Such a process of Executive Coaching using Zero Zone praxis for business leadership entails a conversion of a leader from a false self (trapped in fear, greed, resentment, and a distortion of reality) to an authentic self (steeped in forgiveness, acceptance, gratitude, compassion, and integrity).[1] Via such training, the leader specifies their purpose, becomes selfless and orientated to serving others, focusing on doing and being able to see a united goal within a greater moral perspective.[2] Bachkirova (2022) outlines a theory of individual development, grounded in the knowledge of the self from psychology, philosophy, and other disciplines. Her approach is practical, as the desire for fulfilment in an era of materialism is emerging in the context of rapid change in business and society with a growing social consciousness. This results in the leader experiencing a sense of commitment, connection, and transcendence. Allen and Fry (2019) foreground that today, executive leaders perceive a spiritual aspect to their work and seek to grow the spiritual facet of their lives, which a coach can support.[3]

I [3] Also, personal long-term Vipassana meditation practice and the worldview of the Dharma support a coach’s capacity to be present with an executive.

Flow is a state of deep concentration characterized by intense focus, equivalent to being completely absorbed in an activity. It is easy to enter this state; the challenge lies in maintaining it.
This training introduces Zero Zone Praxis (ZZ), especially encouraging one to reflect on one’s mind regularly, creating awareness about time and flexible focusing with focus guiding, developing a skill of detachment, explaining the essence of flow and how to use it and introducing different levels of consciousness for excellent daily performance. The ZZ Praxis has perceptual exercises and techniques with the lecture format to create an expanding intellectual understanding of the essence of the praxis. The best result will be achieved with repetitive training and daily application.
SESSIONS
STAGE 1: The Staircase
External, psychophysical. Playful partner exercises.
In this introductory session, we will explore how to create a shared space for collaboration. We will examine our ability to connect with others, how to harness the exchange of energy, and how our perception works.
Stage 2: Entry
Introverted kinesthetic awareness in practice. Mastering sensory techniques.
Techniques at the second level are aimed at shifting the focus inward from external (physical) activity. Here, the practitioner’s fine-tuning becomes more intimate and balanced. We become more precise, our perception sharpens, and our ability to distinguish increases. Self-observation and focus become more precise. Stability increases.
Stage 3:
The Dynamics of Zero Zone
Detailed information on consciousness, reflection techniques.
While the first two stages are driven by curiosity and a gradually developing awareness, supported by each participant’s personal insights, the third stage brings everything together into a cohesive whole: the reasons, the goal, the journey toward it, and the outcome.
Through this practice, you will learn and practice how to:
- Focus properly
- Maintain a flexible focus to manage it
- Clearly distinguish between personal, unnecessary emotions and supportive ones, and learn how to manage them
- A unique sense of timing
- Consistently create, implement, and practice genuine communication between partners
- Understand the different levels of consciousness and switch between them easily, and learn not to be afraid to do so
- How to boost your performance by establishing a deeper connection with your partner
- How to keep your innovation and drive alive instead of focusing on the desire to achieve
- How to prevent, avoid, or alleviate performance anxiety
- How to prevent conflicts both within a group and within yourself, and above all:
- How to discover and develop your unique potential!
