Surviving a break-up
Such an experience can lead to a mild state of shock, preventing us to sleep or to eat. In this case, a CLG coach may suggest a simple protocol that re-establishes a sense of stability and helps the person get a handle on the situation. This might include listening to a meditation CD, receiving a massage or taking a warm bath at specific times as well as regular e-mail exchange and sessions with his or her coach. In parallel or as a next step, coach & coachee would design a program to rebuild confidence: for instance the coachee composes a personal self-strengthening affirmation and / or selects one from an existing repertoire, and define a regular ritual for practicing them. With this new program of structured activities in place, the person has the opportunity to gradually and safely rebuild enough inner quietude and confidence to start reorganizing her or his life in a new and positive way.

Starting a new career
There is usually a need to re-assess a life direction and to formulate new goals in such a transition time. A thorough self-discovery process will allow us to identify the personal strengths that we can directly apply and lead us to more strongly connect with our chosen goal and path. Taking the WLP assessment in order to broaden one's current life picture & identify areas of strength and of weakness can be very useful to jumpstart this new beginning. Six months of CLG coaching commitment is very often chosen for a meaningful new direction to emerge or to take hold and for meaningful changes to take place. The coachee may be guided to work on his or her goals and commitment using various methods to unblock one's creative drive, enthusiasm or interest. This is also a very good time to introduce new and constructive life habits such as a good diet and regular exercise - the CGL program does often recommends energy exercise such as Qigong, for example the powerful life and energy enhancer practice of the Eight Treasures. For other health issues, the CLG coach might also refer his or her client to a health professional.

As this transitional phase unfolds, CLG coaching sessions will aim at supporting the concrete implementation of one's goal thru an appropriate level of planning and may include methods of self-disclosure, energy release or deep meditation to release psycho-spiritual blockages and help one's self-management and life skills increase. As the CLG program works from the ground up, helping the person regain the personal poise that is at the source of his or her total expression and performance in life, one may see improvements in many areas that were not necessarily in the forefront of one's intent. At some point, goals will start to manifest. This is often the time when coach and coachee re-assess their work together and a series of sessions is concluded, coaching sessions are scheduled with longer intervals, or a light "check-up" schedule is implemented. A coachee may also want to continue a CLG support as new goals begin to form. Very often, a second round of coaching sessions is shorter, because the person is already familiar with and applies several personally significant self-management skills.

Down to business
With an already high level of organizational skills and well defined goals, the integral perspective of the CLG program (as found in the WLP and in the Five Healths approach) can open up new horizons as we explore the possibilities of actualizing goals using a less fragmented or unilateral understanding.

For instance, some of the special mind-focusing practices proposed by a CLG coach emphasize opening up to a bigger picture as a foundation to support intent. As one main feature of the CLG is to assist in reclaiming the totality of one's potential and help the person apply these new balanced abilities in realizing specific goals, it will be very important to re-visit areas of our life that we are unfamiliar with, in order to discover hidden or unexpressed strengths. Many have noticed that this more indirect approach can bring excellent results. This includes business people significantly lifting their profit margin within a downbeat economic climate, or an athlete or a stage performer improving a very specific skill while also gaining a general poise that reverberate in several other areas of life.

Managing terminal cancer
This is a time when our goals may broaden, our wisdom ripens and our legacy becomes more apparent. One may have a sharp mind, plenty of courage, joy and wit, but may need support with practical aspects. Or one may feel anxious and depressed. At this time, a CLG coach can be an ally and a constructive listener, at a time when many important choices need to be made. As a complement to allopathic treatment or in combination with natural care, the CLG coach may also offer special Qigong practices and guide us in constructive meditation as preparation to undergoing surgery or to help manage the side effects of various medical treatments. Ultimately, the coach assists us to reach our inner peace and and experience the depth of life.
