From Delay… to Lightness!

2023/08/15

A Case Study By Audrey Falduzzi
Life Coach, SWITZERLAND

The case study is on Natasa, an ICA student, and is titled “From Delay… to Lightness.” A few months ago, we began doing weekly or biweekly peer coaching sessions. Our mutual respect and non-judgment is the foundation of our trusted friendship. Prior to the session, we decided to use the Flip It tool. Because of this, she was aware that the session would enable her to try to address a persistent problem that she desired to alter and was willing to do so. Natasa learned a lot about herself thanks to the Flip It tool, which performed wonderfully well. It took two sessions to develop a potent awareness-raising technique (session 1) that made it crystal plain to Natasa how she needed to alter her perspective.

A Coaching Model By Monika Steimle
Leadership Coach, GERMANY

The Purpose-Paradigm-Path coaching model, which I use, explains my coaching style and philosophy and gives clients an understanding of how I think and the type of coaching work they may expect from me. As every coaching experience is quite different, this fact isn’t a step-by-step breakdown, but it does provide you the chance to consider whether this general idea fits your needs. Contemporary leaders often begin their journey of mentoring and deep reflection by embracing new leadership values. Clarity of purpose is necessary for self-transformation. Your greater mission directs the principles of your inner leadership and directs you on the way to real, lasting change. I am here to assist you and direct you along your path.

A Coaching Power Tool By Miho Kuroda
Transformational Coach, JAPAN

The power tool Feeling Challenged vs. Embracing Learning encourages a client to let go of their limiting and debilitating beliefs and replace them with empowered ones. The tool can be used in both professional and everyday settings. We frequently analyze the dangers associated in a project and feel dread, pessimism, and other negative emotions right away. Many of my coworkers, managers, and friends have difficulty understanding and embracing a difficult or stressful circumstance with a positive outlook and attitude, seeing it as an opportunity for learning and development. The intention is for the clients to feel empowered to view the circumstance as a teaching opportunity and continue with their lives.

An empowering conversation encourages and supports the personal development and self-efficacy of the participants. Active listening, empathy, polite communication, and an emphasis on strengths, opportunities, and solutions rather than problems or limitations are hallmarks of empowering conversation. Empowering conversation helps people acknowledge their agency, take responsibility for their decisions and deeds, and gain the self-assurance and abilities they need to succeed. In general, having empowering conversations gives people the confidence they need to make life-changing decisions.

A Coaching Model By Michelle Bradley
Leadership Coach, TAIWAN

A coach’s ability to appropriately perceive behavior can be improved by developing cultural EQ. It is crucial for us as coaches to comprehend our clients’ underlying beliefs and expectations when working with them. To be able to identify, understand and discuss these candidly in coaching sessions, coaches working across cultures need cultural intelligence and emotional intelligence (CQ and EQ). So, the question is: How can we grow as coaches and improve our CQ and EQ? Since I think it is crucial for leadership coaches working with international teams to integrate their CQ & EQ development, I’ve developed the coaching model described below: A Cultural EQ for Global Communication.

Obligation vs. Purpose

It is not surprising that ‘Purpose’ has grown as a positive perspective for my power tool Obligation vs. Purpose since, as a Transformational Leadership Coach, my specialization is assisting leaders and organizations to find their greater purpose. When I think about the difficulties they are currently facing, I see that overloading is the most common problem that clients ask. The pull from their home lives and the need to be present for their families and other personal obligations also contributes to leaders in the business world today feeling overwhelmed by their daily tasks, the endless number of meetings that they must attend back-to-back, the speed of change under which they must operate in their businesses, and the challenges.

Coaching as a Vehicle for Change: Organizational and Individual Perspectives

A Research Paper By Ronda Harris
Blended Coach, NETHERLANDS

As we have investigated the concept of coaching as a vehicle for change, from both an organizational and an individual perspective, we have found the significant impact that coaching has not only on an individual but also in terms of how that individual is transformed and is then able to demonstrate the positive outcomes in the workplace and in the communities where they live. We’ve talked about organizational change, how change management influences organizational performance, the usefulness of executive coaching in fostering the growth of excellent leaders, and how these things relate to organizational effectiveness. Coaching is essential for developing stronger leaders as well as more competent and self-aware people in general.

Follow Your ID Coaching Model

A Coaching Model By Cyril Mehanna
Life Coach, GHANA

Three key components make up the “Follow your ID” model: intuition (the I), determination (the D), and self-trust (the ID). I created this coaching model as a result of my experiences as a coach and in my personal life. The gut, the instinct I pay attention to in daily life and during my coaching experiences, is related to intuition. I have developed my intuition through many techniques, such as meditations, and it has assisted me in making difficult but necessary judgments. None of us are born with the capacity to be determined, but we can all work to develop it. In addition to providing the client with the motivation they need to take action, a determination is what can assist a coach continue on his coaching path.

Anxiety vs. Equanimity

A Coaching Power Tool By Michelle Bradley
Leadership Coach, TAIWAN

This power tool “Anxiety vs. Equanimity” in adult life is something I’d now like to incorporate into my coaching sessions. I want to support my clients in transitioning their anxiety into a calmer, more awake state. It is undoubtedly a process that requires more time than just the session, but that’s also a part of it—planting seeds for development and transformation while the client charts their own road toward self-awareness, self-compassion, and progress. As a coach and a regular practitioner of meditation, I can attest to the value of helping myself and my clients transition from a state of mental turbulence to one of awareness or equanimity.

La Mindfulness nel Coaching

2023/08/04

A Research Paper By Martina Vettoretto
Transformational Coach, SWITZERLAND

La Mindfulness era conosciuta nel mondo del Buddismo come Sati, considerato come uno dei concetti principali che conducevano al percorso di illuminazione e liberazione, secondo Buddha. Infatti, Sati, può essere tradotto in italiano come “piena coscienza”. Buddha ha insegnato due forme principali di meditazione, Samatha (basata sulla concentrazione unitiva) e Vipassanā (dedicata allo sviluppo della consapevolezza mentale), sulla base della quale in Occidente, in tempi recenti, si sono messi a punto dei programmi standardizzati di pratica meditativa, che hanno reso possibile la ricerca sperimentale e clinica. In italiano il termine Vipassanā può essere tradutto come “meditazione consapevole”.
