The Role of Coaching in Tackling Procrastination

2022/12/15

A Research Paper By Heather Prentice Schmidt,
Empowerment Coach, CANADA

Procrastination is traditionally defined as “putting off intentionally the doing of something that should be done.” One common misconception is that people who procrastinate do so consciously, either out of weakness, laziness, or another character flaw. Chronic procrastinators are often told that the solution to their woes is to adopt the Nike slogan “Just do it! ” Regardless of the reasons, root causes, or psychology behind procrastination, the only real solution is action. When dealing with the emotional pain of persistent procrastination, this fact is easier said than done.

A Coaching Power Tool By Maryan Cabdi
Parents Coach, UNITED KINGDOM

Using the coaching power tool “Challenge Your Perception vs. Accept Your Perception,” the client can determine whether their perception is accurate or just a limiting belief by first testing it. With the aid of this tool, the coach can assist the client in challenging any outdated or harmful beliefs rather than simply accepting them. The client is then motivated to replace the disempowering beliefs with more empowering ones and to use daily positive affirmations to ingrain the new belief until it becomes reality.

A Coaching Model By Laura Davison
Empowerment Coach, UNITED KINGDOM

The SUMMIT coaching model is intended to provide a comprehensive and broad (but not all-inclusive) overview of the relationship that develops when a coach works with a client. Although it includes the ICF Core Competencies, the client-coach relationship and interaction must be effective for it to be successful. Always keep in mind what will support and enhance a particular coaching style and increase the value of the client’s experience when selecting the right coaching model. It’s crucial to understand that every client is different and that not everyone follows the same thought processes or makes the same choices. Some clients tend to think and speak in circles, off on tangents, and very rarely in straight lines.

School Staff Wellbeing

A Research Paper By Alison Mitchell
Leadership Coach, NETHERLANDS

In this paper on school staff wellbeing, I’ll discuss some of the problems that schools currently face around the world, such as issues with staff retention and recruitment as well as low engagement in various educational systems. I’ll introduce the idea of having a distinct framework for well-being in schools, in this case, the PROSPER model, after briefly defining positive psychology and well-being. I will then go on to show ways in which coaching in schools could help develop and sustain this framework to embed a positive culture, focused on the well-being of the school staff. This essay’s main concern is adults who work in educational settings. The framework can also be used to emphasize the welfare of the students.

Driving is the opposite of drifting, and drifting is the non-choice choice, according to the Drifting vs. Driving power tool for defining the two terms. A coach is a crucial ally in the transition from driving to drifting. The coaching environment can help a client in a number of ways, such as by assisting them in re-connecting with themselves and accessing the resources and dreams they have deep inside, recognizing the obstacles and limitations standing in their way, reflecting their beliefs to help them gain new perspectives and access to new opportunities, by identifying the supports, structures, and systems that will help them change, and by providing a process for commitment and accountability when they need to.

There is a lot of emphases placed on how important it is for parents to take care of themselves and how that can affect how they parent and how they interact with their kids. Being a parent entails having to take care of both your own needs and the needs of the child. Parents must then take care of their own needs in order to successfully carry out their parental duties. The coaching journey of the FIND YOUR PEACE model begins with inner self-improvement, helping client parents to nourish themselves. As a result, they will increase their resilience and peace in their parenting journey. The four main aspects of well-being that make up the dynamic human experience are the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.

A Research Paper By Karin-Ann Holley
Life Coaching for Educators, NETHERLANDS

Caring for Burned Out Educators, the global educational system is in crisis in many nations. Maximized levels of stress and burnout among educators are a trend that has been made worse by the COVID pandemic. Teaching in blended learning environments, dealing with ongoing policy and procedure changes, health, and safety concerns, supporting students with more frequent mental health issues, and communicating with concerned parents are just a few of the difficulties educators have had to deal with in the past two years. The low status and pay of teachers in many nations don’t help the situation. Teachers are retiring early and others are leaving the profession because they are overworked and underpaid, worsening teacher shortages in many nations around the world.

Most clients who seek a coach’s support and guidance do so because they want to realize their dreams, reach their goals, find their purpose, and increase their level of happiness. However, they often find that they cannot do this on their own because they lack confidence in their ability to successfully make this transition. When my coaching power tool, “Expecting the Worst vs. Preparing for the Best,” is used, the client is finally free to envision the best outcome and begin defining their own standards of success, giving them the limitless opportunity to see their own future as a blank piece of paper, free from any preconceived notions of failure.

Applying Positive Intelligence Model in Parent Coaching

2022/12/01

A Research Paper By Maryan Cabdi
Parents Coach, UNITED KINGDOM

The Positive Intelligence model helps parents identify and control their emotions before reacting to their children’s behavior. Because they choose to respond more positively, parents who can self-regulate their emotions are better able to handle parental conflicts and challenges, protecting both the parent and the child from mental breakdowns. A framework model called “positive intelligence” combines performance science, cognitive psychology, positive psychology, and neuroscience. Similar to strengthening muscles at the gym, positive intelligence supports and trains the brain to be more positive. According to recent research on neuroplasticity—the brain’s capacity to change even in adulthood—people are rewiring their brains as they acquire new habits.
