Sticky vs. Step

2022/06/14

A Coaching Power Tool By Leslie Ford
Education Coach, UNITED STATES

Sticky vs. Step Power tools allow us to expand our thinking, question our beliefs and mindsets, and generate new learning. Clifton’s moving poem reminds us that, like a river, we are constantly churning and flowing toward our goal. Because we are creatures capable of learning, growing, and becoming, our thoughts, beliefs, and prior experiences tell us, but do not fully explain us. Personal learning is an invitation to learn about yourself or others in a whole new light when using these power tools. As you use them, take the time to read, apply, and reflect.

Power of the Pause: Turning Time Forward

A Research Paper By Maya Dreifus

There is little doubt that pausing generates space, according to the research mentioned. It creates opportunities for meaningful outcomes that were not possible when the limbic system was in charge. Pausing gives you the space and time to reconsider your decision. One in which we will not look back and wish we could go back in time. “Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything soak in,” says Sebastian Vettel, a German motorsport racing driver. So, the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed, pressured, or as if you have too much on your plate…pause.

PULSE

A Coaching Model By Leslie Ford
Education Coach, UNITED STATES

The PULSE model incorporates design thinking principles to produce a tool that allows managers and those seeking leadership positions to improve their skills while addressing real-world problems in their school or district. Practical thinkers are those who manage people, chair or sit on committees or sit with decision-makers. They are looking for a method or system that will allow them to think through multi-layer challenges with stakeholders with different agendas while working with a limited number of people, time, place, and money to achieve a desired amount of change. Succeeding the implementation of this Developmental Coaching paradigm, PULSE recognizes both the immediate need for efficiency and incorporates double-loop learning through a regular reflection.

The Journey of Thirds

The Journey of Thirds model was created with the intention of touching people’s hearts and souls. As they embark on their journey of self-discovery, they must leave no stone unturned. The road will certainly be more essential than the outcome of their “what’s next.” Learning more about oneself will result in a better result, not just in one area of the client’s life, but in all areas. I know, it did for me. The four-year-old child has matured into a self-assured, determined, and strong lady who has built her own mountain and is precisely where she needs to be – making an immediate effect.

Anxious vs. Energized

A Coaching Power Tool By Maya Dreifus
Career Coach, UNITED STATES

Anyone can recollect a period when they were worried. Perhaps, it was before an unpleasant work talk with a coworker. Anxiety affects me in the form of unpleasant nerves, a sense of dread, a pit in my stomach, and a ticker tape that won’t stop playing. What if friends joined you on your nightly stroll, bringing joy, laughter, and sounds to the otherwise silent street? Suddenly, there are choices, and possibly even a strategy for moving forward. And then, one starts to feel energized. The goal of the Anxious vs. Energized power tool is to assist clients who feel weak and lost in changing their perspective and reacting from a place of power, action, and enthusiasm.

A Research Paper By Debbie Wissel
Career Coach, UNITED STATES

The art of coaching is based on a liberal arts perspective, which incorporates and integrates many diverse disciplines such as psychology, human behavior, anthropology, sociology, biology, neuroscience, and others. For me, being a coach requires a commitment to being a lifelong learner and listener in order to bring out the best in others. In my quest to become a better coach, I’ve read and continue to study numerous coaching books that have shaped my approach and expanded my understanding of the components of good coaching. This article outlines three fundamental works on coaching topics that recur in my own coaching: Habits and Behaviors, Life Design, and Fulfillment.

Zoom Out Zoom In

A Coaching Model By Debbie Wissel
Career Coach, UNITED STATES

My high school-aged sister gave me some wise advice when I was in middle school, which served as inspiration for this coaching concept. ‘This stuff doesn’t important, just try to be like a bird… soar beyond everything’ Katie added. ‘See the forest among the trees,’ her bird simile paid homage to many others. I update my Coaching Model with a 2020 twist, using a soaring bird as inspiration. The idea for soaring above an issue will be called in this case, ‘Zooming Out,’ given we are all on Zoom calls during COVID. In the rest of the article, I’ll explain my ‘Zoom Out Zoom In’ Coaching model, which is the source of my coaching inspiration.

An Exploration of Self-Acceptance: The Application to Coaching

A Research Paper By Jennifer Walker
Life Coach, UNITED STATES

Theology, psychology, sociology, and philosophy have all explored self-acceptance. Since Buddha’s teachings over two thousand years ago, the importance of self-acceptance has been highly debated. Modern psychological theories, therapeutic approaches, and contemporary literature, all contribute to the study of acceptance. Coaching, with its philosophy of assisting clients’ self-awareness and progress, is well-positioned to contribute to these ideas by promoting the value and practice of self-acceptance as it relates to the journey of personal enlightenment and transformation.

Clients can change from a place of disappointment, self-doubt, and self-criticism to one of satisfaction, compassion, and self-acceptance by using the Power Tool of Expectation vs. Acceptance to assist them to shift from an expectation of what “should” be to an acceptance of what “is.” In a world where we are bombarded with messages and images of success, perfection, and ideals, it is critical to recognize the internalized expectations that may be driving us, both consciously and unconsciously. Coaches are in a unique position to assist clients in letting go of their expectations and limiting beliefs in order to achieve acceptance and growth.
