A Coaching Power Tool By Christie Chua
Transformational Coach, SINGAPORE

This Frustration vs. Motivation power tool was created as a part of a personal journey for me. For the majority of my career, I faced concerns and challenges head on. There seemed to be this unseen power and drive that allowed me to bulldoze my way through such challenges with such force; it was almost as if it came from an infinite source! After a life-changing experience, I began to doubt my work’s purpose. And soon, I realized, the urge was vanished. I felt thrown off my game, reduced, and soon, every issue and challenge became more difficult to conquer. I also began to blame myself and felt bad about how I had allowed myself to reach to this position.

This case study follows L on a journey as she clarified her values and beliefs and rediscovers what is important to her.

We’re also keeping a close eye on how her life is progressing to see if the strategies we came up with are helping her. L shared that even though her portfolio was made specifically for her at the beginning of our coaching journey, she seemed to have lost interest in her work. L and I exchanged a picture. The bicycle’s “purpose” was depicted in a line drawing.

Similar to any major home improvement or construction project, the Now, New, Next – 3Ns to the New You Coaching Model emphasizes the importance of monitoring and time. It would be wise to remind our client of these two points. Establish a realistic schedule and divide the objective into more manageable tasks with the client. The client will get through this phase with some patience and optimism. Also, staying flexible during this time will be helpful because certain plans might need to be modified depending on the situation and the surrounding environment. Help the client remember the bigger picture, the reason for the change, and any other relevant information.

A Coaching Model By Mandy Leung
Transformational Coach, SINGAPORE

This coaching model (5E) is designed to assist coaches in guiding young emerging managers to discover the meaning/purpose of their lives, as well as to empower and energize them to find their solutions. This model can be used as a transformational tool for people who are going through personal or professional changes. Given that the workplace is changing and that managers’ expectations are changing, how can our young generation (millennials and Gen Z) lead the team in a “never normal” environment? Many of our coaching clients (in their twenties, thirties, and forties) come to us with the question “what is my purpose?” They have a strong desire to make a positive difference in the world, but they are unsure how to do so.
