A Research Paper By Austin Tay
Executive Coach, SINGAPORE
In the context of a coach, a coach can help an individual create this balance. Psychological Flexibility in coaching the coach’s role is not to guide, lead or instruct how people are supposed to think, feel and change their behavior. Instead, the coach’s role is primarily to be the sounding board for people. The coach asks those questions to help individuals have self-awareness or self-realization to see and understand what is stopping them from moving forward. One model that is helpful for individuals to move from a state of stuckness to unstuckness is the Cognitive Triangle.
