Discover more creative, meaningful and powerful ways of living, leading and being. Many organizations find coaching to be a cost-effective way to enhance effectiveness, inspire creativity, build strong leadership, and reduce stress; and more and more foundations financially support the use of coaching as a capacity-buidling tool.  (For more information on coaching in nonprofits, you might start perusing the resources here.)   

Y Elements has coached Executive Directors (both new and those wanting extra support for growth), faith leaders, philanthropic leaders, and senior executives wanting to create their own consulting firms, as well as playwrights, performance artists and other activists.  

"Yael is good for the soul! Her work is second to none! Her spirit is uplifting! Her humor is heartening!"  Anthony Colón, AJ Colón Consulting 

Coaching is a process, not a quick fix. We recommend you commit to a minimum of six sessions to see results.  While Y Elements tailors its work to each client, you can expect coaching to include:

• Self appraisals
• Practicing honest, effective and compassionate speech
• Making clear requests, offers and agreements with others
• Exploring perspectives, and seeing new possibilities for action
• Courageous decision making
• Developing trust and power balances in relationships
• Radical self-care
• Finding body/breathing patterns that relax, center and ground
• Homework (journaling, conversations, and reflective action steps)
• Helpful tools around organizing, process, power and structure

Coaching is wonderful if you want to: 

• Thrive in a world of doing more with less
• Live more meaningfully and purposefully
• Find a new direction after a time of transition
• Jump-start your creative process
• Explore ways to radically care for yourself and those you love
• Create more order, discipline, beauty and authenticity in your life
• Release habitual ways of being, feeling and doing that no longer serve you
• Focus your energy where it can have the most impact
• Negotiate relationships and agreements that you are excited about
• Transform your organization into a place that staff want to come to every day
• Feel space in your everyday life for appreciation, reflection and learning.   
• Receive ongoing support, feedback and accountability

Y Elements offers individual coaching sessions by phone, skype, or in-person. Combining Reiki with coaching is also extremely powerful. Group coaching is also a very effective way of developing trust and team buidling.  Contact us for more information.
