Supercharge Your 'Why': Anchoring to Core Intention℠ Training for Coaches, Therapists, Executives, and Visionaries

If you're a coach, therapist, or strategy/visioning executive, learning how to connect your clients to their core intention--their raison d'être; why they're on the planet...not just in their heads, but in their hearts--is a powerful skill. It can help clients reach what they most want in the world. It's also a catalyst for other modalities, like Internal Family Systems, where it creates positive (resourceful) places to start growth, vs. deficit-based motivation.
Anchoring to Core Intention℠ is an easy way to accelerate and deepen your work, and reveal new, previously hidden client assets. In addition to helping clients uncover their core intention in a profound way, you'll also be able to give them a means to recall that state at will. And, once trained, you can do this all quickly--establishing these connections in a single session.

"As a psychotherapist and coach I value tools that help my clients not just understand but truly manifest the changes they desire. Mark's Anchoring to Core Intention℠ teaches a model that provides just that. In addition to the valuable coaching tools to use with my clients, the training also provided a personal experience of clarifying my gifts, talents, and goals and started me on a path to manifesting! Mark's personalized support and the collaborative group interactions allowed for practicing the model and exploring possibilities for using it in different settings with different client populations. What I most deeply appreciated and was most energized by is the connection Mark's model opens to Core Self." |
"Anchoring to Core Intention℠ is amazingly powerful and unique. It's releasing blocks in me that had been burdens for years. I’ve never experienced anything like it—not just the results, but how fast yet gentle it is. And as a former Director of John Gray's Mars Venus Institute, and creator of a coach training program, I’ve seen a lot! I’m really looking forward to Mark’s course so I can bring this tool to my clients and students, too." |
"As a veteran coach, I am always looking for tools and practices to help my clients accelerate their results. Anchoring to Core Intention℠ is all that and more. Mark's expert and passionate guidance makes the learning challenging, rewarding, practical, and fun. It is easy to align with other coaching modalities. Discovering this method helped me zero in on my gifts, expand my practice, and most importantly guide my clients to get clearer and move steadily toward fuller expression of their purpose on the planet. |
Why is Core Intention Useful...and What is It?
Capturing your "why" is sometimes a head exercise that leaves you rudderless and even struggling on a day-to-day level. Wouldn’t it be great if you could boost your emotional battery at will, re-connecting to higher purpose, particularly when you’re overwhelmed or caught up in daily details?
Anchoring to Core Intention℠ viscerally connects you to your gifts and essential purpose in a way that resonates in your heart, body, and spirit--not just your head. You’ll do this process around a specific challenge in a way that creates an actual experience of the outcomes you want. That approach builds an emotionally energizing and concrete foundation you can access during day-to-day activities. You’ll also identify a means (e.g., gesture or phrase) to rekindle your zest at times when your mission and passion feel remote. When connected to your core intention in a visceral way, all of a sudden what you thought you "ought" to do (but maybe couldn't quite grasp) becomes something you can touch and feel, and can't wait to get to. This connection creates energy for the hard work of transformation.
Note: this is not about intellectually developing a 25 word personal mission statement...although you'll have the start of one, should you want to craft it. It's more getting from your head to your heart and body...about knowing and feeling what you're about, vs. "understanding." It reflects something specific you yearn to reach, but aren't quite experiencing. It includes a trip to a future where you'll deeply experience what you seek, and be able to bring lessons from that future back. And it includes anchoring.

What about Anchoring?
Anchoring is a Neuro Linguistic Programming tool that allows you to associate a desired state with a physical gesture and word, short phrase, or even an object. Anchoring to Core Intention℠ means that when clients are at the height of their experience of connecting to their core intention--which is very often a passionate yet peaceful and even euphoric state--they can recall that state at will. This enables them to connect to their core intention as a backdrop for other personal growth work, and to shift their energy and perspective in challenging situations.
How do You Train?
You can learn Anchoring to Core Intention℠ in several ways. Some prefer to learn one-on-one: working on themselves to begin, and then supervised practice with others. I also conduct face-to-face and remote training.
- Intention: give you mastery-level skills to lead Anchoring to Core Intention℠ sessions with clients or others you serve. When you’re done, you’ll be able to help clients articulate what they want powerfully, as well as connect to their gifts and purpose on the planet. You’ll also have the skills to guide clients to a visceral experience of a future where desired outcomes are realized and gifts expressed, and give clients an “anchor” to bring the experience back into the present time. I’ll also teach body-based techniques to calibrate issues and outcomes (so clients can see how they’ve shifted as a result of the work you’ve led), and how to integrate these tools into the IFS (Internal Family Systems) model and other modalities.
- Tele-class Format: 10 week course (next session starting mid- to late- February 2017). Expect five live group learning calls (90 minutes each, both on-line video and phone participation options), recorded for participants who missed calls, want to review material, etc. Each call is supported with written materials (instruction, and exercises). Four of the calls will be focused on building specific skills (with a two week interval between them so you can practice). The last call will be 3 weeks after all of the skills have been taught to help see what needs to be adjusted based on actual participant experience. Participants will be invited to a closed group so they can share questions and successes, and I'll monitor those questions and respond frequently.
- Workshop content will include how to introduce Anchoring to Core Intention℠ to clients; articulating client issues/outcomes; calibrating issues/outcomes (including body-testing modalities); eliciting clients' unique gifts; eliciting 'why I'm on the planet'; seeing the gift in how the client was blocked and gaining permission to proceed; time machine protocol (induction, improv techniques, re-entry); setting up and using anchors; integration with IFS and other modalities; and special issues and considerations.
- The standard tuition will be $697. I offer a $200 savings for registration by February 3. There are also special savings for clients, Internal Family Systems practitioners, and those who have been exposed to this material through my workshops.
- Contact me to learn more, including the opportunity to join free demo/Q&A sessions if you've never experienced this tool before. You'll not only learn what it is and how I'll teach, but also have a first-hand experience of how it works. As a result, you'll get a better connection to your own gifts and purpose on the planet.
- In addition to Anchoring to Core Intention℠ training, I also offer group and individual supervision, including for Internal Family Systems practitioners seeking certification.
