by."

Leslie Williams, Integral Master Coach, fellow faculty member, ICC, 2008

Why Now?

Why now? Because too many of us are coping with the enormity of challenges we are facing on the planet by falling back on our old strategies.

How do you cope with issues like climate change, seemingly intractable injustice, ongoing conflict?

Do you:

  • get more pure: clean up your own act and live as purely as you can?

  • focus on the achievable: try not to think about it and focus your attention on things you can change?

  • scan more intently: scroll and scan looking for signs telling you how we're doing? And worry?

These strategies keep you small and limit your horizons of action and impact.

More and more our clients are facing seemingly dire situations that has them either frozen in fear or on overdrive.

Are you limiting your clients' capacity with your own limitations in hope?

"Active hope is a practice -- something we do rather than have. It is a process we can apply to any situation and it doesn't require optimism"

Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone, Active Hope, 2016
