LEARNING PROGRAMS
Into the Divides - Creating Pathways for Change
In 2018/2019 we are creating a new program for organisations that will drop us all deeply into the world of Wicked Problems. What are they are? How do we face them? Let alone deal with them?
We could start with Climate Change and what that means for your organsation’s future. Or do you have a problem more pressing? Can we mix in some humour and theatre! This is a journey into complexity and everyone needs to be on board.
1:1 COACHING
1:1 COACHING
Would you leap in and run a marathon without doing some serious fitness training? And yet we often take up new and big challenges in our professional lives without thinking through the up-skilling that is needed to help us achieve our desired results. This may be simply because we don’t know where to find what we need and we may not even be able to name what it is we need.
An Integral coach works with you to clearly define your topic and help you see, and map a pathway that moves you in the direction you want to go
Having focussed and professional support while you test out new ways of being means you build new muscles that are sustainable for the long term. Our enlivening practices allow you to flex these muscles so that they become part of you.
The Value of Integral Coaching
Many coaching programs simply add new tools into the toolbox you already have; we refer to this as coaching 101, or getting better at what you already know. While this is of value, we aim for something bigger. Integral coaching is about identifying and building new personal capabilities that will have a high impact on your professional life, are relevant, practical and achievable and most importantly sustainable.
We achieve results within 4-9 months with 7-12 sessions. Our coaching is never open ended. Call us now to see if our style is a match for your needs.
FACILITATION
Bringing more of oneself to work is often something we yearn for, but also something we shy away from.
With an Integral facilitator working in your organisation you will be assured of a healthy balance of challenge and support, a place to speak authentically, of enlivened dialogue, a place where diverse perspectives are not just honoured but deeply encouraged and a powerful way to build coherence.
We raise the bar in your teams, your groups and your organisation by skilfully sharing a grounded practice, which is spacious and structured towards encouraging right action.

ABOUT US
Conscious Works was founded by Deborah Collins, a professional development facilitator and coach who is passionate about change, on a small or large scale.
Deborah has graduate degrees in Science Communication (M. Sci. Comm., ANU) and in Social Ecology (M. App. Sci. Social Ecology, UWS), she is an Associate Integral Coach through Integral Coaching Canada and a certified Integral facilitator through Ten Directions (USA).
Personal statement
“In the early nineties, starting out in professional development in the corporate and government sector, I realised two keys things: new tools can help but they don’t make us masterful. And short-term fixes are just that – they don’t last”.
“It was my own one-to-one work with an Integral trained professional coach that was the key to the deepest and most enlivening personal and professional changes of my life, changes that build real capability to bring out the best in us.”
“When not at my desk or with you, you can find me in the mountains, preferably in winter or in the surf at any time of the year.”
TESTIMONIALS
“I was treading water, waiting for things to change, and Deb Collins was instrumental in unpeeling my protective layers and reintroducing me to my essential self and my ability to affect change. Through humour and perception, she let me see and feel things in a refreshingly new way. Deb is fully present and a great listener, so even when the work was revealing and uncomfortable, her warmth and subtly in bringing in new ideas and light was generous and energising. Thank you Deb for an effective renewal. I now use the inspiration gained through coaching and feel new capabilities growing in me every day.”
LH, Brand Communications Manager, Sydney, Australia.
“Deb Collins literally changed my life. I was a go-getter and fierce woman until perimenopause [A1] struck me down and I became someone I didn’t know. For no reason, I was sad, afraid and lost. I met Deb in the surf while avoiding catching waves and she became my life coach. Deb has, in three months, changed my outlook from one of despair to one of a champion. I will always experience doubt and failure, but thanks to Deb, I know this makes me stronger and I am now ready to ride any tide. Well, maybe not the water ones but that will come soon).
MB, Business Owner, Sydney, Australia
“Deb is truly a very skilled coach who is a pleasure to work with. She is highly constructive and intuitive, and generates practical solutions that genuinely work and make a real difference. I got far more out of her coaching than I had ever expected. My coaching really opened my eyes to how I could make a big, positive change in a relatively simple way. I am seeing the benefits all the time. Deb is a real find, and I thoroughly recommend her.”
