A Coaching Power Tool By James Levin
Business Coach, UNITED STATES

Everyone wishes to make a change in their lives. People will constantly tell you, “I want to change jobs” or “I want to eat healthier this year.” However, how often are those same people willing to make this change? My Want vs. Willing Power tool was to determine who was actually willing to put in the effort and make the change before deciding whether or not to hire them. In coaching, the coach will not be the one to provide answers on how to achieve the desired change. The coach’s job is to assist the client in determining not only what they want, but also what they are willing to do to obtain it.

Taking an honest look at your current situation, goals, and objectives can be difficult and daunting. A good coach can help you at this point to find the solutions, and you can use this invitation to get in touch with the little person you once were, who is now carrying a magnificent backpack of talents, skills, and experiences that will enable you to design a fulfilling life that has meaning and purpose on your terms. SEEDING is the name of the 6-step coaching method I created. The seed has all the information it needs to grow into a beautiful tree, just like in the natural world. It only has to be planted in rich soil, and with enough attention, it will develop into a powerful tree that will provide the ecosystem and conditions needed for other life to coexist peacefully with its presence.

A Winning Blend Coaching Africans

2022/03/10

A Research Paper By Mirian Kachikwu
Business Coach, NIGERIA

Every society is pervaded by culture, with all that it entails, especially in Africa, where each country reflects a diverse range of ethnicities. Coaching Africans are becoming a more significant tool for Africans to deal with the personal and business issues that they face on a daily basis. Consequently, it is impossible to train an African without first understanding his or her cultural background. To effectively coach African clients, coaches must adapt to Western coaching competencies to understand and objectively question the impact on them and how they are identified in life, society, and/or the workplace.
