Sailing, an analogy for coaching

The first marker on a sailboat race course is placed directly upwind.

A captain strategizes a zig-zag pathway with a navigator’s guidance to reach the marker because a sailboat cannot sail directly upwind.

As a navigation coach, I help clients chart their transition pathways (sometimes zig-zag) for choosing their responses to external influences (just as a captain responds to uncontrollable conditions of wind, waves and opponents, with guidance from a navigator)

and

help clients harness their core internal energy (just as a captain tactically adjusts sails and boat positions).

Final pathway decisions rest with

the captain, in sailing

the client, in coaching.

Guidance is offered by

the navigator to the captain, in sailing

the navigation coach to a client, in coaching.

Simply: a Navigation Coach helps individuals chart and pursue transition pathways towards thriving with capacity fueled by core energy

Peter’s ‘3rdAct’ : Coaching

The concept of '3rdAct' represents a phase of active involvement post-retirement, characterized by wisdom, authenticity, and wholeness. Approaching retirement from Ernst & Young (EY), where I was a senior partner and executive leader, I engaged with an executive coach to explore potential 3rdAct endeavors. This journey uncovered a path for me to shift into professional coaching, primarily influenced by two considerations.

First, it presented an opportunity to leverage my extensive experience in coaching and mentoring colleagues and clients throughout my tenure at EY. We had addressed both personal and professional issues, aiding them in succeeding as partners and leaders within EY, as corporate executives, and in their personal life.

Second, my decision was influenced by a lifelong commitment of fostering capacity for thriving in others, coupled with insights from my own transformative personal experiences as outlined in 'Meet Peter'.

Driven by a passion for coaching, a dedication to professional excellence, and an eagerness for ongoing development, I pursued industry-leading training at iPEC Coaching.
