Resisting vs. Releasing

A Coaching Power Tool By Nathalie Legault
Leadership Coach, CANADA

This Resisting vs. Releasing power tool refers to the internal resistance as our “inner enemies.” It derives from the subconscious information that our parents and earlier generations passed on to us. It derives from the lessons we’ve learned from our experiences, friends, society, etc. It is the iceberg’s invisible, submerged part. Your TAF (1) will act as a compass and sonar to help you locate the cause of the skewed behavior. Look for the Thought and the Feeling that go with that action. You may be able to identify hidden limiting thoughts with some effort. When you become aware of a bad TAF combo, you can instantaneously let go of some negative energy, which automatically lowers the pressure.

Empowering Women Leaders With the Compelling ‘TAF’ Awareness Coaching Tool

I originally learned to coach using the TAF Awareness Technique. It allows me to expose TAF combinations that I don’t need, almost always resulting in a release. The treatment made me feel lighter as it progressed, and it gave me the space and courage to recover my power. As a result, I produced more satisfying and long-lasting TAF picks. As a result of coaching, I began to see an inner metamorphosis, which exposed some of my dormant potential. Given this coaching experience and the data in the research paper, it is advantageous to use the TAF awareness tool for coaching. To be altered, the visible and invisible components of our ideas, feelings, and behaviors must be understood.

The FLOAT model, which I developed, is intended to assist coaches in leveling up. The coaching model I use helps my clients focus, level set, identify opportunities, define those opportunities, activities, and take measures. When we reach the maximum level at which our abilities can be used, we level up. We have grown and gained enough knowledge and experience to function effectively in this environment. But since we’re in a holding pattern, it’s very likely that we’ve also grown disinterested and immobile. The next stage of our journey requires that we level up and FLOAT.

Using Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory to Support Learning in Mentoring & Coaching Relationships

According to Sophocles’ quote, “There is no success without hardship.” It’s worth noting that the term “pivot” has recently gained popularity and is essentially a rebranding of a company’s potential failure. Consequently, obstacles appear to be unavoidable on the path to success. But what if we could avoid costly, time-consuming setbacks and progress toward individual success without encountering as many unnecessary roadblocks? This eventuality, I believe, we can achieve by incorporating Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory into one’s learning activities. I am convinced that Bandura’s theory can be applied to coaching and the coachee’s relationship with a skilled mentor.

Jealousy vs. Inspiration

How can we change the focus from Jealousy vs. Inspiration? By putting some distance between yourself and the person you’re envious of and figuring out how to take a similar route. If I can allow myself to adopt the viewpoint that each person is traveling on their own unique path, I can allow myself to decide that this person’s perceived “success” or being in front of me can actually be inspirational. Now I can imagine my own journey and current perspective, and their journey with them in their current perspective. Independent routes where there is only a subjective assessment of progress and no objective ahead or behind.

The Role of Coaching in Tackling Procrastination

Procrastination is traditionally defined as “putting off intentionally the doing of something that should be done.” One common misconception is that people who procrastinate do so consciously, either out of weakness, laziness, or another character flaw. Chronic procrastinators are often told that the solution to their woes is to adopt the Nike slogan “Just do it! ” Regardless of the reasons, root causes, or psychology behind procrastination, the only real solution is action. When dealing with the emotional pain of persistent procrastination, this fact is easier said than done.

Drifting vs. Driving

Driving is the opposite of drifting, and drifting is the non-choice choice, according to the Drifting vs. Driving power tool for defining the two terms. A coach is a crucial ally in the transition from driving to drifting. The coaching environment can help a client in a number of ways, such as by assisting them in re-connecting with themselves and accessing the resources and dreams they have deep inside, recognizing the obstacles and limitations standing in their way, reflecting their beliefs to help them gain new perspectives and access to new opportunities, by identifying the supports, structures, and systems that will help them change, and by providing a process for commitment and accountability when they need to.

A client is guided through a 360-degree journey by the Growth Mindset Coaching Model, which begins with where they are now in their current state, determines what their desired state is, and then rewires the mind by developing new thoughts, feelings, and beliefs as well as behaviors, goals, actions, accountabilities, and self-reflections that will help the client move toward their desired state. This model is for business owners who encounter unfamiliar and uncomfortable situations on a daily basis and who are challenged to change their personal and professional life from a fixed mindset to a growth-oriented mindset.

People with a fixed mindset tend to be stubborn and highly resistant to change, which is the difference between Fixed Thinking vs. Growth Oriented Mindset. They would be people who think that their intelligence and capabilities are fixed, that they are innately endowed with them, and who accept their limitations. People with a growth mindset think that the brain is highly malleable. They are aware that they can increase their intelligence and capabilities by making a persistent effort to learn new things or acquire new skills.
