Introduction to IFS Coaching
At FINO, we offer Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed transformational coaching as a way to access Self-leadership.
​
Instead of trying to “fix” people or push for more performance, we create a space where you can:
​
see your inner patterns clearly,
understand what’s driving them,
and access the parts of you that are wise, steady, and creative.
​
We do this with individuals, leaders, and teams who are ready for more than tips and tools - they’re ready for real change in how they show up.
Why Choose IFS Coaching?
IFS coaching is a guided journey into your inner system.
​
Most of us have parts that:
​
-
push us to overwork,
-
criticize everything we do,
-
keep us small and quiet,
-
or take over when we feel threatened.
IFS coaching helps you build a different relationship with those parts. Instead of fighting them, you learn to listen, understand, and lead them from a place of Self.
​
For organizations, team coaching with FINO creates a shared language and a deeper level of trust. People can name what’s happening inside them without shame - which opens the door to better collaboration, honest feedback, and healthier conflict.
About IFS for Self-leadership
IFS was developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz over 40 years ago. It’s an evidence-based model of transformation that sees people as systems - with many different parts and a core Self.
​
Self has what we often call the 8 Cs:
​
calmness
curiosity
clarity
compassion
confidence
creativity
courage
connectedness
​
In coaching, we don’t teach these qualities. We help you access them, even when you’re under pressure.
​
Self-led people:
​
make decisions from clarity instead of panic,
respond instead of react,
and stay grounded when things get intense.
​
This is powerful on its own – and it becomes even more powerful when an entire team is learning these skills together.
​
Benefits of IFS Coaching
Better communication
When people understand their own triggers, conversations get clearer and feedback gets easier.
​
Regenerative performance
Growth that lasts - not short bursts followed by exhaustion. Teams aligned with their values, moving together and applying the right habits to sustain their work.
Clearer decisions
​
More access to Self means less panic, more clarity, and the ability to see options that weren't visible before.
More resilience
​
By working with internal pressure - not just workload - people recover faster and stay present instead of burning out.
​
Stronger leadership
​​
Leaders who know their own patterns stay calmer in conflict, own their impact, and create real psychological safety.
Healthier Boundaries
People learn to notice the parts that overwork or over-give, and start protecting their energy before it's gone.
How it Works
Every coaching engagement starts with a discovery call.
​
We listen to:
​
what’s happening now,
what you’re wanting to change,
and who is involved (you, your leaders, a full team, or multiple teams).
​
From there, we co-design a simple, realistic plan – which might include 1:1 coaching, team circles, or a mix.
​
For teams that want to go deeper together, we can also design immersive offsites that combine IFS-informed work, somatic practices, and shared experiences.
Self-leadership for a Better Future
IFS coaching at FINO is not about turning you into a different person. It’s about helping you lead from the best of who you already are - and bringing that into your relationships, your work, and your organization.
