A YEAR-LONG EXPANSION FOR COACHES
For coaches ready to create the seemingly impossible, for themselves & their clients ..
Who holds The Space?
We're Paula and Ellen, co-founders of The Softness Revolution.
For over twenty years, we've worked with leaders in and out of organisations and across every sector.
Paula is experienced in leading leadership programmes and coaching people at the top of their fields, from CEOs and directors of major institutions to Oscar-winning creatives, bestselling writers and scientists. Different worlds, same pattern. The striving. The ceiling. The thing quietly getting in the way. Softness is what we came to call the way through.
After stepping away from her corporate life, Ellen brings a sharp background in business and sales, and has much experience in building both sales and leadership teams. She bring a powerfully creative orientation to people in business, and has a a gift for making the harder edges of leadership feel clear, true and effective.
We know what it takes to succeed. And we know what most high achievers are never taught: that the way beyond the ceiling isn't more force. It's a softer, more powerful way to lead, and to live.
That's what we hold the space for.
Explore - Five Principles. One Revolution
Spirit
Structure
Spirit
The deep inner knowing that is always present, in you and in your client. For a coach, two things at once: leading from your own truth rather than your training, and holding the space for your client to reach and trust their own deep inner wisdom. The work moves from your insight to their knowing.
Space
Structure
Spirit
The pause that changes everything. The space you hold is the work. Only when you’re spacious enough yourself can you hear what your client really needs, rather than rushing to the next question. And it’s something you teach them to value too: the external space to slow down, and the internal space between thoughts where their own clarity opens up.
Structure
Structure
Structure
The backbone of creativity. Structure is what holds the creative tension, the gap between where your client is and what they’re reaching for, so it becomes the force that propels them forward. And it’s something you pass on: teaching your clients the fundamentals of structure for creating what they want and living the way they intend.
Synergy
Softness
Structure
We are relational by nature. Coaching is synergy, you and your client creating something neither could alone.
In a room of coaches reaching for the same stretch, that same intelligence multiplies what each of us brings and makes creating possible the seemingly impossible.
Softness
Softness
Softness
Not weakness. Strength. The most powerful force available to us. The coach who has stopped forcing their own growth stops forcing their client’s, and that’s when the real shift becomes inevitable, theirs and yours. And you support your client to do the same: to be awake and available, using only as much effort as is required.
