The Role of Coaching Leaders | Difficult Conversations

2023/06/16

A Research Paper By Kate Glover,
Leadership Coach, AUSTRALIA

This research paper on coaching leaders aims to investigate the function of coaching in assisting leaders in having challenging conversations and providing feedback. It will examine how coaching may be used practically in this situation with a focus on emotional intelligence, process versus the human perspective, appreciative inquiry, and discovering the “why.” Life requires us to engage in challenging talks. It will be necessary for leaders in an organizational setting to muster the fortitude to offer feedback to the workers they supervise and to engage in unpleasant talks. These discussions could be about a number of things, including poor behavior, poor performance, conveying an unpopular message, and much more. According to numerous studies, leaders will go to great efforts to avoid having difficult conversations with their people.

In order to combat bias, the BIAS/B.I.A.S coaching model provides a novel strategy centered on the coaching process.

Life Coach, NETHERLANDS

This approach to innovation is an essential part of the power tool Existing vs. Creation. There is an existing need to create answers that follow logic or habitual habits of thought.

A coach can help a client shift from a current attitude to one that allows for innovative production. In this paper, we shall define existence before presenting a method that incorporates creation.

Empowering Women Leaders With the Compelling ‘TAF’ Awareness Coaching Tool

A Research Paper By Nathalie Legault
Leadership Coach, CANADA

I originally learned to coach using the TAF Awareness Technique. It allows me to expose TAF combinations that I don’t need, almost always resulting in a release. The treatment made me feel lighter as it progressed, and it gave me the space and courage to recover my power. As a result, I produced more satisfying and long-lasting TAF picks. As a result of coaching, I began to see an inner metamorphosis, which exposed some of my dormant potential. Given this coaching experience and the data in the research paper, it is advantageous to use the TAF awareness tool for coaching. To be altered, the visible and invisible components of our ideas, feelings, and behaviors must be understood.

A Coaching Power Tool By Christie Chua
Transformational Coach, SINGAPORE

This Frustration vs. Motivation power tool was created as a part of a personal journey for me. For the majority of my career, I faced concerns and challenges head on. There seemed to be this unseen power and drive that allowed me to bulldoze my way through such challenges with such force; it was almost as if it came from an infinite source! After a life-changing experience, I began to doubt my work’s purpose. And soon, I realized, the urge was vanished. I felt thrown off my game, reduced, and soon, every issue and challenge became more difficult to conquer. I also began to blame myself and felt bad about how I had allowed myself to reach to this position.

Imagination: How Imagining Helps Social Entrepreneurs Create an Impactful Project

2023/06/07

A Research Paper By Marijn Sissingh
Life Coach, NETHERLANDS

Imagination is the act of creating a mental picture of something that is not physically there or that was never fully observed in reality. This can help people imagine the future and use this picture to develop solutions and action plans before taking actual action. A coach must comprehend what imagination is and the things that affect it in order to effectively guide the coachee. The coach could train social entrepreneurs in different fields or use meditation techniques to stimulate the various networks rather than asking questions. Although neuroscience is still a relatively new field of study, this publication has shown how knowledge of the various brain networks influences coaching tactics and practice.

TPL – The Purpose Lotus Coaching Model

2023/06/06

A Coaching Model By Christos Vasilopoulos
Business Coach, GREECE

A person can use TPL – The Purpose Lotus Model to see themselves and the situation as they actually are, both from the inside out and as a “3rd person” looking on from a distance or from another angle. Once a strong point has been established, one can proceed. The entire goal is to deepen the client’s awareness and understanding to the point where it results in actions that are worthwhile and that the client can uphold. The lotus flower is a potent representation of suffering, especially the pain of going through challenging experiences in order to grow and develop. Where it grows, in the mud, are the trials and tribulations of life. The flower, however, stands in for the elegance and knowledge that can result from these circumstances.

Burden vs. Load

A Coaching Power Tool By Josh Bolland
Teen and Parent Coach, BRAZIL

The key to moving away from burden vs. load is to look for ways to clarify or alter a client’s understanding or perception of the responsibilities or duties they feel they have to something rather than removing them entirely. Whether they are self- or externally imposed, burdens add weight to a client’s life and prevent them from contributing to and enjoying their community. This overwhelming feeling has an effect on the client’s well-being as well as the community to which they belong. A person can often be burdened by a sense of responsibility or obligation. Coaches can help their clients clarify their thinking, rather than trying to relieve them of any sense of obligation or responsibility.

A Journey of the New You – A Case Study on Transformation Coaching With Self-Compassion

2023/06/02

A Case Study By Christie Chua
Transformational Coach, SINGAPORE

This case study follows L on a journey as she clarified her values and beliefs and rediscovers what is important to her. We looked deeper into what was preventing her and together, we uncovered her obstacles. We’re still in the early stages of our coaching relationship, so we’re still figuring out how to help her face her obstacles head-on. We’re also keeping a close eye on how her life is progressing to see if the strategies we came up with are helping her. L shared that even though her portfolio was made specifically for her at the beginning of our coaching journey, she seemed to have lost interest in her work. L and I exchanged a picture. The bicycle’s “purpose” was depicted in a line drawing.
