A Research Paper By Mandy Leung
Transformational Coach, SINGAPORE

Impostor syndrome was introduced in 1978 by psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes. The study focused on ambitious and high-achieving women. Despite outstanding academic and professional achievements, women with imposter syndrome don’t think they are as smart as others think they are. Business leaders like Sheryl Sandberg (Facebook COO), Michelle Obama (former first lady), and Sonia Sotomayor (Supreme Court justice) have all admitted to owning it.

The “Feeling Overwhelmed vs. Being Focused” power tool described here can be used to address the feeling of being overwhelmed in the workplace, but can also be used outside of work. Feeling overwhelmed is a natural human emotion, but it can make it difficult to focus on where you started and then decide to take effective action. Our work lives have become increasingly demanding, presenting us with increasingly complex challenges at an almost constant pace. When you factor in personal or family obligations, it’s easy to become overwhelmed.

Exploration broadens our horizons and may make us reconsider our preferences. As you discover yourself and explore other perspectives, you will see opportunities to grow. We’ll focus on your opportunities, both individually and collectively. Each session, and your entire coaching journey, ends with some action you want to take to make progress. “We must be the change we want to see in the world,” Mahatma Gandhi said.

A Research Paper By Raphael Weninger
Life Coach, AUSTRIA

Global events in recent years (Covid 19, Ukraine war), as well as broader societal developments, have impacted us in a variety of ways and impacted our quality of life. To improve our quality of life, we must first understand what it means and the role that our human needs play. Max-Neef and Rosenberg have done extensive research on human needs and how connecting with them can help us improve our quality of life. It is important to realize that all of our activities are designed to meet our needs, and that unmet needs can lead to poor behavior and reduced quality of life.

Appreciation vs. Disregard

Life Coach, NETHERLANDS

Humans often take things for granted. We are healthy, we have good jobs and a good house, and our children are fine, but we are not satisfied. Only when bad things happen and we lose what we have we consider how happy we were at the time. The truth is that we will always strive for more. It is how our society has taught us to live and how we have become accustomed to doing things. When we complete a task, we immediately move on to the next task until we are satisfied. Everything we encounter in our lives should inspire us to Appreciation vs. Disregard. Because we are all unique and come from different backgrounds, each of us is grateful for different things.

The upward managing of their Directors and how the Executive would desire to be managed and supported are topics that are frequently brought up by Executive Clients, so I have applied the GROW model and Situation Leadership Model to them in my Coaching Model essay. Global company executives are under a lot of strain, and it is a common problem that their leaders haven’t changed their leadership style to reflect the new level of ability and confidence of the executive. The Executives are stressed and worried about this because they frequently believe it harms their relationship with their Leader, their confidence, and their own brand inside the firm.

Coaching in Health Care & Disability

A Research Paper By Nadezda Nedospasova
Care & Resilience Coach, LATVIA

The inspiration for this Coaching in Health Care & Disability research came from my decision to transition from my professional career as a caregiver to a coaching career as a Care & Resilience Coach – someone who can give both care users and caregivers a voice. My extensive personal and professional experience in nursing has taught me that living with limited capabilities due to any situation is difficult not only for those who go through it, but also for those around them. Although life with a disability, as well as life around a disability, can be made the most of.

Judgement vs. Empathy

A Coaching Power Tool By Raphael Weninger
Life Coach, AUSTRIA

I brought this up Judgement vs. Empathy in coaching because I couldn’t get out of the spiral, the thinking loop I’d created. With the help of a coach who provides empathy, I was able to explore my situation and dig deeper. For the first time, I was able to express myself fully without feeling judged. This idea allowed me to peel back the layers, question my beliefs, and consider what I truly desired for my future. It made room for insights to emerge, and I was able to see my situation from a different angle.

3A’s to T (Transition)

A Coaching Model By Vineetha Valsa Kumar
Career Transition Coach, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

FEAR comes with every transition. Many people mistake this FEAR for a lack of confidence, but in my few years of working with clients, I’ve discovered that this fear is caused by a lack of CLARITY in oneself. We have a lack of clarity about our strengths, values, and passion. We all know how to walk, but when asked to walk in the dark, even if you are confident in your ability to walk, you are afraid of the dark because there is no light or clarity where you are going. I believe in helping my clients become self-aware of their own strengths and innate resources to make their journey (transition) easier.
