Hi,
My name is Steve March. I’m a professional coach and a faculty member at New Ventures West, the leading Integral Coach training school in the world. Both in my coaching and teaching, I’m committed to helping clients and students experience lives of passion, connection, meaning, and renewal.
I am passionate about inventing new and creative ways to address the important challenges we face in the 21st century. I do this in four ways. The first is teaching the Professional Coaching Course (PCC) at New Ventures West. The PCC is a professional journey to becoming a skilled coach but, more than that, it is also a personal journey. The PCC is a journey of self-discovery, embodied learning, and community-building. Learning and development never stops.
One of my big missions in life is to awaken people to their embodiment and how their body is a source of power, resilience, and freedom for living. Few people realize the power of their body for shaping the quality of their lives. I offer private coaching and classes to help coaches be more skillful in coaching somatically. If you are interested, check out my Coaching for Embodiment class. Or, if you live near Berkeley, California, join me at The Somatic Coaching Practice Group which meets twice monthly.
Third, I help coaches experience the joy and satisfaction of building thriving coaching businesses. I do this through offering coaching and workshops on applying entrepreneurial approaches to building successful coaching businesses. The statistics across the industry on how many trained coaches are making a living practicing coaching are sad. I want to see more coaches working in the world because I believe coaching supports the learning necessary to address the big challenges that we face as individuals and as a global community. Ultimately, the benefits of coaching aren’t only for the client, they are for everyone in the client’s life. This blog and all the associated offers are part of this mission.
Lastly, I help people deepen their confidence, power, and leadership presence. There seems to be a dearth of good leadership these days. Have you noticed? Leadership has nothing to do with position. Leading is a way of being. We are all called to lead. I help clients become the very leader they are searching for. If interested, check out my Unfolding Leadership teleclass.
From where I stand, these skills – coaching, embodied learning, entrepreneurship, and self-leadership – are the essential skills for life in the 21st century. Without these skills we can quickly be overwhelmed by the magnitude of the changes taking place and the complexity of the challenges we face. The appropriate response is to develop ourselves, our ability to learn and to lead, our ability to bring forth new ideas and new ways of living.
I currently live in Oakland, California with my fiancé Donna. She’s a graphic designer and studying to become an acupuncturist/herbalist and a yoga teacher. Together we are doing our best to practice living an integral and sustainable lifestyle – a life that keeps renewing us physically, emotionally, mentally, relationally, and spiritually as we help others do so for themselves.
I hope that our paths cross and that we have the opportunity to share our life experience and learn from each other.
Best wishes,
Steve
