Coaching at The Edge: The Power of Thresholds

Thresholds signify liminal space. 

The in-between state that marks the transition from one phase, identity, or way of being to another. It’s the pause between the known and the unknown, the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next.

Liminal spaces are rich with potential. They invite us to slow down, reflect, and choose how we move forward.

Thresholds can be physical, like crossing a doorway. Or emotional, like releasing a limiting belief. Or symbolic, like stepping into a new role or responsibility.

At The Beacon Collective, thresholds anchor everything we do.

They offer a powerful frame for transformation, where awareness and intention shape what comes next.

They provide the container for the coaching agreement and the purpose behind every integrative coaching session.

To name a threshold is to declare: “I am ready for something to be different.” It is a surrender to the unknown. A pause before the unfoldment.

But awareness alone is not enough. It is intention that gives a threshold its power.

Intention transforms a moment of transition into a conscious act of change.

Without it, we drift. Reacting to what happens around us. With it, we decide. Aligning our energy with what matters most.

I invite you to contemplate the four questions that anchor our coaching practice:

• What thresholds do you want to cross in the next three months?
• Why are they important now?
• What do you intend to happen within and around you as a result?
• How will you know you’ve crossed them?

Take time with your answers. Sit with what feels unfinished. Trust what’s stirring.

Because here’s the truth: Thresholds are where transformation lives.

They hold the potential to recalibrate how you lead, how you show up, and how you move forward.

When named with care and crossed with intention, thresholds become the milestones in the architecture of a well-designed life.

Until next time. 

With Clarity and Care, 

Courtney
