The Alignment Sessions

Apply to be an Participant

Share Your Journey.
Help Others Break the Reaction Cycle.

 
Real coaching. Real stories. Real transformation.

What if the reaction you keep having isn't really about what's happening now?  

What if underneath the frustration, anxiety, judgment, defensiveness, people-pleasing, withdrawal or need to control is a pattern you've been carrying for much longer than you realize?

 The Alignment Sessions are an opportunity to explore that pattern with me through 2–3 complimentary one-on-one coaching sessions.  There's just one difference from my regular private coaching:  These sessions are recorded so others can learn from the process too.

Why The Alignment Sessions?

We all have moments when something happens and our reaction seems to take over.

Someone says something.  

Someone doesn't do what we expected.  

We feel rejected, criticized, ignored, disrespected or misunderstood.  

And before we know it, we're caught in a familiar cycle of thoughts, emotions and behaviours.  We usually focus on changing the situation.  

The Alignment Strategy asks a different question:  What's happening inside me that's creating this reaction?  

That's where our work begins.

What Happens During an Alignment Session?

You bring something real from your life.

 It might be:

  • A relationship that continually triggers you 
  • A situation you can't stop thinking about 
  • A recurring conflict 
  • People-pleasing or difficulty setting boundaries 
  • Worry or the need to control an outcome 
  • Judgment of yourself or someone else 
  • Defensiveness, anger or frustration 
  • Withdrawing or shutting down 
  • An emotional reaction you don't fully understand 
  • A pattern you recognize but haven't been able to change

You don't need to diagnose the problem before you arrive.  Bring the reaction. We'll get curious about what's underneath it.

Together, We'll Slow Down the Reaction Cycle

Instead of immediately trying to change how you feel, we'll begin with awareness.
 We'll explore:  
What actually happened?
What are the facts of the situation?
 
What did your mind make it mean?
We'll separate what happened from the interpretation your mind created.  

What are you believing?
We'll uncover the limiting beliefs underneath the reaction.  

What happens when you believe those thoughts?
We'll notice the emotions, physical experiences and behaviours that follow.  

Where did this pattern begin?
 
We may explore earlier experiences that helped shape the beliefs and strategies you're using today.  

Is the old belief actually true?
We'll question it and explore alternate perceptions.  

And then comes the important part:  

What would your aligned self choose now? 
This isn't about replacing a "negative thought" with a positive one.  It's about seeing the old pattern clearly enough that you no longer have to automatically live from it.

Break the Reaction Cycle. Return to Alignment.

Alignment doesn't mean you'll never get triggered again. It doesn't mean becoming endlessly agreeable. And it certainly doesn't mean pretending something doesn't bother you.

Alignment is the ability to recognize when you've become caught in a reaction and create enough awareness to choose what happens next.

That might mean speaking. It might mean not speaking. Walking away. Changing your mind. Doing nothing.

Or simply realizing: The story my mind is telling me isn't necessarily the truth.

That's freedom.

If selected, you'll receive:

  •  2–3 Complimentary Private Coaching Sessions - We'll work together one-on-one to explore your reaction cycle and the beliefs and patterns underneath it.

Everything is complimentary. There is no financial cost to participate in The Alignment Sessions.

Why Are the Sessions Complimentary?

Because you're giving something too.

 You're willing to share your journey.  

The Alignment Sessions are being created to let people see The Alignment Strategy in action.  

It's one thing for me to explain awareness, limiting beliefs, reaction cycles and alignment.  It's another thing to watch someone have the moment when they suddenly realize:  "That's what I've been believing." 
 
Or:  "I've been reacting to something that isn't actually happening anymore." 

Or simply:  "I never saw that before."  

Those moments can be powerful for the person being coached.  They can also be powerful for someone watching.  Your story may become the doorway through which someone else recognizes their own.

An Important Part of Participating The Alignment Sessions are recorded.

Because the purpose of this project is to help others learn from real coaching conversations, you must be comfortable being recorded.

 Selected portions of your sessions may be used publicly through Lori Brant Coaching platforms, including social media, YouTube, my website, courses, presentations and educational or promotional materials.  

Before we begin, you'll receive the full details and complete a Participant Agreement and Media Release.  You'll know what you're agreeing to before your first session.

You Don't Need to Have It Figured Out

You don't need to know what limiting belief is underneath your reaction.

 You don't need to understand The Alignment Strategy.  

You don't need experience with coaching.  

You don't need a dramatic story.  

And you definitely don't need to arrive perfectly aligned.  

You only need something real you're willing to explore.  

Maybe you know exactly what that is.  Maybe you just know:  "I keep reacting this way and I don't understand why."  That's enough.

Is This Right for You?

The Alignment Sessions may be a good fit if you're willing to:

  • Explore yourself with curiosity 
  • Look beyond what someone else "did" and examine what's happening inside you
  • Question beliefs that currently feel true
  • Notice your emotional and behavioural patterns without immediately judging them 
  • Practice what we discover between sessions
  • Be open and authentic during our conversations
  • Have your coaching sessions recorded and potentially shared publicly 

Most importantly, you need to be willing to look at your reaction rather than simply prove that you're right about it. That is where some very interesting doors begin to open.

What Happens After You Apply?

Complete the short application and tell me a little about yourself and what you'd like to explore.

 I'll review the applications and select a small number of people whose situations are a good fit for this project.  

If you're selected, you'll receive information about:
     Scheduling your sessions
     Preparing for your first session
     Accessing your Participant Package  

Then we'll begin.

Share Your Journey. Help Others Break the Reaction Cycle.

Your experience is yours.

 But what you discover through it may resonate with someone you've never met.  

They may recognize their relationship.  

Their fear.

 Their belief.  

Their reaction cycle.  

And watching you see yours differently might help them begin seeing theirs differently too.
