This document introduces a "Life Framework" approach to personal and professional development facilitated by life coaches. It presents farming/gardening as a metaphor for conscious living. Individual life is seeded with natural wishes that can be nurtured to fruition with the help of a "Life Nourisher" who provides reflection, goal-setting and weed removal. On a collective level, the framework addresses nurturing an environment where individuals can fulfill basic needs and gain experience and ways to contribute to family and society. The document suggests engaging life coaches as Life Nourishers to help consciously guide success stories across one's whole life using this integrated framework approach.
2. Background
This whole work started with the intent of adding value to two conscious entities who
are at the CUSP of transition. One the STUDENTS, who are not too far away in taking the
plunge into starting their professional life and the other being the CORPORATE start ups
(Entrepreneurs) who have dreamt BIG and both of them need alliances in their Journey.
This creates a potential opportunity to Life coaches like us. We too have dream to add
value by exposing our clients to different dimensions of life. This has given birth to Life
framework, which we are trying to spread awareness on as the first phase of our
Journey on co-creations.
So please feel free to share the work with the target audience that you may know of
and can benefit from it or would like to partner with us. This presentation, just
provides a high level blue print, so if it generates more interests on the reader’s mind,
we would be happy to organize live sessions!
Please note, this initiative would be delivered by group of life coaches collaborating
together with their unique specialization on transforming lives.
Thanks for being the source in transforming lives!
