Flip the Saboteurs

A Coaching Power Tool By Karin-Ann Holley

The Flip the Saboteurs power tool can be used on anyone because everyone has saboteurs. However, it helps if people are familiar with the jargon in order to use the tool. Strong saboteur residents typically experience more distressing emotions for longer periods of time. Saboteurs first emerged as a coping mechanism for difficult situations during our childhood. But as adults, the coping strategies and routines don’t help us anymore and instead keep us in place. If a person is unaware of their unfavorable beliefs, change is very challenging. Hence, helping people identify their top saboteurs expedites the process of becoming aware of oneself and helps them feel less alone once they realize that everyone has saboteurs.

This From Roots to Fruit: Enjoying the Harvest of a Rooted Life coaching model is not intended to be exhaustive or step-by-step.

The steps of the From Roots to Fruit: Enjoying the Harvest of a Rooted Life coaching model provide a general framework for what we should think about as we progress toward a mature, abundant life that is rich in the fruits of our labor and is prepared to be harvested and shared.

Harnessing the Power of Coaching in Decluttering and Home Organisation

A Research Paper By Marija Rooz
Life Coach, GERMANY

Why do we keep our belongings after decluttering and home organisation? Hope for change, guilt or duty, obligation, anxiety about a future need, memories, unchecked consumer urges or habits, excessive attachment, childhood poverty, hesitancy, grief, and so on. Clutter can have an impact on our cognition, behavior, emotions, and relationships. Clutter can also cause sleep problems, stress, anxiety, a lack of productivity, shame, fire hazards, dust-related respiratory problems, overeating, and other health and safety issues. The best results come from a well-balanced combination of coaching and home organization. Building trust with the client requires empathy, letting go of judgment, and acknowledgment.

Clients may benefit from surveying their purpose in order to change their perspective From Frazzled vs. Flow. There are many different perspectives on purpose, but I prefer to choose one that can inform both my personal and professional values. It can take some time to transition from being frazzled to being in the flow, but I’ve noticed that clients who accept reality tend to do so more quickly. I want to add a crucial point as a conclusion. Due to the rise in stress, anxiety, and burnout cases, it is crucial for coaches to be aware of when their clients might benefit from therapy or medical attention in order to recover from burnout.

By definition, burnout is a “syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed,” according to the World Health Organization. Burnout is defined as “a mismatch between the nature of the person doing the job and the nature of the job” by experts Maslach and Leiter. An “erosion of the human soul” is the outcome. Burnout is so challenging to recognize because it involves the gradual depletion of a person’s spirit, which is what the word erosion refers to. People who are experiencing burnout symptoms lose their identity and essence, becoming a shadow of who they once were. The person they are now or the one they see in the mirror is no longer the same.

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.

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.

The SUMMIT Coaching Model

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.
