About Navigators

Navigators Prime is a powerful and comprehensive course designed to train people into becoming professional life coaches: knowledgeable, ethical, and capable. 


Coaching is a way of working with people which focuses on outcomes, performance, and excellence. More than this it is about seeing and working with the whole person, recognising how everything is connected. 


Coaching can be an invitation to remove the masks that they wear and getting to know their deeper and authentic selves, and how this deeper part of them impacts on everything that they do in their life. It then creates pathways to empowering change that doesn’t just effect their goals and outcomes, but every aspect of their lives. 


Coaching provides a vast array of powerful and life changing skills, that can often create immediate change. Then through practice and integration can become meaningful and lasting. It can literally change a life. 


Professional Coaching is also compatible with every other discipline and aspect of professional and personal life. Whether you work in business, in the human services field, in the management of teams, in creating and delivering projects; Coaching can enhance this work. Simply put, if you work with people, then Coaching will make it more effective.


Transform a Life
Build a Community
Change the World
Navigators
Aims and Outcomes
The motto of Navigators Prime is: Transform a Life, Build a Community, Change the World.

This recognises that what you do to change a life for the better will impact on them, and thus improve the quality of their relationships. When relationships become improved, we start to build whole new levels of enduring and loving community. And communities of care have the power to change the world. 

Navigators Prime seeks to create Professional Coaches. The definition of Professionalism we use is: knowledgeable, ethical, and capable. 

Knowledgeable means that they know their stuff, and how to apply it.

Ethical recognises that situations that people face are rarely straightforward, and just making it up as you go along is insufficient, as it risks causing harm to people. So instead we must act in ways that recognise the risks, and acting responsibly and accountably.

Capable means that there is an expectation that you can actually get meaningful results for people, so it isn’t just theory, it is deeply practical.

This does not just occur for doing it with others, but recognises that you have to go through your own journey, and sorting your own stuff out. The course is geared to not only learn this for others, but to do it for yourself. 

The course is not designed to set you up to become a full-time Coach.  Far from it. Too often this sets people up to fail. Instead it gives you the opportunity to take the Coaching skills and to apply them to create personal, social, practical, and even cultural change in whatever field you are working in. Sure, some people who really love it will go on to start their own coaching business, and this is great. 

Beyond Navigators Prime, there is an opportunity to become a Navigators Coach, and continue your personal and professional journey with ongoing training, networking, resource development, and opportunities to take your work into the community. 

The course itself uses a philosophy of Love which describes it as:
50% Support, 50% Challenge. Doing this course you will be supported, and you will be challenged!

About the Course
Navigators Prime occurs over 8 in-class modules, spread over around 9 months. Each facilitated module occurs over 2 days (a Friday and Saturday) where there is a chance to work through content, and experience for yourself many of the tools and processes learned, as part of your own growth and development. 

Between each of these modules there is even more with a combination of homework activities, tutorials, project work, and becoming immersed in Coaching itself. 

Throughout the course you would be assigned a skilled and experienced Supervisor Coach who will guide and support you through the journey. The Supervisor will be supporting you with the practical skills of coaching, as well as you personally in your own challenges and growth. 

You will also get matched with your fellow trainees for Peer Coaching, where you will get to practice your skills with others, and they will get to practice on you. Through all of this you will get Coached a lot, and get a better understanding of what works and what doesn’t. 

In later stages of the course you will also be invited to take on Volunteer Coaching, recruiting people from outside of the course to work with as a complimentary service. 

On top of all of this you will be required to put together a Portfolio of who you are and your skills as a coach, something that turns into one of the most important tools in being an amazing Professional Coach.

Also available are voluntary Tutorials where we can all get together and clarify and integrate even more of the content, and work through the challenges that you may be facing in a supportive and fun environment.

If this wasn’t enough, you will also be supported by a host of amazing other Navigators Supporter Coaches, who are more than willing to encourage and support you to work through the issues, and find your best selves. It is really an amazing community of extraordinary people.

Commitment
Participating in this course requires a great deal of commitment and dedication, as well as skilful planning around your (no doubt) already hectic lives. These are in itself, important skills for a coach to have and to embody. 

Consider the workload listed above and consider how this would fit into and around your life, and wat practical changes and supports you would need to take on such a course. 

Further than this, because of the deeply interactive nature of this course, it is very important to have the Commitment to your fellow trainees. Together you will form a very tight and supportive community, with friendships and links that may last for many years. You may also find yourselves working for common purpose and cause into the future, and drawing on each other’s expertise in different areas of specialisation. 

Finally, there is a commitment to this work for yourself. Exploring deep into yourself, allowing yourself to be confronted at ever deepening levels can be quite challenging at times. To do this means to embrace change, which is not always a comfortable process. There will be times that it will feel easier to just quit than to stay the distance. It is really important to hang-on-in-there until completion. The course itself will support you to find this for yourself at an even deeper level than ever before.

Content Overview

Module 1: First Things First and Foundations
We kick off in Module 1 with establishing what Coaching is all about, and the basics of working well with people. We ground everything we do in professionalism, and define it as being knowledgeable, ethical, and capable. We introduce the Coaching Model which will become a guide throughout the course, that is both so incredibly simple, yet can be used to tackle the most complex dilemmas. We explore how people tick, and about how to create extraordinary transformation in your own life and in the lives of others. We take skills of active listening and we take them to a whole new edge. We set up the frameworks to Coach people successfully. 

