Awaken your Path

Most people live in a world full of expectations. In our coaching, we choose to live by agreements.

​

Affirmation: I choose to establish clear agreements in my coaching journey. If I notice unmet expectations regarding our coaching, I'll recognize it as a cue to create a clear agreement and will communicate this to Frank.  

*A helpful resource: listen to Steve Chandler's take on Expectations vs. Agreements.

I commit to embracing a journey of spiritual growth during my coaching experience. 

 

Affirmation: I will remain open to insights, practices, and challenges that align with my spiritual path. I understand that growth often requires stepping out of my comfort zone, and I will welcome opportunities that encourage me to expand my awareness and connection with my higher self.

Everything we discuss is held in confidence. Share your experiences and insights but be mindful of exceptions to confidentiality like discussions with a primary partner, good friends, or mental health professional, without revealing names.  

​

Affirmation: I recognize this as a sacred space of confidentiality and can request additional privacy if needed.

Sometimes, our minds confuse discomfort with danger, convincing us we're unsafe when it's not true. In this coaching space, we may feel 'unsafe,' but we will notice the difference between discomfort and danger and remember how resilient we truly are.  

​

Affirmation: If I find myself feeling unsafe, I'll check in with my own resilience and physical safety. If any past trauma is triggered, I'll let Frank know and get supported by him. I will own my experience without labeling the situation. I'll aim to say yes to discomfort and discern between danger and discomfort.

The world often encourages us to hide ourselves. In our coaching, we reveal what is unseen. Honesty about both our light and shadow helps us create more space to see what’s true.  

 

Affirmation: I commit to being fully open and sharing when there is something unseen, even if I can't precisely identify it. I'll admit when I'm not playing at my best or fully present and will celebrate my victories with reckless abandon.

Magic doesn’t run on a schedule, and coaching doesn’t either. Some insights, clarity, and deep truths reveal themselves in a few minutes, and others slowly over weeks, months, and even years. Sometimes we may be at the edge of a breakthrough and we decide to go a few minutes over our time container. And, sometimes you may feel complete and you are ready to bound off and take immediate action. Other times we may go so deep that continuing would actually be of disservice to you, and we may choose with you to pause and give you space to breathe and be, no matter how much time we’ve set aside. 

Affirmation: I agree to honor insight first and use time as a container for deep practice, not as a bar to measure the power or depth of experience. If I feel complete, I will let Frank know. And, if I feel extra support would be of greatest service to me, I will make a request.

Investment of attention, money, and energy is a form of permission. A permission to give, receive, and exchange service. The greater the investment, the greater the exchange. We have committed to this adventure and this investment.

​

Affirmation:  I’m here and I’m all the way in. Even through the hard times. I understand there are no refunds. If I feel dissatisfied with my investment, I will let Frank know and we will discuss ways to bring the power back, possibilities moving forward, and other alternatives.

Being responsible means having the ability to choose your response to any situation.  

 

Affirmation: I understand I have three responses to any request or challenge Frank offers me: Yes, No, or Renegotiate. I also understand that Frank has the same responses to any request I make of him.

Most people show up in relationships (romantic, business, etc) as 50:50 partners. "I'll give 50% if you give 50%…"  That doesn't create an impactful and empowering relationship. The most powerful way to be in a relationship is 100% / 0% or I am 100% responsible and you are 0% responsible. This is how we will create our relationship. 

​

Affirmation: I commit to make this coaching experience a 100% to 0% Relationship. I agree to play full out and show up 100%.

Your ego and mind naturally resist change and recognizing blind spots. This resistance may manifest as not feeling safe or wanting to quit. Breakdowns are a normal part of growth, and addressing them early makes them workable. 

 

Affirmation: If I find myself thinking about quitting or harboring something against Frank, I'll bring this up directly to him. I understand there's no shame in wanting to quit or being in a breakdown, and getting supported can help me create a breakthrough.

When we work together, we can create magic. To do so, remember that you are the magician. I can offer guidance like Dumbledore, challenging you to grow, but only you can cast the spell that changes your life. You must own your magic for us to harness it and create the impossible. As your coach, I will remind you of your power if you forget.  

 

Affirmation: I understand that I bring the magic. I am responsible for showing up to calls and in our relationship with powerful questions, content, energy, and engagement. I do not expect Frank to do the work for me. I am responsible for my actions, choices, thoughts, and feelings. I do not rely on Frank as my hero or savior; it's on me to create the success I desire in my life.

While we strive to be impeccable with our word, being human means sometimes we don't keep our commitments.  

​

Affirmation: In this coaching relationship, I commit to keeping my word or correcting where I haven't followed through. For example, "I didn't do the homework because it didn't feel good to me." I will acknowledge my actions honestly and we both can re-commit to a solution.

A solid coaching container relies on time, space, attention, and communication.

  

Affirmations: 

Time: I commit to arriving on time and will notify Frank if I'll be late or need to reschedule. I will email Frank at info@frank-guenther.com 24 hours in advance if I anticipate missing a call so that we can reschedule.

Space: I will ensure my coaching space is comfortable and secure, and Frank will do the same.  

​

Attention: I will focus on the session and minimize distractions.  

Communication: I will practice clear, powerful communication with Frank and outline any specific needs in emails or via Whatsapp or other Messengers.

Honesty helps others when delivered with heart.  

​

Affirmation: I agree to practice compassionate candor with myself and with Frank to foster safety and honesty. We'll co-create a brave space, own our judgments, and be skillful in our expression.

While Frank holds himself to high standards, it's essential to uphold your own standards of integrity.  

​

Affirmation: I agree to show up as powerful as I am for myself and others in alignment with my ethical guidelines. I'll abide by these guidelines with Frank and others.
