A1. Hollistic's coaching programs can help you deal with any and all kinds of issues, whether related to health and well-being, personal and professional relationships, or career and finances. We help you delve deeper into the core reasons for these issues and as you learn more about yourself, the answers to the issues start unraveling one by one. The program impacts you at many levels, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Our program will help you look deep into your own mind (i.e. thoughts), and heart (i.e. emotions), to understand yourself better, as well as your choices and actions.

A2. The Hollistic Core Life and Organizational Education Program (HCLOE™) is a comprehensive five-module educational program in Individual and Organizational Development. The program consists of five main themes, focused on both the personal and the professional world: Self/Org, Perspective/Strategy, People/Market, Communication/Collaboration, and World/Impact. Almost all challenges faced by people and organizations today largely relate to these five themes, and we endeavor to help you overcome them through our multi-dimensional educational methodology. By equipping you or your team with the right life and organizational skills to understand each situation clearly and enable you to see the bigger picture, we help you make the best choices and decisions for yourself or your organization.

A3. At Hollistic, we refer to “coaching” as a profession that combines multiple educational, communicative, and interactive methods of helping people work on improving their lives. As such, our coaches combine all of the above, including in certain cases, meditation, visualization, movement work, game play, music, film, dance, theater, and more, in their coaching sessions. However, a coach only facilitates the process of problem solving for the client, so the client is the one who actually solves their own problem through the coaching process. A coach works to understand your issues through a coaching session, either online or in person. Once the issues are identified through in-depth interactive sessions, the coach helps you address those issues by using various tools and encourages you to introspect and come up with your own solutions. Thus, a coaching session helps you reach deep within yourself to understand the root cause of your issue, which then leads to a change in how you think, feel, and act. In order to explain the differences between these professions briefly, here’s a quick summary of the methods involved:

Coaching: An inquiry process, a deep exploration of the client's own thoughts and emotions about their story, rather than the details of the story itself

Counselling: A listening process, discussing the details of the client's story, with some degree of advice

Consulting: Discussing and assisting with decision-making and explaining the best way to approach a particular situation

Therapy: A process of emotional release through discussion of the client's story, focusing primarily on the client's emotions

Please note that we use the term "coaching" in a broader, educational capacity, encompassing all of these methods and more, and our professionals may combine methods in order to help you achieve your goals through a coaching session.

A4. While we certainly hope that you receive exactly the results that you seek, if not better, we are unable to offer any guarantees with respect to results, simply because the primary aim of our work is to help guide you towards what your inner voice tells you, through your own thoughts and emotions. Making sense of your inner reality is where we come in, but that reality is still owned by you, as are the results that you manifest into your life. You are the creator and the upholder of your own outcome throughout the coaching process and beyond.

A5. At the start of a coaching session, the coach will design an agreement with you, called the “Coach-Client Agreement.” This would be a non-binding, verbal and/or written set of preferences that you may have for the coaching session itself. Front-loading this agreement ensures that the session begins according to your preferences, without requiring discussion during the session itself. The structure of the actual coaching session is left to the discretion of the coach, who would decide the best methods and tools to use at any stage of the coaching session. The coach may check with you to see that you are comfortable with that particular method or tool prior to using it. Thus, certain aspects of the structure of a coaching session would be present in the Coach-Client Agreement, while other aspects would be more impromptu, adjustable, and discussed during the session itself.

A6. For online coaching, the coach contacts you or your group via WhatsApp on your registered number and then the sessions can be conducted over an audio or video call (whichever is preferable to you). Prior to scheduling a session, we suggest availing yourself of our free unconditional coaching option called H-Love, described on our Contact page. All calls and messages are strictly private and confidential, and the coach will help you or your group resolve your issues using multiple ideas, methods, and modes of communication.

A7. We offer in-person coaching in specific regions of the world on a customized basis, where our coaches are currently present and available. In-person coaching addresses specific issues for yourself or your team, while live public coaching events are more general and educational in nature, exploring newer concepts in personal and professional life.

A8. Most often, coaching-related topics tend to come from one of the three major areas of life: Health and Wellness, People and Relationships, and Career and Finances. If you have a question in your mind that you’ve been searching for an answer to, have repetitive thoughts or emotions that you find difficult to manage, need to make an important decision but would like to be more certain before proceeding, would like to change a habit that no longer serves your greater self, or would like to experience growth in one or more areas of life, you could use the help of a coach. While these are more common areas, there is no limit to the number of ways that a coach can serve as an asset to you. To explore further if a coach can help you, reach us through the H-Love link on the Contact page of our website and try out our unconditionally free session.

A10. The following guidelines are for clients to use during a coaching session:

• We will start with a Coach-Client Agreement, in order to set the structure and expectations of the coaching session.
• A disclaimer will need to be signed prior to the start of the session, noting that the outcome of the session cannot be pre-determined.
• The session will last for at least as long as you have signed up for, including breaks. Extension requests, if approved by your coach, would need to be made through our website prior to continuing the session.
• You may be asked to sit, lie down, stand, walk, visit alternate spaces, take notes, and/or make other changes from time to time during the session.
• Please note that a coach may guide you in different ways, such as through questions, ideas, intuitions, suggestions, visualizations, movement, educational content, music, film, dance, performing arts, and more, but any decisions are to be made by you alone.
• Due to the meditative, therapeutic, and sleep-inducing effect that the session may have, we advise against driving, lifting heavy objects, or participating in other such mentally, emotionally, or physically taxing tasks right after the session.

We are particularly interested in recommending individuals and organizations working in the Educational and Humanitarian Development space, which encompasses a number of different fields. As we are looking at connecting our customers with exceptional experiences by service providers that make the effort to address multiple human dimensions simultaneously through their service offerings, our selection criteria are unique to our own values and our selectivity rate tends to be very low.

For service providers that would like to apply to our recommendation program, simply choose the appropriate option on our Services page to schedule a meeting with our team, which will be conducted over a live online call, and present your service offerings over the call. We also intend to share our feedback with you over the call itself. The meeting can be as short as a few minutes to as long as an hour or more, but most meetings are completed in under 30 minutes. Our selection process generally takes under 1 week. If selected, we will contact you in order to obtain your details and add your services to the Hollistic® Recommended section of our website.

A4. Mr. H is a name that is not owned by any particular person. It is a term that can only be borrowed, for a particular time and situation, when one wishes to act in the best possible manner for that situation, which may mean going much beyond one's normal abilities, exhibiting what we call Hollisticity, a state of allowance of all positive qualities within oneself. So the bigger question here is... When will YOU be the next Mr. H? :-)
