A Coaching Model By Marianna Rolikova
Transformational Coach, Slovakia

Autonomy, Competence, and Relevance are the three basic needs established by the AWARE coaching model (Centre for Self-Determination Theory, 2014). It is a transformative coaching tool that increases self-awareness, identifies blind spots, and empowers people to make thoughtful decisions based on their increased awareness. This model enables coaches to assist clients in taking control of their personal and professional development by empowering them to take accountability for their growth and responsibility for their development. The AWARE Coaching Model is a cycle that includes “becoming aware of something,” “questioning one’s worthiness,” “acting,” “reflecting,” and “feeling.” This model offers clients a road map for growing in self-awareness, making healthy life changes, and reaching their full potential.
