Orenda Coaching Model
BEET™
Orenda takes a systemic view to Coaching looking at individuals as a part of the larger system. Individual interacting with the system and system interacting with individual creating its own unique dynamics.
This occurs due the individuals unique ways of functioning driven by their thoughts, emotions and BELIEFS. Coach explores this.
Relationships thrive only in TRUSTing environments. Hence interactions are effective or ineffective based on the trust built and sustained.
No individual exisits in isolation hence Effective Engagement and Effective Relationships are critical components of how individuals relate and engage with their eco systems. This aspect is a key differentiator in a successful Coaching Intervention
Working with Self and Working with Others – the pillars of leadership success !
Orenda’s Coaching approach
Orenda’s Coaching approach is based on the firm conviction that inner wisdom guides every Client in his/her journey and the Coach enables reflection and insight through mindful presence and unconditional regard for the Coachee. The Client understands that he/she is the primary agent of change and co-creator of development plan, while the Coach can provide the necessary support by establishing and nurturing an environment of trust.
Coach is the Sakhi, the friend who nudges, encourages, humours, walks with the Client towards their insight.
Coach is the Sakshi , the witness who dispassionately reflects the Client’s thoughts, feelings, actions towards their own reflections and insight.
Client Testimonials
As a novice I liked how she patiently nudged to unlearn and as an industry veteran who has worked globally, I enjoyed how she helped me with my transformation. Ultimately what I learn as a coach is what it takes to make people effective and transform – much of this came from my discussions with her in class and in mentoring sessions
The learning and developmental challenge is positioned softly and i always find that you have an insight that builds a powerful distinction. It is is not run-of-the-mill, re-purposed thoughts and words. I enjoy the way you engage and help me deepen coaching competencies by riding on something that is “alive and happening” for me. Like the session on self coaching, it emerged from a life situation for me and the way you handled it was so sensitive and yet incisive.
Priya is somebody I admire for the sheer depth she can go into in a coaching session. She has the ability to listen deeply and ask powerful questions. It makes the client feel empowered and think much more deeply then they have ever done in the past. Her ability to create trust and provide the sense of safety in a coaching session, lets the client open up without fear of judgment. She is a brilliant coach and mentor who takes their client on a journey of self awareness and achieve what they are looking for.
Priya is a very effective Coach, with a very high level of empathy. She naturally possesses a very breezy and empowering style. She has the ability to address a variety of leadership and behavioural challenges of a corporate leader, which very few Coaches possess
Priya has a calm and logical method of coaching. During the one-on-one sessions, with just a few judicious observations and questions, she is able to connect the dots and help me draw assessments on my own.
A blend of process orientation with deep intuitiveness crowns her approach to coaching and provides rhythm to the client relationship.
Was very impactful as I learned. Many Thanks.
It was indeed one of the very impactful workshop
