The Good Tension Framework: Navigate to Next

The Individual Journey

Life's most profound growth happens in the space between where you are and where you long to be. The Good Tension Framework is your structured guide through these powerful moments, designed to transform overwhelm into clarity and purpose.

Your Journey with Good Tension (A Typical Engagement):

Clients typically engage in the "Good Tension" Framework over a 3 to 6-month journey, involving bi-weekly 60-minute coaching sessions held via secure video call. This focused commitment ensures deep work and sustainable progress.

Your Foundational Steps (Pre-Framework):

  1. Good Tension Discovery Call: A complimentary 30-minute conversation to explore your unique tensions, clarify your coaching needs, and determine if our partnership is the right fit.

  2. Inner Compass Questionnaire: A reflective pre-coaching tool designed to help you articulate your goals, current challenges, and initial insights before our first formal session. This ensures we hit the ground running.
