2023/09/05

A Coaching Power Tool By Cristina Diconescu
Executive Coach, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

The phrase “disruption vs. routine” describes the conflict that exists between the demand for innovation and change on the one hand, and the security and comfort that repetition and routine offer on the other. Organizations and individuals are continuously challenged to strike a balance between these two conflicting forces in today’s fast-paced environment. On the one hand, repetition and routine are necessary for an organization to function effectively. They allow people to master their profession and improve their abilities, while also giving them a sense of structure and predictability. Day-to-day work also fosters collaboration and confidence, as team members can rely on each other to follow established processes and procedures.

Ho scelto di chiamare il mio modello: Una scuola GAIA, nel senso di una scuola allegra, festevole; una scuola in cui tutti i membri che ne fanno parte siano protagonisti attivi, all’interno di un processo, quello dell’apprendimento, che facile non è, ma che lo si può rendere efficace e soprattutto alimentato e nutrito di “emozioni di abbondanza”.

Organizational Leadership Opportunities focusing on Employee Engagement + Growth & Development

A Research Paper By Cyrus Erickson
Executive Leadership Coach, UNITED STATES

The C-suite and executives must reassess and embed the importance of growth + development and its impact on employee engagement for today’s fleeting workforce. Capital expenditures should follow these guidelines. It has been a long time since any investments have been made in the expansion and improvement of human capital. Plans for mentorships, off-site training, online courses, and better or more advanced training are made every year with the best of intentions. However, these are the first programs to be eliminated, delayed, or postponed due to a lack of money. Additionally, deviating from the organization’s obligations and priorities delays these critical growth endeavors. The basis of leaders’ and organizations’ strategies to change from a mindset where “you (the employee) are the driver and owner of your development”

Mountain vs. Anthill

A Coaching Power Tool By Joanna Poplawska
Leadership Coach, UNITED KINGDOM

The mountain vs. Anthill power tool in coaching, in my opinion, a coach’s job is to help their client understand that their thoughts are only thoughts and not reality, to think about alternative explanations, to examine the available evidence, and to think about what they can do to handle the situation until they know the actual outcome. People can be pushed in the wrong direction by catastrophizing ideas, which can distract from new learning and instead waste it. The client acquires a greater understanding that a mountain might not actually be a mountain by recognizing that they lack the evidence necessary to accurately forecast other people’s behaviors, thoughts, and feelings as well as the fact that they are unable to read minds. Their unwarranted fear, worry, and negative behaviors can be released by de-catastrophizing discourse.

A Coaching Model By Renae Waneka
Leadership and Business Coach, UNITED STATES

The SOAR coaching model is based on the idea that women have career goals and aspirations, and that in order to achieve these aspirations, they need help overcoming some structural barriers as well as personal habits and behaviors. No matter their position in life or at work, being aware of the importance of the issues they are bringing to the table and how they fit with their internal purpose will help them stay internally oriented and demonstrate the qualities that set them apart. The SOAR Coaching Model helps women use the “purpose to impact” idea to link the challenges they face at work to their sense of purpose. This idea enables them to live a purposeful life and gives them the motivation to create an action plan to achieve their career goals.

Kris is the name of the paying client I’ve been working with for several weeks. Kris, a talented visual artist, finds it difficult to express herself verbally; during her coaching sessions, she frequently sketches down her thoughts and answers. I showed her the FlipIt! After discovering that she learns best with graphics. Consider Power Tool as a potential option for a subsequent session. Kris agreed right away and proposed using the FlipIt! a tool for our upcoming meeting. Chris’ goal for the next meeting was to discuss how to increase her happiness and carefree engagement during evening walks. Kris admitted that she frequently carries work-related thoughts with her on her nighttime strolls, keeping her mind busy.

Errore vs. Errare

A Coaching Power Tool By Valeria Iannazzo
Coaching Per Student, ITALY

Il mio Errore vs. Errare Power tool è frutto di un percorso che raccoglie i frutti di anni di esperienza nell’ambito dell’apprendimento, che mi vede protagonista: come allieva, insegnante, madre e oggi anche coach. L’ apprendimento mi ha sempre affascinata, lo si associa spesso a contesti puramente scolastici, ma basta fermarsi un attimo per capire che, è un processo che accompagna ogni momento della nostra vita e quindi, non circoscrivibile in termini di spazio e di tempo.

A Coaching Model By Adrian Baban
Change Coach, ROMANIA

The JUMP coaching model emphasizes consistency, pledging to devote a brief amount of time to the strategy you want to develop every day. JUMP investigates the “essence of having a choice” by empowering you through the creation of defined goals, an awareness of barriers, practical strategies for each tiny step, and regular evaluation of your progress toward your desired outcomes. To continue developing, both personally and professionally, you must be prepared to leap when the opportunity arises. Changing careers and career paths is often necessary when imagining your future self. Change is difficult. Ask anyone who has attempted to change occupations, learn a new skill, strengthen a bond with a partner, or kick a harmful habit.

Conflict Avoidance in the Workplace

2023/08/25

A Research Paper By Miho Kuroda
Transformational Coach, JAPAN

In this research paper, I’ll examine how we deal with conflict, the factors that lead to conflict avoidance, and the ways in which coaches can encourage their clients to adopt more constructive thought and behavior patterns. Also noted are the takeaways from the real-world case. Employees at all levels need to address performance management challenges like interpersonal conflict and conflict avoidance. Avoiding conflict and unpleasant talks can cost your business money and result in the departure of some of your best employees. When your client is conflict-averse, you should encourage them to stay anchored in facts and concrete examples and to thoroughly understand how the disagreement will affect their business. The client can change their perspectives by using mindful listening and reframing.

A Coaching Power Tool By Renae Waneka
Business Coach, UNITED STATES

The Lack-Of-Confidence vs. Courage Coaching power tool that builds on the premise of reshaping coaching, giving clients a new understanding of their own situation. The definition of confidence is “a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities.” Lack of confidence and the fear of asking for what you want can impede a woman’s career. In order to advocate for themselves at work and move closer to reaching their professional goals, women who reframe their viewpoints from ones of fear and insecurity to one of courage and confidence may find it easier to deal with gender stereotypes in the workplace. With the aid of this powerful coaching tool, a coach may better their client’s self-awareness and give them clarity about their values and future stages in their professions.
