Progress vs. Perfection

A Coaching Power Tool By Xiuyu Feng
Executive Coach, UNITED STATES

As coaches, we can empower our clients to make positive shifts by bringing the perspective of “Progress vs. Perfection” to what they do and making it easier for them to move forward. We can achieve this through sharing an observation, asking a question, exploring a different point of view, or walking through some extreme scenarios. Help the client to explore the feeling of fear behind the high expectations or procrastination, recognize these feelings, and the underlying beliefs when they come up, and ask questions to help check the reality. This exploration will help the client to break out of the non-fact-based illusions in their mind which prevent them from moving forward.

TGROW x 3C Model A Structure to a Coaching Session

A Coaching Model By Xiuyu Feng
Executive Coach, UNITED STATES

TGROW x 3C is a simple and effective coaching model that enables coaches to provide a structure to a coaching session, helps the client to gain alignment with their three centers of intelligence – head, heart, and body, and empowers the client to achieve their goals. In each coaching session, the coach can leverage the TGROW model to help the client gain clarity around their current situation and their goals, help the client to find options to achieve their goals, and help the client to learn from the process. Use 3C to check how they think, feel, and sense their body to see if the alignment is there.

Self-Determination Theory: How Managers Can Motivate Teams

A Research Paper By Audrey Bolo
Career Coach, KENYA

A key factor in employee motivation is the relationship they have with their manager. Strong managers typically understand the basic principles that motivate their team-based Self-Determination Theory (SDT). SDT is a macro theory of human motivation that focuses on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. All employees have three basic psychological needs—competence, autonomy, and connectedness—and meeting these needs increases motivation levels.

Momentum vs. Lethargy

A Coaching Power Tool By Audrey Bolo
Career Coach, KENYA

In the competitive societies we live in, there is not only a tendency to want to do everything but to do it perfectly. Having momentum can be a wonderful feeling but it is not a fixed state. The other end of the pendulum can be described as operating in a state of lethargy. At an emotional, mental, and/or physical low. Similar to momentum, feeling lethargic does not have to last forever. This power tool, Momentum vs. Lethargy helps Psychological Momentum (PM) plays a key role in goal pursuit and achievement. Research suggests that the main psychological processes that underpin momentum are confidence, perceived competence (self-belief), and internal attributions (e.g. personal skill).

Beyond Conventional Wisdom: The Role of Coach Training in Building Resilient Organizational Cultures

A Research Paper By Dominique Hawkins
Career Coach, UNITED STATES

As people continue to pursue happiness in their personal and professional lives, now is the time for businesses to focus on fostering a culture of holistic well-being, Organizational Well-Being Programs by helping employees integrate work and life. Research has shown that ignoring employee well-being has both quantitative and qualitative costs to both employees and organizations. Neglecting your well-being can have consequences, including decreased productivity, stress, or burnout. Few employers have a program or strategy in place to assist employees in integrating their work and personal lives in a holistic and healthy way, even though many are aware of the threat of burnout and low levels of well-being on employees. Coaching can be a great way to support people in their efforts toward a more complete self.

How Would Coaching Lead the Path to a Purposeful Career

A Research Paper By Irene Chen
Career Coach, TAIWAN

When writing this paper Purposeful Career, something came across my mind and asked, “why would I want to be a coach? Why would I choose the niche in career coaching?” I like work, I often get inspiration from work, and most importantly, I like working with people. I guess I just want to help people and myself to live a happy, fulfilled, and purposeful work life.

A Conceptual Model Ballroom Dance

A Coaching Model By Irene Chen
Career Coach, TAIWAN

As many veterans would share, coaching is rather an art, not a science. Like dancing, of course, you can learn to master that by memorizing all steps and patterns but you will lose the chance to enjoy the flow and feel the rhythm, for dancing is an art, not a technique. In coaching, it is up to your choice to search and follow the protocol, and you may call this a perfect coaching session. Just want to circle back to them what I began in this article Ballroom Dance, coaching is a flow, you will move with your clients, or partners when partners vary, you need to switch your steps and movements accordingly, and sometimes, to improvise.

Possible vs. Definitive Golden Path to Success

A Coaching Power Tool By Irene Chen
Career Coach, TAIWAN

There seems like a Possible vs. Definitive golden path to success and a great life. As been taught by parents since a little kid, having good grades would help you get into great schools, colleges, and universities. And then followed by a dream job that almost guarantees a wonderful life afterward. Once you embark on this journey, taking every step well designed in advance, nothing needs to be worried and it sounds perfect and fantastical. The fear of falling off this track makes us stay even closer to this route with a fixed mindset and taking definitive procedures to ensure that positive results will happen eventually. This idea also squeezes out the flexibility and space which we can save for ourselves for adjustments and self-reflection and finally pushes us to the corner.

The Use of Creative Tools in Coaching

A Research Paper By Tiffany Purn
Career Coach, UNITED STATES

For this assignment, I first intended to do a research review on The Use of Creative Tools in Coaching. Although I did find some research (see references below), I found that there are relatively few studies related to the field of coaching, especially. So, I decided to take an interdisciplinary approach and to interview someone who’s studied art and creative practices and to ask her about her experience with these tools and what might — and might not — translate to coaching.
