What is Inquiry-Based Coaching™? (IBC™)

IBC is a set of 12 open-ended questions designed to transform our mindset and performance of life radically and persistently in order to clean up what is getting in the way of the most wholesome, powerful, and joyful expression of ourselves. A session typically takes between 20-40 min. All you need is an open mind!

Foundations of IBC™

Self-Alignment - We are the source of our own guidance and healing. No other human can have the same access of our inner universe than ourselves. Insight, purpose, and action, are derived from within.

Dialectic Inquiry - The millenary Socratic tradition that focusses on using open ended questions as life’s most powerful source of wonder, adventure, creativity, growth, and understanding.

Flow Persistence - We can develop the ability to persistently access a profound inner state of enjoyment and fluidity that comes from the melting of aligned action with consciousness.

Effortlessness - True self transformation is not about pushing, forcing, fixing, or will, but rather it is about holding, witnessing, understanding, realizing, and healing.

Multiplicity of Mind - Actualizing that the nature of mind is multiple and complex, and at the same time accessible healable through particular praxis and models of understanding.

Dzogchen - The millenary Himalayan tradition holding the sacred method and experience (Rigpa) that allows us to recognize, access, relax into, and expand the truest expression of who we are.

Principles of IBC™

1. There is a way to live in this world that is aligned, powerful, trusting, and free.

2. The internal clarity that leads to this understanding is already in each of us.

3. This clarity is obscured by stuck assumptions about self, others, and the world.

4. This clarity can be completely restored through the use of IBC™.

5. Through IBC™ we see the whole person, not only a condition, or a past situation.

6. IBC™ uses applied experience resulting in direct transformation.

7. Sustained transformation is the product of commitment and dedication.

   
   

Through IBC™ we

• Identify what is getting in the way of our most extraordinary experience of life.

• Explore how we innocently (yes innocently) validate and justify the perceptional obstacles that sustain our limiting experience.

• Discover the impact that this validation and justification has in our experience of life.

• Realize how this validation makes us miss extraordinary opportunities and resources that are actually available to us behind our limiting perception.

• Experience our life without unnecessary limitations dissolving those patterns entirely and embarking in clear and sustained transformative action.

This resulting space of inner freedom, clear action, accomplished potential, and wholly aligned existence we call Zerospace.

The best ways to initially experience IBC are:

1. Reading or listening to the IBC Book available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover, kindle and audiobook.

2. Getting in touch or working with one of out Innerland Coaches or IBC Certified practitioners.

“After two rounds of IBC™ facilitation, I said goodbye to the assumption that I need something from the outer world before I can be whole within myself.

~ Lisa Vogt, Coach, Switzerland
