Creating Change Through Cognitive Behavioral Coaching Strategies

Understanding the link between mental models and behaviors

Philosopher William James said, “The greatest discovery of our generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. As you think, so shall you be.”.

As coaches, we work with our clients to identify and reflect on ways of thinking that can be limiting so that new perspectives and lenses may evolve and lead to positive change and personal growth. Now, more than ever, it is important to have the capacity to think differently, to reimagine situations in our lives with a sense of hope and possibility.
