Loss and Mourning in Career Coaching

2022/08/30

A Research Paper By Mark Wavle
Career and Agile Coach, UNITED STATES

In essence, I’m looking at how grief counseling and career coaching interact and how this might help our clients. We may find that our clients are unable to advance in areas where they haven’t addressed a related loss, as I discovered with my coaching client. As we work with clients to determine their next steps, some of the obstacles our clients face can be the result of pent-up grief and loss. Mourning allows for the possibility of reframing, which provides our clients with the development and motion they want.

Helplessness vs. Control

A Coaching Power Tool By Lichenyang Zhou
Relationship Coach, CHINA

In order to help the clients in these three situations feel more at ease and less helpless, the Helplessness vs. Control coaching power tool is presented. When something terrible happens and they feel helpless, how can we as coaches help people change their perspective and focus on a sense of control? The essay that follows will first look at how helplessness and control are defined before delving into two crucial psychological ideas that are central to this coaching model: learned helplessness and locus of control. The Power Tool will then be discussed, along with how to use it in a coaching setting, after that. In the article’s conclusion, there will be a case study and some coaching questions.

POWER

Communities can gain tremendous strength by coming together and working towards a common goal. Community organizers, artists, educators, and nonprofit workers are frequently those who bring people together and build power; their skills, abilities, and purpose-driven lives are like the water and care that nurtures seeds into the garden. My coaching focuses on those who are starting a movement, working creatively, working for nonprofits, and in an often-overlooked middle ground: at the center of a career, employment, or the past and the future. While I was in the midst of my career and feeling stagnant and worn out, I was given the opportunity to receive therapy that is normally only granted to senior and executive-level managers. Those in non-profit and movement positions who recognize their POWER can use this method to combat burnout or workplace aggravation.

Values Clarification: The Path to the WHO

2022/08/26

A Research Paper By Mareva Godfrey
Parenting Coach, UNITED STATES

Many of the values we learn as children persist throughout our lives, while others are still being picked up, developed, and abandoned. Even as adults, our fundamental views still shape who we are, whether we realize it or not. These influences come from friends, spouses, coworkers, mentors, clergy, and the larger culture. Furthermore, a person’s personal values are linked to society’s moral norms and are impacted by ethics, which is a set of values that define proper behavior for a group, such as honesty, cooperation, and professionalism. Because they are the implicit and explicit agreements about how we will behave while we are together, values, morality, and ethics are essential to the success of a “culture”.

Journey vs. Destination

Life Coach, BRUNEI

Most people want to get to their destination as quickly as possible and avoid the difficult routes there. Sometimes, you get so caught up in doing simply to get to the goal that you stress yourself out and overlook the beauty of the journey of becoming who you are. Definition of Journey vs. Destination: The destination is referred to as the objective in this context, but the journey is being present and watching the work in progress. Destination motivates you to begin your journey and gives you a sense of direction. The journey will enrich you, allowing you to grow on this journey beyond just reaching your goals.

Health and Wellness Coach, UNITED STATES

Birds’ nests, stand in for the affection, dedication, and work required to create a happy home. When the pigeons are ready to begin their own lives, the birds use the nest they worked so hard to build to protect and raise them. By giving parents the tools and support they need to get healthier, we can help them become role models for their kids, feel empowered to make the necessary lifestyle adjustments, and continue to raise healthy families. These young people will grow into healthy adults with all the resources they need to do the same for their families. For parents and kids to have a healthy and fulfilling life, a solid nest is constructed.

A Research Paper By Barbara DeMatte
Business Coach, UNITED STATES

In the business world, managers are often promoted from superstar employees who manage a team that produces widgets. Most of the time, those who possess the knowledge, aptitude, or capacity to manage are not promoted to managerial positions. Instead, a position became available, and the best widget maker or the worker with the longest tenure was given the job. This research paper won’t assess how people should be judged on their capacity to fill managerial positions. Instead, it will concentrate on how to coach the person to use the tools and resources at hand to become a better Developing Managers of People™.

Survive vs. Thrive

A Coaching Power Tool By Mareva Godfrey
Parenting Coach, UNITED STATES

If we are lucky enough to live long enough, all will eventually suffer a setback so severe that it will shake their world. These are the situations or events that, for many people, are in keeping with their “normal” lives and force them to “survive, get through, put one foot in front of the other, seek the light at the end of the tunnel, get out of the dark hole” while they wait for time to pass, for something to alter, for them to get through the difficulty—and return to “normal.” The process of helping clients transition from a Survive vs. Thrive mindset requires several steps. Listening to the repeating patterns of underlying beliefs that suggest that in his or her mind the only way forward in facing adversity is using coping mechanisms and waiting to “get through” is necessary.

EXCEL (End, Explore, Commit, Experiment, Learn)

A Coaching Model By Dana Wu
Career Coach, UNITED STATES

In order to fulfill my responsibility as a coach, I created the EXCEL Model. The approach offers a helpful framework to guide clients accomplish their objectives. The concept was helpful in igniting interest and revitalizing work for several people who felt disengaged at their jobs. Others have used it as a parenting tool to help them figure out how to balance meeting their needs with those of their kids. Others still use it to break bad behavior. The EXCEL Model aspires to be a versatile tool. My clients are supported by the EXCEL (End, Explore, Commit, Experiment, Learn) paradigm. Starting with the end in mind is helpful for clients. It keeps them interested.

Powerlessness vs. Owning It

Almost everyone has felt helpless at some point in their lives. The difference between powerlessness vs. Owning it is, When someone feels powerless, they are likely to feel stuck, lost, and silenced. It is not a trivial experience since who has power, who does not, who seeks power, and who is deserving of power has shaped much of human history. Ownership and “Owning It,” however, are two distinct but linked concepts. Ownership entails accountability, taking the initiative, and accepting responsibility for the effects of your actions. These characteristics are all present in Owning It, but it also has a light, fun tone and emphasizes the grandeur of the person rather than their achievements or external presence.
