Coaching for Changemakers
The Journey
You are carrying the responsibility of creating change.
The questions, the complexity, the people, the possibilities, the weight of knowing that something needs to be different.
This is a place to put some of that down.
A space to pause, listen and make sense of what you are carrying, so you can see the system around you, find where your influence lies, and choose what is yours to tend.
Because you were never meant to carry the whole ecosystem alone.
ROOT
— What grounds me?
Pause and listen beneath the noise.
What do I care about?
What am I carrying?
What gives me strength, and what is asking to be tended?
SEED
— What wants to grow?
Find the possibility within the complexity.
What change are you here to nurture? What values, ideas or intentions are ready to become action?
CANOPY
— How do I reach for the light?
Look up and outward.
Navigate power, relationships and stakeholders, find your points of influence, and explore how your work can create space for others to grow too.
ECOSYSTEM
— What am I part of?
Step back and see the wider web.
What relationships sustain the work?
Where can you collaborate, reciprocate and contribute?
How can you keep growing without having to carry the whole forest yourself?
“Marla was able to hold the space for me and let me dive into my feelings and emotions.
She also was asking very helpful questions about me and what she could sense or heard me saying.
She reflected how I stopped smiling for a long while and other signs she saw through observation of my words and body language.
I felt very much seen and I could relax so deeply into the topic that I was very surprised by what was coming to the surface, hidden somewhere deep inside me.”
