ABSTRACT
Why are personal and professional development inseparable in coaching? Within psychosynthesis coaching, we view the coach’s ability to practise a psychospiritual approach as a function of their own level of personal development, psycho-spiritual training and coaching skills. This chapter is the first of three (along with chapters 7 and 10) which together provide an in-depth exploration of the topic of personal development, which I am weaving in between other chapters that carry forward the central narrative of the book. In this first part, we explain what we mean by personal development and how it combines with professional development for the psychosynthesis coach.
