Progression vs. Perfection

A Coaching Power Tool By Romina Tollerutti
Health and Wellness Coach, UNITED STATES

Health, including weight management, has been a hot topic, especially with the rise in the obesity epidemic and the COVID epidemic in recent years. While most people understand that taking care of their health is essential to a happy life, most people fail to do so. One of the reasons, in my experience, is how a health journey is approached: an all-or-nothing or perfectionist mindset. This power tool assists people in transitioning from Progression vs. Perfection. Help them become aware of a perfectionist mindset and redefine it as a progressive mindset while engaging them in the coaching process.

De-stigmatizing Mental Health Conditions for Coaches

Transformational Coach, UNITED STATES

Therapy-seeking individuals are not flawed. You undoubtedly know a lot of people who are in therapy or who could use counseling. Despite the many obstacles, those who choose treatment should be seen as making the decision bravely. Coaches can help clients as they choose to seek out their own care by approaching the topic of therapy and mental health disorders with mindfulness and self-awareness. For clients, therapy and counseling can also complement each other, with the former assisting with the past and the latter assisting in understanding mental health issues and available treatments.

Enhancing Communication Through Relationship Coaching

Relationship coaching is about assisting individuals in making the most supportive and aligned choices toward achieving their goals; it is not about preserving current relationships. Coaches must be careful not to steer the client in one direction or another based on their perceptions or the outcome they believe is best for the client. These are highly personal journeys, and it is critical that coaches maintain their unbiased, objective roles. Humans thrive in relationships that are of high quality. When our relationships are positive, we feel happy, and when we are happy, we continue to cherish our relationships and consider our lives to be meaningful. It would then be logical and enjoyable to invest proactively in self-awareness and emotional intelligence.

Judgment vs. Curiosity

A Coaching Power Tool By Dana Wu
Career Coach, UNITED STATES

I have developed a power tool to help clients move from judgment vs. curiosity. The best way to use this power tool is to investigate how judgment manifests itself in the client. By viewing the situation through the lens of judgment vs. curiosity, the client may become aware that what appeared to be facts are actually judgments. Clients can then try on a more curious perspective and see how the challenges at hand change. For example, a client may begin by stating that their goal is “too difficult.” Coaching may help the client realize that it is not a fact but rather a judgment. It is possible that the client is afraid of failure. When the focus is on how to take steps toward the goal rather than the possibility of failure, the client may allow curiosity to pull him forward.

Commitments to ‘Be, See, Seen, Clear, Believe’

A Coaching Model By Barbara DeMatte
Business Coach, UNITED STATES

Coaching a manager to change perspective can result in behavioral changes that have a long-term impact on a manager’s relationship with each employee and colleague. This fact is empowerment, and it can benefit a manager’s career and reputation. Coaches provide managers with an environment where they can consider different perspectives in their day-to-day decisions. Managers should hold themselves accountable on any given day to recognize their own shortcomings. Then, commit to making a change the next day and hold themselves accountable for following through on any of the five commitments.

Shame vs. Self-Compassion coaching, developing strong self-compassion in the face of shame is a lifelong practice. However, as with any real change, the more clients practice it, the more ingrained and effective it becomes. With the rapid implementation of this compassionate mindset toward oneself and others, the experience of shame will be shorter, less deep, and easier to mitigate. This idea means that arguments may be avoided, communication will be clearer, and support will be more easily shared within relationships, resulting in a greater sense of trust, safety, and authentic connection.

GARDEN

A Coaching Model By Sara Kwon

This GARDEN model provides a structure for clients to explore their goals, values, beliefs, challenges, strengths, and supports, among other things. Clients gain self-awareness and self-worth as a result of this experience, allowing them to confidently create practical action plans that are aligned with their genuine values, which, when combined with intentional accountability, results in authentic behavior. My coaching model is influenced by Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience by Brené Brown Authenticity is a need for connection, she writes, which speaks to the core goal of my model – to assist my clients in gaining awareness that feeds into worth-driven authentic and purposeful behavior, which is required to (re)build meaningful connections.

Living in the modern world naturally entails having the freedom to make decisions. We have the power to choose our fate thanks to this freedom. Sometimes, events outside of our control lead us to our fate as well. It can be enlightening to be able to view these changes that are bestowed upon us through the prism of opportunity. It includes all that moves through us and is unique to each person, as well as the choice of viewpoint. By using our power of choice, we can see that voluntarily making the decision to go through Graceful Transitions can lead to major shifts along the way.

Want vs. Willing

A Coaching Power Tool By James Levin

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.
