Stillness vs. (e)Motion

2023/08/03

A Coaching Power Tool By Cyril Mehanna
Life Coach, GHANA

In life coaching, there must be a balance between the two power tools of Stillness vs. (e)Motion. A state of quietness, reflection, and introspection is characterized by stillness. We may be able to recognize some problems and learn more about ourselves as a result. On the other side, emotion refers to the expression of feelings and the processing of emotional experiences, which can aid in our progress and comprehension of how to deal with our own difficulties. Emotions have the power to propel us from a state of inaction to one of action, causing us to move toward our objective, and the intended result. In my role as a coach, I constantly make sure to assist my clients in finding the right balance between Stillness vs. (e)Motion.

2023/08/03

A Case Study By Darshini Santhanam
Personal Coach, UNITED KINGDOM

I’ll refer to the client as “Client M” throughout this “Clearing the Path” case study. M began working with me as a coach at the beginning of 2023. They had a lot of notes about their work when they arrived for the first session, and they wanted to find out what their next steps should be in terms of their careers. In this case study, I examine this client’s path to a greater sense of self and, ultimately, clarity on their career objectives. As a coach, I handled Client M’s situation with interest and understanding. Client M was going through a trying moment in his career; he was having trouble with the Uber culture and with unclear and conflicting directives from management, but he liked the work he was doing.

Resistance vs. Change

2023/08/02

A Coaching Power Tool By Ronda Harris
Blended Coach, NETHERLANDS

The concepts of change management as a driving force for progress form the foundation of the coaching power tool “Resistance vs. Change.” When I think back on my own coaching sessions, there have been several occasions when I have seen a client change their thinking. It’s amazing to watch them go through the transition on their own, and it’s satisfying for a coach to witness the effect coaching has on people. Implementing a change approach in a coaching setting can be very helpful when dealing with resistance. The first step in inspiring someone to accept change and take responsibility for finding the knowledge they need to advance is helping them become aware of what is holding them back.

Life Coaching and Emotions

2023/08/01

A Research Paper By Cyril Mehanna
Life Coach, GHANA

The coaching method involves “Life Coaching and Emotions” in a significant way. To assist people in realizing their full potential and achieving their goals, life coaching is a process. Emotions are a fundamental aspect of the human experience and have a huge impact on our attitudes, actions, and choices. Emotions can both inspire and impede our progress toward our goals, making the interaction between life coaching and emotions complicated. In my personal and academic life as a student, the importance of emotions in life coaching has been essential. The relationship between life coaching and emotions will be discussed in this essay, as well as how managing and understanding emotions may improve coaching.

The ORCHID model can support clients in finding a career that fits their interests, values, and ambitions. I used this strategy with a volunteer client in the tech sector who was looking for guidance in their career. I discovered that the ORCHID model can serve as a helpful foundation for assisting a mid-career IT worker with the process of career growth and goal-setting. We broke up the model’s exploration into six separate sessions. The client can get clarity on their career goals by working through each phase of the model. They can also create good habits and tactics for reaching those goals. Finally, they can regularly update their career plan to ensure continued success and advancement.

Understanding and Managing Personal Change

2023/07/31

A Research Paper By Alex Chu
Transformational Coach, TAIWAN

There is always a change. Our world is currently undergoing a constant change. Because of the economy’s reliance on change and the world’s economic markets, our culture now values creativity and innovation. What’s more, digital development has made information communication simpler than ever. People struggle to make sense of what is going on around them due to information overload and the pressure to act swiftly. All of these things prohibit us from taking the time to reflect on our true desires for our lives. We must pay attention to our deeper needs and pay heed to the message that our emotions are sending us. We must start responding to the world with defined intentions rather than simply reacting to it.

The 5M Coaching Model

2023/07/28

A Coaching Model By Paul Crabtree
Positive Attitude Coach, UNITED KINGDOM

The 5M coaching model is based on human motivation and behavior change, specifically the concept of flow developed by Hungarian psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. This model also includes a strong journaling and documenting style that keeps the client accountable and the process in check. It also has a foundation in cognitive behavioral therapy and positive psychology, especially since it aims to combat the self-talk brought on by cognitive distortions. As with all coaching methods, it supports clients in the ways they want to change by empowering choice and raising awareness. The Goldilocks zone of a suitable challenge to achieve goals and feel good about oneself is the foundation of the 5M coaching model, which takes a deep dive into the “who” of the individual.

Care vs. Control

A Coaching Power Tool By Darshini Santhanam
Personal Coach, UNITED KINGDOM

The most important conclusion a coach can draw from using the power tool of “Care vs. Control” is that clients are motivated to change and willing to consider alternative strategies. Supporting the client throughout this process will enable you to assist them in acquiring the abilities, perceptions, and coping mechanisms required to shift to a more sympathetic and constructive method of approaching their interactions with others. When referring to relationships or interactions with others, the word “control” often denotes a desire to manipulate or have an impact on other people’s actions or results. “Care” usually refers to a sincere concern for someone’s wellbeing or best interests when we use it with other people or in interactions with them.
