A Coaching Model Created By Matthew Trethewey
Life Coach, HONG KONG

The IDEA coaching model: A four-step model for coaching clients. The first step in the model involves establishing the intention of the coaching relationship: the goal that the client wants to reach. Once the intention is established, the next step in the model is to discover more about the current situation including what led up to it and what else is going on under the surface. The next step in the model is the evaluation step. First, the coach challenges the client to think creatively to develop several potential solutions to their situation. The final step in the model is to co-create action steps with the client.
