We are people working together beyond categories, beyond borders, and beyond competition. What is important to us? Better results for, with, and through people, both in the workplace and beyond the organization's walls. Why is this important to us? Accomplishing better results for, with, and through people is the same as accomplishing good.

Our mission is to enable thinking better, together, to create healthier lives, healthier organizations, and a healthier world. It's about accomplishing good things, and there's a formula for good that guides us.

Totally Coached, Inc. created the support methodology called Intrinsic Coaching®, which is based on the powerful formula, I > E > S. It guides our thinking; Intrinsic Coaching® is "Thinking better, together.™"

Accomplishing better results for, with, and through people, for the workplace and beyond, by way of thinking better, together, to accomplish goals, for healthier lives, healthier organizations, and a healthier world…how good is that?

Who does this?  People trained in Intrinsic Coaching®.

While Intrinsic Coaching® was created by Totally Coached, Inc., there's a science behind it demonstrating that when it comes to thinking better, together, I > E > S is a fact; approaching what's intrinsic as being more important than what's extrinsic and approaching what's extrinsic as being more important than what's systemic gets better results for, with, and through people.

What does this mean? It means getting our priorities straight so thinking better, together, becomes possible. It means maximizing resources and increasing strategies for accomplishing results.

Intrinsic, Extrinsic, Systemic? In plain language:

Intrinsic is the realm of uniqueness, singularity, unlimited and unpredictable variability, and people.

Extrinsic is the realm of practicalities, the material world, and the social world as it is defined by functions, categories, and comparisons.

Systemic is the realm of ideas, conceptualizations, and rules, shoulds, and oughts.

Intrinsic, extrinsic, and systemic each utilize a different logic. Of the three, intrinsic logic is universally and exceptionally weak and increasing it, even just a little, creates profound results and lasting benefits for people.

Who studies and applies this? People trained in Intrinsic Coaching®.

I > E > S has measurable impact.  Where does it come from?  Predicate Calculus and Set Theory, the mathematics of infinity, and Dr. Robert S. Hartman, the founder of Axiology.

Axiology originated when the young man Hartman witnessed organized evil and responded by launching a search to organize good. First, however, he had to find the answer to an important question: What is good?

From the young man who witnessed evil, Hartman went on to become a lawyer, then a judge, a philosopher, and, finally, a mathematical scientist devoted to the science of thinking so mathematically accurate it’s the only science of human behavior resembling a natural science, like physics, rather than a social science, like psychology.

Hartman, nominated for the Nobel Prize for his work, launched the basic science of thinking which, in turn, inspired the discipline of Intrinsic Coaching®.

Intrinsic Coaching® opens up and gives details to the intrinsic dimension of thinking, making the practice of I>E>S accessible, replicable, and natural in everyday life. What is the drive and spirit behind this? In part, the search by Christina Marshall, founder of Intrinsic Coaching®, for something simple that, if people could only know, would cause such a profound result that suffering that didn't need to be wouldn't be.

Given what we know of an interconnected universe, is it any wonder that quantum physics and quantum calculus should emerge as a supporting structure for a philosophy, then a science, and, now, a coaching methodology for so much good?

And that its application would be accessible, replicable, measurable, and benefit anyone, from clerk to CEO and from one part of the world to any other?

Let's make it real:

Have you ever been scolded for making a mistake? Did it make you feel stupid…embarrassed…like you were suddenly less than you were a moment before? Unfortunately, it's happened to all of us.

Did it help? Did it make you more careful? Did it make you a better person? Of course not. It was behavior influenced by S > E > I and it isn't what anyone wants; what's in charge is an idea that you have to be perfect (S) to "get it right" (E) and that "it" counts more than you (I). When S > E > I happens, you, a person with a lot to offer in that very moment, don't count and aren't figured into the equation of getting good results.

Think about it this way: Organizations run by S > E > I thinking severely diminish their resources and strategies for accomplishing good outcomes.

At the Steve Young Desert Classic fundraiser, a single contributor ($1.5 million) was to receive an award – a collage set behind glass with a beautifully polished dark wooden frame, around 2 1/2' X 3', not an insignificant size. A young man of 16 was asked to present the award and to hold it until it was time to present. Standing outside, waiting for the right time to enter the building, the 16 year old got distracted and the wooden frame hit the cement sidewalk. Hearing the thud, a representative of the recipient organization walked over to the young man, engaged him with eye contact, smiled, and said, "Hey...you're scarin' me." She glanced at the award and went back to what she was doing. The young man then held the award more carefully by resting it on top of his sneakers.

A simple story about I > E > S. Can you see it?

And, it's measurable.

I > E > S

Here's what I, E, and S awareness looks like when applied at work:

An older employee is assigned to a younger manager. From the beginning, he challenges her leadership and, ultimately, becomes disrespectful and sabotaging of her efforts. After months of this impasse, the manager dreads going to work and has trouble sleeping. She decides to become an Intrinsic Coach® in the hope that she will be a better manager and lead more effectively, including through difficult situations such as the one she is now experiencing.

In the first two hours of coach development, she learns about I, E, and S thinking, how each one yields more resources and strategies to accomplish outcomes than the one that follows, and how to shift her thinking into the I dimension so a greater number of strategies become apparent and her resources toward accomplishment are maximized. She realizes that she leads her thinking relative to this employee from an S perspective and has an insight to the limitations this creates – that beginning thinking with "he should be different toward me" (S thinking) limits the options that can emerge toward a resolution. She realizes that thinking along the lines of S > E > I minimizes her resources and strategies toward accomplishing a good outcome.

She makes a decision to learn more about I > E > S so she can turn her thinking around and, in the process, turn around the situation.

I hope you'll join us.
