Vulnerability vs. Perfectionism

A Coaching Power Tool By Michelle Piasecki

Vulnerability vs. Perfectionism is an opposing concept with powerful implications for the various roles we play. Consider implementing either one or the other in your relationships. When you share your fears and flaws with the people you love, you can foster trust by being vulnerable. But in that relationship, you want to present a flawless front. When you hide your true self to present the idealistic image you want others to see, trust can be lost and the relationship may suffer as a result. In coaching, we must present our clients with these options so they can consider their own decisions. What difference could it possibly make if they choose vulnerability over perfection? What effects does perfectionism have on behavior, perceptions of oneself, and motivation?

Using Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory to Support Learning in Mentoring & Coaching Relationships

A Research Paper By Jennifer Stanley

According to Sophocles’ quote, “There is no success without hardship.” It’s worth noting that the term “pivot” has recently gained popularity and is essentially a rebranding of a company’s potential failure. Consequently, obstacles appear to be unavoidable on the path to success. But what if we could avoid costly, time-consuming setbacks and progress toward individual success without encountering as many unnecessary roadblocks? This eventuality, I believe, we can achieve by incorporating Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory into one’s learning activities. I am convinced that Bandura’s theory can be applied to coaching and the coachee’s relationship with a skilled mentor.

Women Confidence Coach, UNITED KINGDOM

Based on my experiences as a client, coach, and self-coach, I developed my coaching model, called FEEL. I believe it is essential to empathize with the client’s emotions in some way. Knowing the client’s emotions allows us to connect with them on a deeper level. This model has been used by me to coach myself and/or my clients. Since I specialize in coaching women, I can assist them in transforming their lives by giving them more clarity and confidence. I believe this approach to connecting with women is very effective. My relationship and trust with the client grow deeper as I gain a better understanding of their emotions. My coaching has always revolved around feelings. The model has the following essential components: FIND EXPLORE ENHANCE LEARN

A Coaching Case Study By Irvan Saputra Masyulhak
Career Coach, NETHERLANDS

Midlife professionals are coached to redefine their life’s purpose. When I first started my coaching business, I was exposed to a certain type of client. These people have successful corporate careers and are high achievers. The people are in their late 30s to late 40s. They frequently discuss how they feel insufficient, lonely, numb, or unhappy with their job during coaching sessions. Many of them attended the coaching sessions in an effort to identify the source of their sense of emptiness and to develop more vibrant, peaceful, and present feelings while still progressing and growing. In the big picture, they are reconsidering the significance of what they are doing right now and redefining their life’s purpose.

How can we change the focus from Jealousy vs. Inspiration? By putting some distance between yourself and the person you’re envious of and figuring out how to take a similar route. If I can allow myself to adopt the viewpoint that each person is traveling on their own unique path, I can allow myself to decide that this person’s perceived “success” or being in front of me can actually be inspirational. Now I can imagine my own journey and current perspective, and their journey with them in their current perspective. Independent routes where there is only a subjective assessment of progress and no objective ahead or behind.

You can better understand and deal with your inner critic and your descent into burnout by using the CARE model. Each person goes through this journey in a unique way because what exhausts one person may energize another. A coach is an important part of the process because they know the right questions to ask you to make sure you’re focusing on your needs instead of other people’s wants or visions, which is another factor that causes burnout. The long-term goal is to learn how to modify this process into a system to help prevent burnout and manage it while achieving your goals.

It can be very simple to ignore your inner voice in the midst of daily stress and distractions from outside noise. We worry too much about the world. What if I said, “My partner wants me to do XYZ, my boss asked me to do XYZ, and my peers suggested I buy a house.” What is your inner voice saying is the important question. Can we try to reduce the outside noise so that we can hear our voices? If one concentrates on the voice, many questions can be resolved internally. The client can be assisted in making the shift by the coach using the Inner Voice vs. Noise power tool.

A Research Paper By Michelle Piasecki

Parental burnout is one of these areas of burnout. As men and women balance work and parent responsibilities in recent years, this type of burnout has drawn more attention, especially since the pandemic brought families’ needs to light. According to some studies, parents of neurodivergent children are more likely to experience burnout because they must manage their child’s difficult struggles, medication, medical appointments, and school events. This fact can have an adverse effect on the parents’ physical and mental health. The good news is that you can lessen burnout symptoms by addressing the expectations and loneliness that come with helping parents understand and cope with their child’s diagnosis and difficulties.
