External vs. Internal is a power tool technique that can assist people in discovering their inner voice and truth. This tool assists people in realizing that they are in charge of their lives. It is up to them. There isn’t anyone else. They have the final say. Internal refers to what is on the inside of the self, whereas external refers to what is on the outside of the self. There can be immense growth when employing this powerful tool for investigation in a session. A client may express strong feelings about a situation. This idea could indicate that the client is dealing with opposing forces (external vs. internal). Typically, the client will concentrate on other people and how they made them feel.

Design, in its broadest sense, refers to the creation of a plan or concept. I’m a graphic designer and a coach. Hundreds of photos and concepts have been changed into something greater during my creative career. Improvements over the previous state. This idea has taught me to be more creative, patient, and open to new ideas. During my training as a coach and in sessions, I began to notice parallels between design and coaching. In a coaching session, we begin by exploring what the client has shared with us. The goal is brought up, and awareness grows. To make progress toward the client’s objectives, we examine and adjust views. A similar procedure is used to create a design, graphic, or piece of art.

In an organization, talent management aims to connect hiring, development, performance, and rewards across the employee experience’s life cycle in order to meet the company’s strategic goals (Lawler, 2019). All talent management techniques are connected, aligned, and measured via the lens of competencies (DDI, 2020). Coaching as a competency has transferable skill sets, toolsets, and mindsets that can be used in other, more general leadership qualities.

Acceptance and commitment coaching (ACC) is derived from acceptance and commitment treatment (ACT), which is pronounced similarly to the word “act.” ACT is part of the third wave of behavioral therapy, following the first wave of traditional behavioral therapy and the second wave of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Hayes et al., 2006). Unlike traditional behavioral therapy, which focuses solely on changing behaviors and largely ignores the role that thoughts play in those behaviors, or cognitive behavioral therapy, which aims to change a person’s thoughts and behaviors, ACT focuses on how we relate to our thoughts without attempting to change them, and on taking meaningful actions despite the presence of those thoughts (Hayes et al., 2013).

Freedom vs. Attachment may elicit unique topics in the coaching engagement when working with executives who are leading or experiencing transformations. Executives may present personal barriers around their beliefs, habits, and emotions in individual or group meetings for the needs of individuals, teams, and companies. When we go through a transformation, we question our behavior and mindset. The concept can elicit feelings of anxiety and exhilaration, as well as the sensation of being pushed or dragged. The old must give way to the new. In response to any changes we encounter together, we often learn something about ourselves and others.

Whether it’s in sports, job interviews, uncomfortable talks, or public speaking, performance appears in many aspects of life. In instances where we must be “on,” we frequently face internal hurdles, regardless of the performance domain. These obstacles give us two options: we can avoid the obstacle and avoid encountering something difficult, unpleasant, or uncomfortable, or we can move toward the difficulty, overcome any discomfort that arises from it, and develop strategies for overcoming it. In a nutshell, we have two options: Avoid vs. Approach it.

“C” It Through “Good” or “Positive”

A Coaching Model By Meaghan Sullivan
Performance Coach, UNITED STATES

My four-step coaching technique, “C” It Through, is based on the principles of acceptance and commitment coaching (ACC; Hill & Oliver, 2019). Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT; Hayes et al., 2006) claims that mindful awareness of our thoughts and feelings, without judgment, allows us to recognize and accept their presence. Through this acceptance, we can learn to live with unwelcome or unhelpful thoughts and feelings rather than changing, avoiding, or eliminating them. Instead, we might choose to connect with our values, or what matters most to us, and then commit to acting in accordance with those principles, regardless of our thoughts or emotions.
