INTRODUCING The Entelechy Method™ from The GP Coach

A transformational coaching programme developed specifically for Doctors and Caring Health Professionals (or any professional in a high-stress environment).  

I have lived through the experience of becoming disconnected from me and my inner “true self” and I have seen many Doctors and other caring professionals do the same. You feel lost on many levels- 

  • you may have lost your direction (you may be facing navigating a career crossroads or may be thinking of leaving medicine).
  • you may have lost your wellbeing (you may be feeling overwhelmed or burnt out).
  • you may have lost your relationship with yourself yet continue to be compassionate and caring to others whilst not taking care of you. You are last on your to-do list or may not even be on your list at all.
  • you may have lost your work-life balance – work is consuming most of your time and your precious energy and you have little, or nothing left to give at home, to others or yourself. 
  • You may have lost you job satisfaction and can’t quite put your finger on what is wrong. You may even be thinking of leaving Medicine. 
  • you may have lost your confidence and your voice of self-doubt is loud and repetitive. Your imposter syndrome may be raging.
  • you may have lost sight of your purpose or your path.

I had some amazing coaching sessions which enabled me to reconnect with myself and my purpose and quieten the voice of my self-doubt so my self-confidence could flourish. I then took a courageous leap and began my coaching training.  I had found the right flight path for me and I no longer felt lost!  I had a purpose, and I was growing again- both personally and professionally! What a joy!

What is ‘Entelechy’ and why have I used it to name my coaching programmes?

(pronounced ‘En – tel – ech – ee’)

Entelechy is an ancient term and was defined by Aristotle as “the condition of a thing whose essence is fully realised” and “the potential of things to become themselves”.

Joseph Campbell, the philosopher, teacher and writer, later wrote that every living thing has an entelechy, including human beings.  He used the metaphor of the acorn to illustrate this.  The acorn has within it all the information encoded within it, its entelechy, to become an oak tree, even though it looks nothing like an oak tree when it is in its acorn state. The acorn needs light and water, the right growing conditions to grow, however, these external conditions do not determine what the acorn is to become.  It is the same for you an me, we all have our entelechy too- the essential purpose encoded within us and a life force that can drive our full evolution and enable us to reach our potential.

YOUR ENTELECHY IS THE ESSENCE OF YOU, IT’S YOUR INNER ‘TRUE SELF’

We all get disconnected from our entelechy at some point, through life events and other influences at work and at home. 

This can lead you to experience feelings of dissatisfaction with your life – however, you can’t quite put your finger on why you are feeling that way.  

You have a choice at this point – to continue this way or to be brave, look inside at your entelechy and reconnect with your true self and find your path.

Taking flight, takes courage!

The Entelechy Method™ is designed to help you boost your wellbeing, unlock your potential and find your path.

Or in other words, it is designed to realise your ‘Entelechy’
