The Project SPICES™ Method
One Problem Can Be Connected to More Than One Part of Your Life.
Stress affects communication. Relationships affect performance. Exhaustion affects decisions.
Dr. Koo created Project SPICES™ to look at the whole picture: spiritual, physical, interpersonal, cognitive, emotional and social. It shows where your identity, purpose and power got buried, and where change can begin.

Questions
What People Ask Before They Start.
Still unsure? Tell us what you are facing and we will help you find the right place to begin.
What does an executive coach do?
An executive coach helps leaders think clearly about hard decisions, pressure, relationships and growth, then turn that clarity into action. Dr. Koo also looks at what sits underneath the problem, such as identity, purpose and power, so the change lasts.
Is coaching the same as therapy?
No. Coaching is not psychotherapy or medical treatment. It focuses on present situations, decisions, development and action. If clinical care would help, you will be encouraged to see a licensed professional.
Do I need to know exactly what I want to work on?
No. Many people begin with a situation that feels confusing. Part of the process is clarifying what deserves attention.
What is Project SPICES™?
Project SPICES™ is the method Dr. Sarai Koo created. It looks at six connected areas of life (spiritual, physical, interpersonal, cognitive, emotional and social) to find the root of a problem before deciding what to change.
Can my company sponsor coaching for one of our leaders?
Yes. Companies can sponsor one-to-one executive coaching for a CEO or senior leader. Goals, confidentiality and how progress is shared are agreed before coaching begins. Team and organization-wide work is led by Dr. Koo's consulting firm, Winning Pathway®.
How much does coaching cost?
It depends on the kind of coaching, its length and who is sponsoring it. After a first conversation about your situation, you receive a clear scope and investment before any coaching begins.
Can faith be part of my coaching?
Yes, if you ask for it. Faith-integrated coaching, including prayer and Spirit-led discernment, is offered only when a client chooses it. It is never assumed or required.
Sound familiar?
Same Problem. Different Room.
You changed the job, the team, the strategy or the conversation. The problem came with you.
When a problem keeps coming back, it usually is not the real problem. It is connected to who you are, what you are here for and how you use your power. That is where coaching starts.
What you can leave with
- IdentityKnow who you are.
Apart from the title, the expectations and the old stories.
- PurposeKnow what matters.
Clear on what you are here for and where your time should go.
- PowerLead with confidence.
Decide, speak up and act without doubting yourself.
- BreakthroughGet past the wall.
Move through the obstacle that kept stopping you.
- FreedomLet go of old hurt.
Put down what has been weighing you down.
Every person's path is different. Coaching supports your growth and decisions; it does not promise a specific result.
