Need to vs. Get To

2023/11/13

A Coaching Power Tool By Warren Dix
Personal Change Coach, NETHERLANDS

The expression “Need to vs. Get To” was frequently used by a client. They didn’t realize that any attitude they had—one that was based on a “need to”—made the perspective shift virtually impossible. Understanding the limitations of the language that led to a fixed mindset became the focus of this multi-layered session, which only addressed the beliefs or perspectives maintained after that. Again using the quote, start with your thoughts. That prompts the question, “Why is there a disconnect?” The short answer is that our diversity of viewpoints is what makes us special. We develop via a variety of lessons and subsequent insights. Our diversity of viewpoints is what makes us special, but what do we genuinely “Need to vs. Get To”?

A Coaching Model By Ricky Koo
Leadership Coach, UNITED STATES

The purpose of my RISE leadership coaching model is to reframe the perception of what true leadership is. Situational leadership, thought leadership, internal leadership, and external leadership are the four main styles of leadership that are discussed. Through my focused coaching and empowering guidance, people will gain the methods and competencies in these critical areas, allowing them to become the most successful leaders in their personal and professional lives. These characteristics are stronger than the transitory, more “outward,” and visible surface-level characteristics. The traits of highly influential leaders are reflexive; they cut beyond age, race, profession, and even era.

In this research paper, we will examine the complementary and joint applications of the ICF coaching competencies with Agile software development. Agile is a set of ideas and procedures that prioritize adaptability, teamwork, and clients-centricity in the context of software development. This idea helps businesses not only provide goods and services to clients promptly but also quickly adjust to their needs and their environment. In the competitive and unpredictable market of today, this fact is extremely crucial. An Agile team is a self-organizing, cross-functional group of people who collaborate to accomplish a shared objective. This team improves flexibility, adaptability, and efficiency in how they work by utilizing agile frameworks and processes like Scrum or Kanban.

Learning to see the world from fresh perspectives and reframing the meanings we assign to our experiences in life is the process of vertical development.

You may experience a shift in perspective and an increase in your ability to perceive, understand, empathize, and maintain closer relationships with those around you and yourself. LDP maps your current path and provides insight into your sense of purpose and the logic that drives your actions and thinking. One way to make sense of the world is through action logic, which is connected to our ability to make sense of the world and the experiences that shape our perspectives and reactions to it.

Leadership Coach, UNITED STATES

The difference between Passive vs. PassiON: Being passive is something we usually feel in situations where there is a lot of negativity or when we are feeling helpless. To avoid harm or “losing,” we disengage out of self-preservation and protection. Changing from passive to PassiON helped me discover my calling in life, as well as what I wanted to accomplish with my special insight and capacity to articulate my feelings clearly in writing that benefited other people. My writing moved me ahead more and more as more people read it and got in touch with me. People still spark that fire in me today with the numerous personal tales and insights they offer after reading my work.

The S.H.O.R.E.S Coaching Model

A Coaching Model By Laetitia Bertrand
Life Coach, FRANCE

The purpose of the S.H.O.R.E.S coaching model is to assist a neurodivergent population that may require mental visualization of the process and outcomes of coaching. Its purpose is to defuse fear-based inaction or make people feel less afraid. Both a more session-focused explanation of how a coaching session proceeds and an explanation of the potential coaching experience can be provided by the model. The principal aim of the model is to enable the client to normalize their journey in both scenarios: everyone encounters situations that they are unable to fully resolve on their own, and it is OK if they are unable to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem straight away.

With this Fallback: Dismissal vs. Acceptance power tool, coaches can investigate why falling back can be viewed as a positive experience rather than a bad one. Not only can knowing the causes of fallback help you enjoy it, but it will also reveal the important lessons it contains. By reflecting to comprehend our weaknesses, we can use it and approach it in a different way. This idea is the process of development. Through deliberate introspection on our weak points, we can develop a more acute awareness of ourselves. Even while we might not be able to alter our behavior in the heat of the moment, this practice enables us to reflect on our thoughts, feelings, and actions during those times.
