Introduction to Coaching

In 1:1 coaching, we embark on a co-constructive experience together. As your coach I have an extensive knowledge of human psychology and behavior while you are the expert on you! My programs are set up for complete transformation and empowerment by equipping you with tools that you will use to make adaptive changes for the rest of your life.

What the Domains Offer

I offer a series of domains that are designed to help you uncover your current barriers to change and empower you to reach your full potential. Each experience contains learning content and exercises that facilitate deep reflection on your current circumstances, defining your change, as well as a structured plan for making the leap, with my full support every step of the way.

The Research

The Adaptive Edge Framework was developed at Harvard and perfected over years of experience helping people to meet all types of goals in their personal and professional life. I have drawn from theory and methods in psychology, neuroscience, and adult learning to bring you personalized experiences that are as complex as the mind itself.

Why it Works

Beyond the research-based methods, the coaching works primarily because of the emphasis I put on the relationship between coach and client. I focus on empathy in every interaction and have a sharp memory for your deep desires, pain points, and patterns. I also have a keen sense for control and pacing and involve the client in the meaningful decision making on every step of the journey. Take a look at what my previous clients are saying about their experiences.

Your Coach

Greg Murray, Ed.M

As a developmental psychologist I have a deep understanding of how people learn, grow, and change over time. I have worked with a wide range of clients, supporting people in overcoming deeply ingrained beliefs and patters in their personal lives to changing careers and meeting professional goals.

The Adaptive Edge Framework is the culmination of years of research in developmental and social psychology, neuroscience, and behavior change, and is founded in Harvard professor Robert Kegan’s constructive developmental theory and Immunity to Change coaching method.

In addition to 1:1 coaching, I consult with schools and learning organizations and lecture at EM Lyon Business School on topics of interpersonal communication and professional development. I am an incoming doctoral student in social psychology and mental health at Emory University and I hold a masters in human development and psychology from Harvard and a bachelor of arts in Sociology from the University of Pennsylvania.

FAQ

What is a life coach? Is it different from therapy?

Like therapy, coaching focuses emotional expression and meaning making, which are central to any growth process. My coaching tends to be more goal-oriented and self-driven than most therapeutic approaches, and at Adaptive Edge Coaching we also provide you with psycho-education and tangible exercises so that you understand the process of psychological change deeply and are empowered to meet change goals more easily in the future.

How long does the coaching last?

Many people benefit from single issue coaching, particularly for interpersonal communication and assertiveness training. Many times people experience significant growth in these areas in just four sessions. If you are going through a major life change or trying to change deeply ingrained patterns, then we can expect engagements of around 4-6 months or longer.

What is Adaptive Edge Academy?

Adaptive Edge Academy is the e-Learning platform that houses all of our educational videos. As a 1:1 coaching client, the e-learning is an essential part of your development where you will access videos and exercises tailored specifically to you.

How will a life coach help me reach my goals?

In short, I will help you define your goals and understand deeply the subconscious psychological processes that are preventing you from making a change. From there you will complete exercises and take action in the areas of psychological change, emotional regulation and intelligence, identity construction, and interpersonal communication. I am highly empathetic and adapt my style and pacing to match my clients’ needs.

What if I am not sure about my goals and which path I want to follow?

Some of my clients already have their specific goals lined out before we begin, while others just have a sense of feeling stuck and wanting to change. Contact me with your initial thoughts and I will send you a brainstorming exercise and, as always, the initial consultation is free to decide if we are a good match for each other.

Do we meet in person for sessions or virtually?

Due to the pandemic, all sessions take place online through Zoom.

Testimonials

“After struggling for years with mental health challenges, and experiencing little to no lasting relief from traditional treatment practices (therapy + medications), Adaptive Edge Coaching has been life changing. I’ve learned how to welcome all emotions with appreciation and understanding, instead of fear and shame. My language and perspective have shifted, boosting my confidence. I am finally learning how to create a life that makes me want to be alive.”

Dana P.

"Greg was to be able to achieve professional sustainability, growth and success, as I move up the ladder of being a junior employee to senior positions. This had been a struggle for me in the past few years, to work with senior leadership and their different existing yet invisible power centers and motivations. Greg, via his theoretical knowledge and activities, allowed me to identify my various identities and the perceived threat that they face in different situations. That, along with guidance of how to navigate a number of situations, while keeping my identity and self, has truly made me feel empowered and hopeful for my growth. It is still a WIP, but I am confident that with my work with him, I shall be able to become stronger and informed as an individual.”

Madhav

"Greg is incredible. He understands peak performance from all sides. The science and academia, practicalities of how to bring transformation to life, and how to move forward to make real progress. What sets Adaptive Edge apart is the thoroughness and actionability. There are deep, long lasting changes and immediate benefits. I have gained a clear perspective on what is getting in my way, and actionable steps to how I can move past it. The awareness Greg has helped me achieve is truly life changing."

Alex

"Through conversation and written exercises, Greg has helped me identify thought patterns that were getting in my way to achieving my personal goals. Now, I'm able to take intentional actions to get me on my way!"

Jane

"Working with Greg at Adaptive Edge Coaching has been a great experience so far. One thing I really like is that we have diversified the use of our time rather than solely focusing on one topic or structure. It has been the perfect balance of looking at the past, doing inner self-reflection to identify links between thoughts, feelings, and emotions, and forward-looking tactics to set and achieve goals. Additionally, we have blended discussions on topics such as the evolution of self and identity, approaches to relationships, and work-life balance."
