Comments from Doug Silsbee, PCC about his and others’ pathway proposals:

Wow, far-reaching possibilities! I’m inspired to contribute this work on Presence-Based Coaching (#19) as we co-create a radical upgrade in our cultural operating system! Hmmm…we all embody habits born in prior stages of development. And, these habits may no longer serve our individual purpose nor the global transformation we all recognize is necessary. Central questions: How do we wake ourselves up into a more inclusive consciousness? Embody it? Sustain it? Breathe life into a different future? Be radical catalysts for our clients? Central answer: Start.

It’s exciting to see so many explorations of developmental models that help us describe the territory we’re moving through and into! Brian Hall’s work (#34/ Four Perspectives) and Ken Wilber and Don Beck (#11/ Integral Spiral Dynamics) have all made significant contributions to understanding this evolutionary perspective; how appropriate that these are on the table here for our feast!

#13 on Leadership Consciousness is intriguing; this stepping back from subject awareness to object awareness as the witness is how we accelerate our own development. This seems an important thread to this event, as we accelerate our collective co-creative process. Very exciting!

Thanks Doug, for sharing your thoughts. If you have something to say about the pathway proposals for the Co-active Summit, leave your comments below.

    I think these pathways really do represent the cutting edge of coaching. I am excited to open the discussion about how coaching is actually changing the brain and consciousness of both the coach and the client (Pathway 45, "Yes, but what are we really doing?"). To whatever degree we can use the amazing work from many disciplines, including neuroscience, it increases not only our legitimacy, but also our effectiveness as coaches.

    And no matter who is ultimately chosen, this will be a wonderful gathering of true thoughtleaders!
