The Wellspring Method®



The Wellspring Method ® is for you if you are achievement oriented and want to add energy, excitement and clarity to a professional, leadership, academic, community or personal objective you have. It will help you find your passion and your clear purpose related to your project. It will assist you in scoping the nature of the project, creating the vision for it and the impact it will have, and it will assist in identifying strategies for how you are going to realize your vision. 

It is an experiential, research based coaching process (where you will move around as well as talk). As the coach I use a guided imagination exercise to assist you in connecting with your senses, past successes, strengths, intuition and gut feelings to create your vision and help you identify strategies and plans to implement your vision. It is based in positive psychology and appreciative inquiry. 

The process starts with stories of your best experiences in the past and me as the coach helping you harvest your natural abilities (talents and strengths) from these stories.

If you like to learn by doing, and are oriented toward using your imagination to support your thinking, this may be the coaching launch process for you. The process involves talking, small movements and guided imagination activities.

The foundational Wellspring Method® as a launch to coaching takes about one to three hours depending on which activities you choose. (Several activities are not shown in the graphic below, including preparatory options which can be discussed with you.) 

After the launch, implementation coaching sessions are available. Four or more implementation sessions over 2-6 months will help you make progress in turning your vision into reality. More complex visions may require more sessions over a longer period.

The Wellspring Method® has been used since 2014 with individual professionals, academics, business people and those with a passion project. It has been facilitated 1-1 and with groups, both online and in person. It has been presented at conferences and implemented in conference workshops.
