In an individual session, you tell what happened. We go deeper into the reflex mechanisms.In the Circle, it is lived.
A hesitation. A disagreement. A difficult request. An unexpected reaction. The behaviour becomes visible at the moment it happens.
You can then observe it, adjust it and start again. That is what turns an insight into a new possibility of action.
From automatic to chosen
When we are in a familiar environment, many of our reactions are automatic. We know how to position ourselves, how to ask, how to say no, how to read a meeting, how to handle a disagreement. When the ground changes, those same reflexes become less reliable.
Automatic
What starts before you even have time to choose.
Chosen
What you decide to do in the seconds that follow.
That is the difference we train. Not by talking more about the problem. By putting it into practice.
| What it works on | What you get from it | |
|---|---|---|
| A professional network | Access to people | Opportunities, if you work the room |
| A coach | Your goals | A plan, which assumes you will know how to carry it out |
| Therapy | Your history | Understanding, and time |
| A dojodozo Circle | What starts in spite of you in professional relationships | Another way of reacting, tested in situation |
You can attend a network for three years and react in exactly the same way in a meeting.
What dojodozo is not
It's not coaching.
I don't give you a list of goals to achieve.
It's not therapy.
We work on professional situations and on the behavioural mechanisms linked to change and loss of identity. If care from a health professional is needed, I point you to one.
It's not career consulting.
I don't decide your next step for you.
It's not a networking group.
Connections may happen naturally, but they are not the goal.
It's a practice space.
A place to look at what is happening.
To try something different.
To regain your ability to choose.
Your situation doesn't have to be “serious.”
You may simply feel that something no longer works the way it used to.
Whether you are working, looking for a job, taking a pause, building something new, or you ended up in Japan because your partner did.
You don't need to start your life over. You may simply need a new place to look, practise and find your footing.
New country. New rules. New you? Find your footing.
