Coaching and Quantum physics

Pauline Borrel
Pauline Borrel

Hello to you,

Have you ever tested ... quantum physics in your coaching sessions?

Quantum physics is a branch of physics that studies the properties of matter and energy at the smallest imaginable scale.

You know ... the infinitely small (electron, proton ..). This physics is the basis of the structure of everything around us. It has practical applications in many fields, such as electronics, cryptography and medicine.

For example, without it, we would not have smartphones, laptops or tablets.

But what does this have to do with coaching? That's what I asked Jean-Pierre, coach at iNNERSHiP. 

Because, in addition to bringing us all these numerous and powerful practical applications, quantum physics opens up new perspectives in the field of human understanding... and therefore of coaching!

So, rather than limiting quantum physics to its utilitarian aspects, it is enriching to understand the vision of reality that it implies.Indeed, if we define coaching as accompanying the coachee to change his vision of "reality", we understand that the lighting of quantum physics can inspire us.

Hi Jean-Pierre 👋

🗞️  I have read some articles about "quantum coaching". What do you think about it?

I don't agree with the term "quantum coaching" which just uses the buzzword "quantum" without any basis. However, ignoring what quantum physics can teach us about our vision of reality is another mistake in my opinion. So I see 2 mistakes to avoid, in which it is easy to fall:

 

  • using the magic of the word "quantum" all over the place without rigor (this is quite common). We speak of "quantum mysticism".
  • on the other hand, not wanting to consider the philosophical or even metaphysical significance of this physics by simply "calculating". 

 

🛠️ So what are the concepts that we can use, as a coach?

Here are 4 fundamental principles of quantum physics for which we can make analogies with coaching:

Other analogies are obviously possible with quantum physics but also with other fields of science such as relativity, chaos theory ... !

 It is as exciting as it is dizzying. Jim Carrey, famous actor and comedian, laughs about the complexity of quantum physics with the journalist Conan. Ready to finish on a humorous note? (Start from 1.30m)

Want to know more? It's hard to grasp the scope of these principles at once! If you're interested in the subject, don't hesitate to contact me on Linkedin. He has sent me several links for excellent video popularizations.

So, what should we try next time?
