HOW WE BRING OUR WHY TO LIFE IN OUR BUSINESS
The name of our business is an adaptation of the word “Authentic”.
Authenticity is the core value that motivates every interaction and decision we make.
We help our clients identify and navigate toward their NorthStar. When they feel clear and connected to their own purpose, we fulfill our purpose of helping people live authenticity and aligned with their core values.
Our why is driven by the belief that when we consciously choose the person we wish to be, it is a choice that reflects the highest vision of our self. In so doing, we are able to align all that we say, do, and believe with our core values and our North Star.
AUTHENTIKA'S COACHING PHILOSOPHY
We work with you on an exploratory journey by asking powerful questions that facilitate introspection and greater self awareness. This process creates a clearer path to finding your North Star – your highest personal aspiration.
Coaching is a future-focused practice. Psychological intervention is outside the scope of our role. The starting point is where you are now. Together we co-create your goals along with strategies for overcoming challenges, communication difficulties, conflict and more. We leverage neuro-linguistic programming based on the work of Dr. Milton Erickson as it allows for a practical application of how people think and process information. We help you use innovative thinking to approach a situation for the possibilities it presents — solutions vs. problems.
Together we discuss and uncover challenges and observations. You are the expert of your own life. You are capable and resourceful even when in times when you might feel the opposite. Working with a coach should make you feel safe, supported and in a judgement-free environment where you have a strategic thinking partner to discuss your goals and design a plan that will move you in the direction that aligns with your values and what brings you energy and joy.
You’ll always feel SUPPORT
Safe - we provide a safe haven for confidential conversations
Understood - we provide a judgement-free zone where “What if?” ideas are encouraged
Proud - we celebrate our client’s accomplishments no matter the size
Poised - we help position our clients for success by readying them to tackle even their biggest challenges confidently and courageously
Optimistic - we believe our clients are resourceful and capable of achieving their goals
Responsive - we build client connections based on rapport, empathy, compassion and a deep sense of gratitude
Trust - we build trust one interaction and one decision at a time
WHY USE ASSESSMENTS?
To enhance the coaching experience and bring more of an evidence-based approach to the work, we offer a wide range of assessments to support each client's goals and strategic plans.
Assessments provide the foundation for dependable human performance answers.
We include assessments as part of our coaching model to promote positive outcomes in our client's personal and professional life. Completing assessments helps with leadership development, sales & customer service, team-building, communication & collaboration training, conflict resolution and succession planning. Each assessment measures a different, yet important, dimension of human behaviour or cognition.
Cancellation Policy
Should a cancellation of a meeting occur with less than 24 hours notice of a scheduled meeting, Authentika Consulting reserves the right to invoice the client for a missed meeting. Make-up sessions must occur within a week of the originally scheduled session. It is important that you prioritize the coaching experiences to receive its full benefit.
All contracts are binding. There are no refunds for coaching services. Before you sign the coaching welcome package agreement, please ensure you are fully committed to the coaching engagement and that you are certain we are the right coach for you.

PROFESSIONAL / LEADERSHIP COACHING
Working with a professional coach helps you identify your personal values, your purpose and the limitless possibilities that exist within you. We work with you on an exploratory journey by asking you powerful questions of yourself so you can clearly identify your North Star – your highest personal aspiration.
When you can see your North Star, you have a way to stay on course, no matter where you are.
When your North Star appears, it's so much easier to simplify your choices because you’re always guided on your path. When you’re clear about your North Star, you can more easily align your energy, emotions and actions in the service of your personal vision.
Working with a coach helps you define your North Star objectives – your aspirational goals that motivate, inspire and keep you uplifted as meteors of conflict, challenge and change threaten to tilt you off course.

What is a dosha? (source: The Chopra Center)
In Ayurveda, the five elements that are found in all living things—ether, air, fire, water, and earth—are the building blocks of life. While this foundation unites all humans, the manifestation of those elements through the doshas is what gives rise to our differences. How the three doshas appear, and in what proportion, is what makes each of us unique.
The 3 Doshas:
- The fiery and intense Pitta type may enjoy the occasional power trip. She will devour a mountain of food with ravenous hunger and yet be ready to eat again when it comes to the next meal.
- In contrast, a delicate Vata can never seem to get warm. She will nibble, snack, and graze her way through the day, and she may feel the need to rest often. She’s also inclined to talk about a number of diverse subjects,
- The contented Kapha type may, with great deliberation, consume three pieces of cake. She will spend quality time curled up on a couch making phone calls to loved ones with uplifting, motherly advice.
The role the doshas play is a dynamic one, constantly changing in response to weather, conditions, and stress. The habits—good or bad—that you create are manifestations of your dosha. You may be inclined to go a bit overboard on ice cream, spend too much time talking on the phone late at night, or neglect sleep when you need it most.
Whatever your habits, they all result in a shift in your make-up which could lead to the beginnings of disease if you balance yourself with care and a healthy diet.
Getting to know and appreciate your dosha is key to knowing yourself. It provides clues for what you should eat and what things you should address when your energy gets out of whack. The more you know about what may cause certain reactions or tendencies, the easier it will be to balance them.
