Flip It: To Create a Connection With the Audience

2023/11/22

A Case Study By Roxana Stoica
Mindset Shift Coach, SWITZERLAND

Personally, I felt that this session served as a useful reminder of the Flip It framework and, beyond it, of how important and quick it can be to change our perspectives and cling to our values in order to transition into a more empowering state of mind that makes room for action. At the beginning of the session, the client expressed some concerns about starting an Instagram account for his coaching business. Specifically, she worries about coming up with original material and sharing content that will be interesting to her audience. Succeeding this segment of the discussion, I proposed that we use the International Coaching Academy’s “Flip It” coach guide as a framework to pinpoint the disempowering viewpoint and make an effort to change the mindset.

A Case Study By Shirley Kadouri

Wenny agreed to use the Flipit Workshop Framework to identify the viewpoint she now has toward her difficulty and learn the “flip it alternative,” which should enable her to find fresh approaches to deal with it more successfully. Several years ago, Wenny was a direct report to me, and ever since then, we’ve been in touch. Wenny is my client. We communicate frequently and share both personal and professional views. Wenny was eager to be mentored and graciously agreed to become a client of mine while I was training as a coach through the ICA Careers Programme.

A Case Study By Susanmarie Grace Oddo
Life Coach, SWITZERLAND

Kris is the name of the paying client I’ve been working with for several weeks. Kris, a talented visual artist, finds it difficult to express herself verbally; during her coaching sessions, she frequently sketches down her thoughts and answers. I showed her the FlipIt! After discovering that she learns best with graphics. Consider Power Tool as a potential option for a subsequent session. Kris agreed right away and proposed using the FlipIt! a tool for our upcoming meeting. Chris’ goal for the next meeting was to discuss how to increase her happiness and carefree engagement during evening walks. Kris admitted that she frequently carries work-related thoughts with her on her nighttime strolls, keeping her mind busy.

Lightness vs. Significance Case Study

A Case Study By Janene Panek
Teen Coach, UNITED STATES

In this “Lightness vs. Significance” case study, I will be evaluating the disempowerment perspective of a client named Stephanie. She is a client who has lived abroad (and has done so for a while) but is originally from the United States. I have a client named Stephanie who works very hard and is happy to take on a lot of new assignments. She routinely enrolls in new programs to earn certificates and, as she told me, once she becomes invested in something, she tends to “go all in.” Due to her willingness to put in the time and effort, she has built herself up as a subject matter expert in many different fields as a result of the way she lives.

From Delay… to Lightness!

A Case Study By Audrey Falduzzi
Life Coach, SWITZERLAND

The case study is on Natasa, an ICA student, and is titled “From Delay… to Lightness.” A few months ago, we began doing weekly or biweekly peer coaching sessions. Our mutual respect and non-judgment is the foundation of our trusted friendship. Prior to the session, we decided to use the Flip It tool. Because of this, she was aware that the session would enable her to try to address a persistent problem that she desired to alter and was willing to do so. Natasa learned a lot about herself thanks to the Flip It tool, which performed wonderfully well. It took two sessions to develop a potent awareness-raising technique (session 1) that made it crystal plain to Natasa how she needed to alter her perspective.

Clearing the Path: A Client’s Journey to a Value-led Life

2023/08/03

A Case Study By Darshini Santhanam
Personal Coach, UNITED KINGDOM

I’ll refer to the client as “Client M” throughout this “Clearing the Path” case study. M began working with me as a coach at the beginning of 2023. They had a lot of notes about their work when they arrived for the first session, and they wanted to find out what their next steps should be in terms of their careers. In this case study, I examine this client’s path to a greater sense of self and, ultimately, clarity on their career objectives. As a coach, I handled Client M’s situation with interest and understanding. Client M was going through a trying moment in his career; he was having trouble with the Uber culture and with unclear and conflicting directives from management, but he liked the work he was doing.

How Coaching Supports Management Decision

2023/07/27

A Case Study By Wai Lan Kwan
Life Coach, HONG KONG

My case study, “How Coaching Supports Management Decisions,” was inspired by my human resources department’s request that I participate in a program for vocational coaches. One of my coworkers is aware of my studies to become a coach. She is having an issue with her employees and needs a coach to help her grasp the situation and make decisions. I utilize FlipIt to help my clients with their issues. FlipIt is based on the idea that we have a choice in how we interpret the world. Two people may experience the same scenario and react in quite different ways. Additionally, I use the positive psychology framework and ask insightful questions to support decision-making.

Priority and Value

A Case Study By Nadine Kooiker
Leadership Coach, NETHERLANDS

Relationships frequently take on a higher priority and value when a person has cancer. According to Northhouse et al. (2010), Coping mechanisms, including seeking social support, can help cancer patients manage emotional distress. Last but not least, a person’s mental wellbeing and quality of life before and after cancer treatment can be influenced by the social setting, such as the support of family and friends, (Kroenke et al., 2006). Having received her stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis in the year 2020, Anne is now undergoing treatment with the help of a full medical and integrated health team.

In contrast, it offers a flexible coaching program that must change each time according to the client’s needs, since each client is unique.
