A Research Paper By Uljana Kalinova

Being curious is one of the essential components of a fruitful coaching session from the perspective of both the coach and the client, according to this research paper on developing curiosity. Coupled with presence, it enables everything that happens during a coaching session, including clarifying, exploring, reflecting, learning, and finding solutions, which in turn ensures progress and change. To support evoking awareness in the client through active listening, potential questioning, and useful feedback, the coach must maintain curiosity and presence. It is vital for the client to remain curious in order to be open to any process of self-discovery that may arise and to be prepared to challenge limiting structures or beliefs.

Wholeness vs. Perfection

A Coaching Power Tool By Uljana Kalinova

Recognizing when the pursuit of perfection becomes the primary motivator of our actions or attitudes is the first step toward shifting our perspective from Wholeness vs. Perfection. We can begin by answering the question, “What causes you to act in a certain way?” To achieve that level of clarity. What motivates this behavior? What do you feel or think as this behavior occurs? It’s time to reconsider our current viewpoint and consider what other options might exist if we’re willing to commit to doing so. Being surrounded by other young coaches has taught me that many of us strive for perfection out of a sense of inadequacy.

JOY – Journey to Happiness

A Coaching Model By Uljana Kalinova

In my coaching work, I have observed that the ultimate goal of any subject chosen by a client is to bring about change that creates new opportunities and improves the quality of life. To put it another way, we are all looking for ways to be happier. Though many people find it difficult to define happiness. Therefore, this coaching model is called JOY to reflect the spirit of the larger purpose of finding happiness, while using more easily defined and specific words. We’ll do it in three simple steps, with J (step 1) serving as an anchor, O (step 2) as a wind rose, and Y (step 3) as a sail – the bolstering factors we’ll need to be successful on our voyage for joy.
