Unique Self Institute

Programs and courses

The Unique Self Coaching process, and its signature program “Unique Self Emergence” created by Barbara Alexander and Claire Molinard, is a powerful change technology that taps into the deepest aspects of your life to reveal your unique potential and facilitate its emergence as your Unique Self.

Unique Self Coaching offers a dynamic and modular curriculum that can be adapted to individuals and groups in a wide range of contexts. Because the process facilitates getting to the heart of who you are – an irreducible expression of the Love Intelligence that animates all of existence – and how the creative impulse of this Source wants to express through you, it has many applications.

Unique Self Emergence Coach Training Program

This program has two tracks:

Facilitator track

This track is for change agents who, in addition to undergoing their own process of transformation, want to learn how to apply the Unique Self emergence Process to their already existing work with people. This certification program trains them to utilize the process with individuals and groups in a variety of contexts. 

Auditing track

This track is for anyone who wishes to experience the Unique Self Emergence Process for their own benefit, without supervision or 1:1 Coaching. You will have access to all the group coaching and teaching calls, as well as all the online content. This track does not lead to Unique Self Coaching certification.  

.

Both tracks include:

Monthly mentoring & group coaching Zoom calls:

For a total of 18 hours of mentoring in the theoretical framework, including the Unique Self Teachings,  Theory U, Integral Theory, Enneagram, neuroscience, and how to use these tools in coaching. 

Monthly group practice Zoom calls.

For a total of 18 hours of group coaching focussing on embodiment and integration of the teachings through practice. 

Fieldwork between the Zoom calls that include reading, writing assignments, and practices

This work is significant. You can expect several hours a week, but no busy work, only assignments essential to the formative process.

Participation in an online Unique Self Emergence Learning Community

Each cohort has its own private platform (away from the noise of mainstream social media) where assignments are posted and members can stay in contact and support each other.

In addition to the Auditing track, the Facilitator track includes:

Individualized coaching to facilitate your own Unique Self emergence

Ten 90-minute private coaching calls as well as online access to your faculty coach when you have questions or need support.

Supervision as you work with two volunteer clients to learn the Unique Self Emergence Process

Once you begin to work with your volunteer clients, the coaching calls will also include a time for supervision designed to facilitate you in utilizing the USE Process with others.

Who Should Attend

Facilitator track

Coaches, Therapists, Spiritual Directors and Consultants: this program is for you, and for all change agents whose own journey leads them to desire to play a role in the spiritual development of their clients—one that is grounded in sound psychological and spiritual principles.

The principles and framework of Unique Self Emergence can be integrated into a variety of modalities. Students have utilised the framework in the context of therapy, leadership development, coaching, and spiritual direction. The modular nature of the framework enables you to integrate it into your work in whatever way you feel called.

Upon completion, you will join a growing community of Unique Self Emergence Facilitators who are finding remarkable ways to support each other as they use the process in a broad array of settings.

Auditing track

Anyone who seeks to be deeply immersed in the Unique Self coaching process while also receiving the unique holding and benefits of a group container. This track does not lead to certification in Unique Self Emergence Coaching. There is however, the option to add private coaching sessions with one of our coaches, in addition to the group calls. 

Program Highlights
