A Coaching Model Created by Glenn Case

Open up a new landscape of possibility!
The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power. Mary Pickford
Coaching is a powerful process of facilitating meaningful change within individuals and their lives. As a Career Success Coach, I partner with you on a journey of self-discovery and self-awareness, toward a more fulfilling and successful career.
My VISTA Coaching Model is designed to fully integrate the International Coach Federation recommended process. At the same time, it reflects both my experience and coaching philosophy.
Effective coaching process and technique can be powerful and lead to new and exciting perspectives for the client. The term Vista is defined as
a pleasing view, especially one seen through a long, narrow opening.
Through the process of coaching, you are guided on a journey that shifts the current lens or viewpoint that is limiting growth, to other perspectives that open up a new, exciting landscape of possibility.
The VISTA Model utilizes an approach of Yield vs. Force, understanding that it is often what the client needs to let go of that can be the most freeing and powerful.
The VISTA Steps:
Define the Vision
Intention orchestrates infinite possibilities. Deepak Chopra
Through the application of the VISTA Model, I work with you to tap into the latent power of visualization and intent. In clarifying your values and vision, we harness a potent ally in making possibilities a reality.
We will explore such aspects as…
Explore the Issue
This is the piece of the iceberg that appears to sit above the waterline. The issue or challenge as presented may be a true reflection of the situation. Often, however, this area needs to be explored more deeply in order to uncover and clarify the real issue at hand.
Through directed questioning, I work closely with you to bring the issue into full view, ensuring we are placing attention on what really matters to you. As Albert Einstein so aptly said:
If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.
Shift the Lens
This is the solutions-finding stage. It is common that by the time a client reaches out to me for support, they are often already frustrated by the lack of process they feel they’re having.
This frustration comes from engaging in a closed train of thought that is self-limiting.
Through deep questioning, I work with you to view your situation from new and different perspectives. This is an exciting part of the journey. It is here the Vista of possibility begins to open up as solutions emerge.
Tailor an Action Plan
Once possible solutions have been developed, they need to be translated into actionable and measurable steps that will effect change. This is where your roadmap for success is created.
This plan incorporates not only the key actions needed to bring solutions to life but also sets priorities and timelines for completion.
Activate and Apply the Plan
Vision without action is merely a dream. Joel Austin
In this final stage, the “rubber hits the road”. Without action, even the best-laid plan will falter. We will discuss what will be necessary for you to hold yourself accountable for taking action, what you will need to stay focused and motivated, and how you will recognize your progress. As your coach, I will be here as an important part of your support team, to help you stay focused on your plan and see it through to fruition.
During all stages of the coaching partnership, we will continually come back to your overarching vision to ensure that its power is maximized.
Don’t be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams. Ralph Waldo Emerson
