Integral Coaching methodology is developed by Sami M. Bugay (MCC) based on the AQAL Model of Ken Wilber, as an essential part of Integral Trilogy: Integral Leadership, Integral Coaching and Integral Team Coaching.
After graduating from six different coaching programs and becoming a Master Certified Coach with more than 7.000 hours of coaching in 2015, Bugay concentrated his studies on the concept of “making of meaning”. When he completed the Integral Leadership training by Integral Institute – Ken Wilber in 2006, he realized that the missing part was an holistic approach, to embrace enduring insights of paradoxes; and dilemmas of “unconsciousness self”, to accept and feed by dynamic creative force of chaos to reach the balance.
Thus, in its simplest form, Integral Coaching is a methodology to approach any kind of issue, crisis or dilemma, as a whole together with other non-omittable or removable parts of factors. In this context, the distinctive element of an Integral Coach’s approach, is to be able to look at different perspectives of the “issue” in a coherent way; and also start a journey together with the client, to comprehend all perspectives, create awareness regarding his/her purpose and also internal resources, and to be in action (being) to reach the balance.
In this methodology, Bugay defines Quadrants as the essential tool to look at and more crucially be able to see. Thus, in use, Four-Dimensional Lens offers a unique as well as humble process to embrace reality.
