Photon Coaching & Mentoring
Introducing Photon Coaching, our proprietary coaching and mentoring methodology that helps you see yourself with greater clarity, connection, and compassion. By deepening your self-awareness and reconnecting with your authentic self, you'll develop a clearer understanding of your thoughts, feelings, desires, and needs - empowering you to intentionally shape your future self: the fullest, most aligned expression of who you choose to become.
Why ‘Photon’?
When something is observed, it changes. This scientific principle is the foundation of the space we co-create with clients in Photon Coaching sessions - a space defined by compassion, exquisite listening, relational holding, and deep exploration.
When observed, we become
The quantum double-slit experiment, originally demonstrated with light by Thomas Young in 1801 and later with electrons by Claus Jönsson in 1961, reveals that particles like electrons and photons display both wave-like and particle-like behaviour. When unobserved, they appear to pass through both slits simultaneously, creating an interference pattern - behaving as waves. But when observed to determine which slit they pass through, the pattern disappears, and they act as individual particles. In essence, the act of observation shapes what they become.
That’s the essence of Photon Coaching & Mentoring: creating a space where you can observe yourself and be witnessed with compassion and clarity - to explore who you are today, envision who you want to become, and intentionally shape the path to get there, guided by the future self you consciously choose.
Coaching or mentoring, or both?
Coaching and mentoring enhance personal power, confidence, and capacity. They help you navigate complex issues, test new ideas, envision your future self, deepen self-awareness, and build emotional resilience and intelligence.
We adapt our approach based on your unique needs: when coaching is needed, we apply ICF PCC-level techniques to evoke awareness and empower clients to solve their own problems and gain new perspectives. In mentoring, we offer guidance, advice, and suggestions based on over a decade of experience, tailoring both methods for a customised experience that meets your unique needs.
