  Wsquared

  Principal

  – Individual and Team Coaching for business success.WsquareD is derived from three words, that in my mind describes the very essence of what’s required to create the crucible for coaching, individuals or teams, so that coaching is able to deliver its maximum benefit.The three words are: Wā, the Maori word for "time, season, period of time, interval, term, duration"; wa, a Japanese word that means “the relational space between people, that recognises the way relationships are affected by the space they’re in”; and Dadirri, an Aboriginal word that means “deep reflective and respectful listening”. I acknowledge Tim Lomas’ Positive Lexicography Project for inspiring me to use words which have no direct English equivalent; to describe my approach and hence the creation of the business name WsquareD.
