What Is Emergence Coaching?

Existential philosophers defined authenticity as acting in alignment with whom we could become. Emergence coaching provides a supportive pathway or bridge for clients as they span the old programming, fears, beliefs, and limitations that lie between whom they have been and who they are becoming. Hyphenate Coaching supports clients as they maneuver through the vulnerability and discomfort of self-discovery, growth, and transformation so they can live fully and embody their authenticity. Emergence coaching is a mutual and sacred experience between coach and client. At Hyphenate Coaching, you will be guided by your coach as you connect with the person you are becoming. 

What Can You Expect?

The coaching relationship is a partnership. The coach and client partner to establish clear agreements, objectives, and measures of success. During the coaching experience, the client is invited to show up fully and take responsibility for their choices and actions. The coach establishes a safe container for the client’s discovery and self-expression by using a variety of effective tools to help the client gain new and deeper perspectives, much like holding a mirror at different angles to see a more complete image. In partnership, the coach and client develop strategies and accountability measures for transforming new insights into action, helping the client achieve their goals, create meaningful change, and emerge into their next highest self. Coaching is non-directive. The process is designed to empower clients to trust their inner wisdom and develop a sense of agency.

Is Emergence Coaching Right For Me?

Emergence coaching is most effective for individuals who are eager and willing to grow and transform. Some clients engage support as they maneuver through specific life events, such as relationship endings and career transitions. Others may register a nagging sense of dissatisfaction or discomfort with their present state without being able to identify what may contribute to a greater sense of fulfillment. Whether you intend to achieve a specific outcome or simply desire a more satisfying life, emergence coaching is right for you!

Client Testimonials

“When I began working with Ann-Preston, I was stuck. Transitioning from the tough ending of my corporate career to starting two businesses and being an empty nester, I had lost my identity and confidence. I had this gnawing sense of defeat as I could see where I wanted to go and who I wanted to be and couldn’t get there. Ann-Preston was an amazing gift to me. I can’t pinpoint exactly how, but she created a safe environment where I could share vulnerably. She almost never gave me advice bur rather asked questions and made observations. What I experienced was her incredible ability to help me see what I couldn’t see about myself. What I discovered was more of the me I wanted to be. I spoke more honestly, took more risks, learned how to care for myself, and allowed myself to feel and express pain, which I historically haven’t done. I have one of my new businesses up and running. I joined the board of a nonprofit. More importantly, I allow myself to feel all my emotions and I experience more of me, especially what I used to consider the bad or weak parts of me. I would recommend Ann-Preston to anyone who wants to move towards who they could become and make a difference in their lives and those around them.”

“There are not words that can accurately describe the profound impact working with Ann-Preston has had on my life. I have deepened my relationship with myself which has allowed me the space to design the life I have always wanted. Showing up as my authentic Self has brought clarity, joy, and freedom in my everyday life. Ann-Preston celebrates you as you step into the new version of yourself. It has been such a blessing to work with her!”

- Julie

“I enjoyed my conversations with Ann-Preston so much! She was the most attentive listener I’ve ever spoken with and I knew she cared very deeply about helping me achieve the greatest, most fulfilled life possible. She provided a very safe, inviting, and trusting space to dive deep into many emotionally charged subjects. She was highly professional, insightful, effective, and above all, kind and compassionate. I highly recommend anyone to reach out to her for guidance in demystifying life’s challenges.”

- Kurt

“Ann-Preston is a very gifted coach. I was very fortunate to connect with her through an old friend. She tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.  If you’re ready to make changes in your life, she’s the coach you’ll want in your corner!!!”

- Susan

“ I was made comfortable talking about my life situations out loud and was provided good, thought-provoking questions that pushed me to question how and why I thought a certain way. This new view and thought process is what helped me work through difficult situations in my life.”
