Gordian's iCoaching process is a paradigm shift from traditional health management approaches that target "sickness" in time-limited contexts. Our Health Coaches partner with individuals to develop a personalized health program that is:

Individual-centric Gordian's whole-person iCoaching acknowledges that individuals may be simultaneously struggling with a chronic illness, at risk for other health conditions, and seeking to improve overall wellness. Personal Health Coaches meet individuals where they are, and offer guidance in addressing one or more health or lifestyle needs within a flexible coaching structure and time frame.

Strengths-based Individuals face unique pressures and barriers to achieving optimal health and productivity. Behavioral research has proven that the most important predictors of health are the individual's strengths and resources used to overcome these barriers. Coaching begins with an assessment of personal health and strengths, to identify the best pathways toward a long-term wellness lifestyle.

Relationship-driven Research has shown that the quality of a therapeutic alliance - based on trust and collaboration -is the second most critical determinate of outcome. Individuals are assigned a dedicated Health Coach to provide education and guidance, from initial need identification to final goal achievement. The result is a strong coaching partnership that fosters extrinsic and intrinsic motivation for behavior change.

Behavior-focused Gordian's coaching is grounded in the principles of positive psychology, focusing on personal strengths and engagement. In addition, iCoaching integrates behavior change principles from several well-established psychological disciplines, including transtheoretical (i.e., Prochaska's Readiness to Change), humanistic, behavioral and cognitive psychology. Gordian's success in driving individual behavioral change is demonstrated by many healthy returns.
