Choose-Your-Own-Investment Coaching Package
Access 1:1 support for your transformation experience with an investment commitment that feels inspiring for you
With so much perceived chaos and uncertainty in the world at the moment, prioritizing your own care is not easy. I acknowledge you for what it took to get here and I am so glad you made it.
I was taking an afternoon walk in the woods behind my home.
I am new to the area so there is much to explore. I found a new pathway that took me deep into the forest. After a very long and enjoyable wander, I arrived at a beautiful green space. The change in scenery interrupted my thoughts and it occurred to me how cold and dark it was getting. I was under dressed for the temperature drop and I did not want to be finding my back through the woods in the dark. I was suddenly feeling an urgency.
My apartment building is tall and I could see it above the trees in the distance which led me to believe there was a short cut to get home, rather than the path I had arrived on. I quickly started off on the only other path I could see leading back into the trees. Within 15 minutes the path had dropped me down a steep hill and came to an abrupt end at the river. By this point I was near frantic and stumbled back up the hill. I jogged back to the green space and on to my original path. I ran the whole way home to make it out of the valley before dark!
Yesterday, I was again exploring in the forest. I saw a narrow opening to a trail I hadn’t taken just a few steps from my home. It was secluded and there was no one else on it to worry about keeping 2 meters from. Imagine my surprise when in just 15 minutes I emerged into the big green space that I had found myself in a few weeks earlier! In fact the path I emerged out of the forest on, was not 10 feet from the shortcut I had tried to take on my frantic evening return home.
I had not seen it at all.
When we are faced with uncertainty, we lose access to the part of our brains that can see beyond what is right in front of us. we can lose sight of the vision we hold for our future during times of chaos.
Our primal brains kick in to immediately prioritize what will keep me safe RIGHT NOW? Our primal brains really DO NOT like uncertainty. And yet, uncertainty is a necessary component of transformation. In order for transformation to occur, what currently exists has to break down. It feels like entering a state of chaos. To our primal brain, chaos is to be avoided. But in the rational part of our brain, we know that this chaos is temporary and a necessary component of any transformation.
We are in a time of transformation.
The collective transformation is undeniable. It is glaring at us from our TV and device screens. It is evident in the way nurses are resorting to making their own personal protective equipment and teachers are leading fourth grade math through zoom video conferencing. The systems around us that are no longer serving us have the spotlight on them and unexpected leaders are rising up around us. Amidst the collective transformation is our own personal transformation.
You are adjusting to what your new normal looks like. Maybe you are working at your kitchen table with your partner talking too loudly across from you. Or maybe you work in a front line role and are being required to adopt new protocols on a daily or hourly basis to keep current with new information. You are deeply concerned for the state of the world, you are worried about your family members who are choosing not to safeguard their health the same way you are, and you are meeting yourself at your own edges. Honestly it is a lot.
It is difficult to keep focused on where you are headed through your personal transformation while the context is shifting around you.
I feel you. None of this is easy.
Managing through the uncertainty and finding opportunity amidst the chaos feels impossible.
Like being frantically lost in the forest, sometimes you cannot see the shortcut that will take you exactly where you want to go only 10 feet away from where you are standing. You are so worried about a possible future consequence of being lost in the woods in the dark, the only option appears to be to run a back down an already familiar path.
If I had been able to slow my nervous system down and expand my vision of the clearing, I may have been able to identify the opportunity available to me. Instead I had to take the long way around and go running back the way I came!

FAQS When it Comes to CYOI
I really want to access this opportunity to work with a Certified Leadership coach, but I feel awkward about selecting a price amount.
When you think about your investment commitment, close your eyes and ask yourself these questions:
What feels like it will not require my family to make sacrifices to basic necessities such as shelter or food, but feels like enough of an investment to COMMIT to the change I want to create for myself?
What will have me prioritize my coaching sessions, eliminate other distractions and make space to complete any reflection or other activities I agree to complete in-between sessions with my coach?
What if my investment commitment does not feel like enough FOR the expertise and support I will be getting?
We haven’t even met yet and I can tell you are a considerate and caring human, but let me clear this up for you: coaching is not about the coach, it is about YOU!
This is an opportunity to access a type of support you may not have had access to before. Or maybe this is an opportunity for you to trial what coaching is about and how it can support you, especially during a time of so many unknowns. What you invest is for YOU. Your investment commitment amount does not influence how I coach or what I bring to our sessions. I will not hold back, I will be open about what I see and I will hold space that allows you to bring whatever is going on. If your investment is enough for you, it is enough for me. I will bring everything I have. I hope you do too!
what if 6 sessions is not enough for the work I want to do, it there an option to purchase more sessions?
Choose-Your-Own-Investment is a trial offering in response to the shifting global context and the desire for deeper 1:1 individualized support. If this trial offering has impact I may consider offering additional packages of this or similar nature in the future. However, at this time only 6 packages of 6 sessions each, are available as a CYOI offering.
There are always additional opportunities for us to work together in both 1:1 and group formats that we can discuss if you would like to continue working with me after the CYOI sessions have completed.
What is the time frame in which CYOI coaching sessions need to be used?
Coaching sessions may be scheduled at a frequency which is appropriate to your process. Often this looks like once per week or twice per month. Because this package is intended to be of support during this specific and critical time, sessions will expire by July 31, 2020. Accommodation may be made for extenuating circumstances. Please email connect@amandaraestorteboom.com directly to arrange.
