Feeling grounded and connected in everyday life can be challenging. Most people move from one task to another without pausing to think about themselves because their lives are generally traveling in overdrive. Because we live in a society that promotes estrangement from our physical bodies, when we do finally seek out these avenues of connection, they may seem impossible to locate. Because of this, my coaching model S.O.M.A. is an effective tool for helping clients connect with their true selves and break any stagnant emotional cycles. The word “soma” in the acronym is a Greek word that denotes the physical body as opposed to the mind or spirit.

Businesses are discovering that coaching is a crucial leadership strategy for fostering talent development and business success. Businesses are realizing the value of fostering a team-oriented environment that values collaboration over authority more than ever. For those who adopt it, this shift produces fantastic results.

Stillness vs. Running

A Coaching Power Tool By Amanda Norwood

Power Tool Stillness vs. Running, This idea was inspired by some advice a running coach once gave me when I was struggling with burnout and frustration with my training. “Sometimes you have to slow down to speed up,” he said. Faster is slower, as stated in Peter Senge’s well-known book “The Fifth Discipline,” which is a similar idea to this one. I have always associated slowing down with giving up, losing ground, and being less productive, much like Mary, the client I previously mentioned, so my coach’s advice really stuck with me. But as Senge explains, moving too quickly can hinder a person’s optimal growth. The hardest thing to do for someone who values high performance is to slow down.

I developed the DARE model as a leadership coach specifically for leaders, regardless of their level of seniority, who want to improve and develop their leadership skills. Most often, a 12-session leadership coaching program with pre-established goals is sponsored by the employee’s employer. By combining the VIA structure with character strengths, this model seeks to maximize empowerment by assisting clients in achieving their objectives.

People can use somatic practice to access their innate evolutionary intelligence. The term “living organism in its wholeness” is the definition of soma in Greek. Another way to think about this idea is to consider this practice as something that takes into account the mind and body. The somatic approach not only emphasizes the brain’s and intellect’s cognitive abilities, but it also serves as a reminder that our physical bodies and hearts also house our experiences, knowledge, and habits. The somatic approach invites us to connect with our most basic intelligence—our physical body—in a world where distractions are constantly available. We can speed up growth and promote lasting change by learning about the history of somatics and comprehending its relevance in the coaching context.

The FLOAT model, which I developed, is intended to assist coaches in leveling up. The coaching model I use helps my clients focus, level set, identify opportunities, define those opportunities, activities, and take measures. When we reach the maximum level at which our abilities can be used, we level up. We have grown and gained enough knowledge and experience to function effectively in this environment. But since we’re in a holding pattern, it’s very likely that we’ve also grown disinterested and immobile. The next stage of our journey requires that we level up and FLOAT.

Giving Up vs. Letting Go

I was incapable of being authentic because I was so driven to succeed. But in this “failure,” I started to learn the difference between giving up vs. letting go. Giving up refers to letting go of a task or goal, due to frustration or the conviction that it cannot be accomplished. “Letting go” refers to releasing a connection to something or someone in order to move on or find peace. Giving up implies a feeling of failure, whereas letting go suggests acceptance and a readiness to move on. Everyone will have a circumstance like this at some point or another. Do we keep going to accomplish our objectives? Do we change our expectations in order to better serve our long-term interests?

Character Strength-Based Leadership Coaching

A Research Paper By Anita Szabo
Leadership & Career Coach, HUNGARY

A character strength-based leadership coaching approach is empowering, energizing, and connecting in that coaches embody and exhibit their own character strengths as they tell clients about strengths and support clients in developing their own character strengths for enhancing well-being and dealing with adversity in their own distinctively personal way and with their orientation/approach to helping. In fact, not all good leaders, let alone all leaders, consider leadership to be a core competency. Leadership is a trait that is shared by people of all ages and backgrounds. Someone who lists leadership as one of their top talents, like everyone else, does not automatically become an effective leader.
