Two paths. One return.
Two paths. One return.
Some people arrive here because something in their life has quietly stopped fitting. The career, relationship patterns, the carefully constructed version of themselves. Successful by every visible measure, but somehow not quite theirs.
Not broken. Just misaligned. And ready to come back.
Others arrive because something in their practice has stopped fitting.They became a coach for a reason — a real one. And somewhere between building a business and meeting the industry’s expectations, that reason got harder to feel.
Not failing. Just drifting. And ready to return to the ground from which masterful coaching actually emerges.
Which path is meant for you?

Meet Lerae Gidyk
Lerae has been coaching since 1999 — before coaching was an industry, before it had a LinkedIn aesthetic, before the frameworks multiplied and the funnels arrived.
She became one of Canada’s first Master Certified Coaches in 2006. Since then, she has logged more than 15,000 coaching hours across 43 countries, helped shape generations of coaches and mentor coaches, and has been appointed by the International Coaching Federation to co-lead the first global Community of Practice for Mentor Coaches.
Her authority in this space has never come from performance. It comes from devotion to the work itself — and from more than 27 years of protecting what can so easily get lost beneath technique, branding, business-building, and industry expectation:
That a human being is not a problem to solve.
If you’re working too hard you’re not coaching.
A coach’s most powerful tool is not a framework, it is their presence.
That belief is what built Soul Designs. And it’s what SourceWorks™ exists to pass on.
Today, Lerae leads this work personally through Soul Designs Coaching International — and she is also training and developing a faculty of practitioners who will carry these approaches forward over time, so the work remains true, embodied, and intact as it grows beyond any one person.
