A Coaching Model Created by Jill St. Vincent
(Weight Loss & Relationship Coach, UNITED STATES)
My coaching model is called the Divine Model. It is a linear model but flexible to the client’s needs. Most clients will follow this in a linear fashion.
The word divine really spoke to me in creating my model. My intention and process for my clients is a spiritual journey. Many people can relate to the word Divine, because it can mean the following: spiritual, godlike, the universe, holy, celestial and religious.
I would like to introduce my first phase which is the Discovery phase.
Discovery:
This is the first session with clients. The goal here is to discover what the client wants out of coaching and his/her ultimate goals. Asking about one’s belief system is crucial to me.
Typical questions asked might be:
Intention or Intended goals:
This phase is about clarifying one’s intention. Critical feedback that I can give to the client is:
Sometimes clients set an intention that is so big or vague that they can’t wrap their mind around it and don’t know where to start to create their intention. Example: I want to save the world. Ideally, the intention and vision should be doable – so the client can believe in a success and later celebrate a success.
At this phase, the client can also set actions and goals to create the intention and vision.