Module 2: Engagement and Change
With the basics established we start to get into the serious business of creating change. We travel from the moment you first meet a Client, through the structure of coaching, and into taking them through into deep and transformative process work. We investigate story, breaking patterns and cycles, and open up new possibilities. We bring in the power of games and processes that can really shake things up. We introduce the Shadow Model, an extraordinarily powerful framework for unlocking potential and power, and create an understanding of behaviour, conflict, and shame. Then we finish all of this off with physical integration of the learning. 

Module 3: Conflict and Boundaries
In Module 3 we explore one of the biggest challenges that people face and that is how we do conflict with other people, and discover the reasons that most people avoid it, and how to turn uncomfortable conflict into an exciting opportunity for everyone to get their needs met. Through this we will get to explore the use of props and tools, leading us in to doing Swordwork, and amazing way to teach people to have the most amazing and powerful boundaries in their life. We then delve deeper into boundaries and see what lies beneath this such as with love, compassion, and forgiveness. We then explore what it means to become a powerful negotiatior. 

Module 4: Trust and Relationships
We complete the first half of the course content with exploring the dynamics of how relationships work, and how tangled up trust can become as a result of the experiences of our life. We then work to develop deeper levels of trust, and how this impacts on connection and belonging. We add to this by incorporating creating goals, being focused, taking action, and developing accountability for self and for others. Then we dive in again even deeper into the dynamics of relationship, the different forms of relationships in our lives, and a focus on romantic relationships and the transformative impact that they can have in our lives. 

Module 5: Values and Identity
Now we turn the mirror back onto ourselves and start to face some of the big questions of: 'Who am I?' We will explore how we go about defining our identity, and all the problems that can be caused by simply believing that our identity is our past. Then we launch into making powerful and effective decision making that works in all areas of our life. Truly game-changing stuff. We go on a breathtaking journey into understanding what our Values are and how they impact in our lives, and what is required to clean them up in both who we are and what we do. We also delve into the power of archetypes, and of working with both grief & loss, and justice & fairness.

Module 6: Passion and Purpose
Next we go on a journey of exploring the bigger questions of passion and purpose in our lives; when are we just going through the motions, and when are we actually doing something truly meaningful with our time on this planet. We delve further into what having a deep and healthy sense of self-love is, and what it means to live 'on purpose'. What does it mean to live a life of integrity, of grace and honour, to have true freedom, to face down our fears with courage, and to recognise what we are truly capable of. We then return again to what a truly passionate relationship looks like, and how to reset and restore even the most tired and bruised relationships.

Module 7: Life Challenges and The Deep End
By the time we reach Module 7, you will be ready to face some of the real big stuff that happens in people's lives. We look head-on at some of the deepest and most defining patterns of our lives, and the challenges that can come from this. We look at how people can so often get caught in patterns that they don't understand, which can lead them into finding themselves into places of addiction, and mental health issues. We will confront trauma and abuse, how common it is, and how to work with them. More we look at ways to deal with these challenges which are both unconventional and effective, which can even take us to a place of achieving the impossible.

Module 8: Integration and Sharpening the Sword
After an epic journey through the course, we can now reflect on how far we have come, and then we start to lay out the road map into our professional future, rich with possibilities. We will understand what it means to have the sharpest of swords, able to cut through any situation. We will explore the evolution into mastery through the practice of synthesis. We will explore what setting up a coaching business is about, and wise ways to consider doing this. We will celebrate our freedom to break the shackles and to be able to express ourselves, and then to celebrate still further with a ceremony of recognition. We also gaze into the next rabbit hole...

About the Facilitator
The main facilitator and chief navigator for Navigators Prime is Paul Stewart. 

Paul Stewart is a highly experienced professional coach with his business Compassion Coaching and has around a decade of experience in coaching. This includes having extensive experience in facilitation of coaching training and professional supervision of trainee and qualified coaches. He estimates having done over 10,000 hours of coaching with many hundreds of people from all walks of life, cultures, religions, goals, circumstances, crises, socio-economic backgrounds and getting consistently positive outcomes across the board. 

Beyond this Paul has a bogglingly extensive background of experience and qualifications in fields of psychology, counselling, social work, teaching, training, facilitation, case management, direct care, child protection, youth work, crisis intervention, service coordination and management, volunteering, and a lot more besides. Paul knows and understands people and the situations they find themselves in; and what to do about it. 

Paul is a generalist as a coach, but has developed particular love and specialisation in fields such as relationships, parenting, mental health, and personal effectiveness. He is also deeply passionate about the development of professional coaching as a discipline, defining the word professional as meaning both ‘knowledgeable’ and ‘ethical’. Or in other words, not just having the knowledge, but knowing how to apply it in the most effective and positive way possible. 

Paul is also the Founder and Practice Leader of the inSight Tribe movement, bringing people together in common purpose to stand by each other through hardship and victory as a means of holding each other accountable in their growth and development, and the building of communities of genuine caring. Paul has gathered an extraordinary band of skilled and caring coaches to this cause as part of the leadership team for inSight Tribe. 

Paul has also had his fair share of personal and professional challenges over his lifetime, and understands what it is like to be seriously knocked down by life, and by what it takes to get up again. 

Paul also has a reputation for making the tough calls, and a passion for the delicate and difficult situations that others tend to shy away from. He often reflects that he can stomp around where angels may fear to tread. Paul’s personal framework is to meet people where they are at, not where you think they should be. The result is that he can have something of a reputation for being both a man of extraordinary compassion, and a monumental pain in the arse. 

Paul has been married to the brilliant Tina (a professional powerhouse herself) for 10 years and together they share in the raising of their three spirited children, Caitlin, Alexander, and little Matthew.
