ALIVE Coaching Model
There is a persistent tension at the heart of professional coaching: the field has developed rich conceptual frameworks for understanding human change, yet the most widely taught models often reduce that complexity to a sequence of steps. The client arrives, articulates a goal, receives structured questions, leaves with a plan. The loop is clean. It is also frequently insufficient.
"The ALIVE model is an attempt to hold two things at once: rigorous enough to orient a complex engagement, and open enough to follow a human being into whatever is actually alive for them today."
Poseidon and Power
Do you hear the call of Poseidon?
Some time ago, a friend did. He stood on the wild shores of Portugal and felt the power.
Power. Poseidon’s power. Do you want to feel it too?
Hell yes. Doesn’t everybody these days?
But do you also know that Poseidon is nothing without Amphitrite? Yes, she is the stabilizing force. Do you remember who was there before Poseidon? Do you know Nereus?
Everything Good
I wish everything good, for my good, for the good of everyone!
I see everything good, for my good, for the good of everyone!
I accept everything good, for my good, for the good of everyone!
Struggle for what you love
“It’s really easy to fight against what you hate, it’s really hard to struggle for what you love!”

Proverbs
Abandoned is better than possessed.
Serving an invisible master is the worst.
Outer power unmatched by inner is a malady.
