I have been coaching with the Grid coaching tool for over eight years and the results are amazing. And now, I want to give more coaches a creative license to take something into the world, not charge them a license fee to use it and helping them make a positive change where they can. The world I see is one where more people are well and coaches are critical to this vision becoming reality across different sectors.

You can apply the Grid to your coaching practice right away – many coaches are already offering their clients amazing results with the Grid. It’s simple, flexible, and incredibly powerful. For coaches who are looking to gain a deeper, more integrated and holistic knowledge of this coaching tool, there is our Grid for Coaches training program.

Grid coaching exemplifies the ICF definition of coaching where clients go through a thought-provoking and creative process focussing on all aspects of their lives, giving them agency to review their potential for growth and make relevant changes. As a Grid Coach I am able to guide, reflect, observe and notice things whilst the client takes an active role in assessing their current situation, identifying changes they would like to make, and then setting goals to do this, all through the lens of their own personal Grid. – Katie Conley, Certified Grid Coach 2024

Five ways Grid helps coaches do better

When you use the Grid as your go-to coaching tool you and your clients will benefit from:

1. Coaching with confidence

A coach needs to have confidence for and in their client when the client often has doubt as well as the coaching process. Grid and our Grid for coaches training are designed to strengthen coaches’ confidence. It also helps the coach avoid burnout which is critical to their effectiveness as a coach.

Being experiential, our Grid for Coaches training helps you as a coach to deepen your skills of observation, share, and sensing.

These skills are transformative to powerful non-directive work. Grid framework makes it easy for you to move your client from stuck states or resistance to curiosity and a willingness to inquire and act.

Build confidence from with with Dr Magdalena Bak-Maier.

2. A powerful framework with a strong somatic element

The Grid offers an incredibly powerful framework. Grid is probably the only approach in the world that can effectively integrate the big picture with a daily execution. This means the coach and client cam turn ideas into results on a healthy basis right away.

As we’re always standing in our life, the Grid coaching tool invites clients to adopt a powerful existential perspective. This can be experienced somatically and energetically in a far more powerful way than just cognitively. We teach coaches how.

3. Robust and time-effective process

The Grid coaching process allows the coach to work deeply and authentically using different learning modalities. Including the power of somatically experiencing.

This means the client builds awareness without feeling overwhelmed. Their nervous system is kept in a resourceful and safely grounded state.

4. A culturally sensitive tool that supports healthy agency and self-care

Let’s face it productivity is a loaded term that can be further complicated by culture. With its emphasis of balance and mindful facing into what is, Grid helps coaches work in a profound and culturally sensitive manner.

Often your client’s responsibility to others (family and kids, work colleagues, their mission) gets in the way of self-care. This can drive people on relentlessly, giving rise to bad habits.

This vicious cycle drains confidence and increases anxiety. Grid coaching tackles this head-on with a practical and tech-free approach.

5. Progress that is clear to see

Coaching comes into it own because we need to feel witnessed, have someone cheering us on, and be held accountable. Most if not all great performers have a mentor or coach.

Grid gives the coach and client a fun and easy way to measure progress. It provides evidence of results as well as learning. Clients love the high degree of flexibility, and coaches get to know their clients better faster.

The need for Grid coaching is growing

We’re faced with a world where ever more people face a mental health and well-being pandemic, burnout and addiction are rising as is stress. Work morale is at an all time low and in spite of many well-being agendas and work from home measures, more and more people struggle. The cost of this is estimated to be 92 Billion just in the UK alone.

But, there is a larger social cost too. Kids well-being is also affected by adults who struggle to cope as are young people.

Grid aims to be one of many solutions when it comes to healthy productivity, health and well-being.
