2022/08/19

A Research Paper By Romina Tollerutti
Health Coach, UNITED STATES

As an ICA trainer looking to improve my coaching skills, I decided to interview Melinda Hoffman, co-founder of the National Association of Health Coaches, to learn more about her perspective on health coaching and the US healthcare system. I received my certification from the National Society of Health Coaches before I joined ICA, and I’m thrilled to be her student. Melinda is a Certified Health Coach and a Consultant in the field of integrating evidence-based health coaching and results into clinical practice and the workplace. She is a best-selling author, writer, educator, and well-known speaker in the field of home care, as well as the principal of Miller & Huffman Outcome Architects, LLC and a co-founder of the National Society of Health Coaches (www.nshcoa.com).

CAYA (Come As You Are)

2022/08/19

A Coaching Model By Lichenyang Zhou
Relationship Coach, CHINA

The target demographic for this CAYA (Come As You Are) coaching model is single women in their early 20s to late 30s who want to be satisfied, fulfilled, and happy in “their” relationships. The key to coaching is understanding that we never tell our clients what to do; instead, we assist them in identifying and forging their own course through life (ICA course material). Regardless of how many copies of a dating book are sold, the strategy described within might not still be suitable for a certain client. This coaching model, which aims to help clients understand themselves, must be used as a foundation. In a close connection, take into account the wants, values, and preferences. Analyze her sense of self-worth, satisfaction, and well-being both inside and outside of her intimacy. Only then will the search for love begin.

Integrity vs. Dishonesty

2022/08/18

A Coaching Power Tool By Barbara DeMatte
Business Coach, UNITED STATES

While most of us would say we are open and honest in our business, the difference between integrity vs. dishonesty is that we may try to justify white lies. This idea could include overstating the worth of a product, adjusting what we can do to win a pitch, or overpromising our services. This fact won’t be possible if you have integrity, which is important since you won’t end up in a situation where you have to deliver less than you promised. Overpromising and underdelivering are one of the most damaging things you can do to new business partnerships. This is why maintaining integrity at all times, even in the most little circumstances, is important.

Aqua Model – Let It Flow, You Will Move Forward

2022/08/18

A Coaching Model By Alexandra Jimenez
Career Coach, SWITZERLAND

A coaching model called Aqua reflects movement, the movement that has defined people from the very beginning of time. Our ability to adapt and move forward through exploration, learning, and evolution is critical to our existence. This concept helps those who wish to change careers or leave their current occupation but keep their professional connections active. The analogy with Aqua refers to a powerful energy flow that enables life to go on. Our lives, like water, look for a way to move and flow with energy.

Brain Based Coaching, an Interview With Candace Brower

2022/08/17

A Research Paper By Dana Wu
Career Coach, UNITED STATES

Interview with Candace Brower, an ICA alumna with expertise in brain based coaching. She used to teach at Northwestern University, and at the moment she is working on a book titled The Mind’s Toolkit. This is a self-help book that can be used by coaches who want to practice brain-based coaching. My impression is that the main focus of brain based coaching is to help people understand how their brain works so they can make it work for them. For instance, you can take control of your brain by realizing you can regulate the flashlight of what you pay attention to.

Progression vs. Perfection

2022/08/17

A Coaching Power Tool By Romina Tollerutti
Health and Wellness Coach, UNITED STATES

Health, including weight management, has been a hot topic, especially with the rise in the obesity epidemic and the COVID epidemic in recent years. While most people understand that taking care of their health is essential to a happy life, most people fail to do so. One of the reasons, in my experience, is how a health journey is approached: an all-or-nothing or perfectionist mindset. This power tool assists people in transitioning from Progression vs. Perfection. Help them become aware of a perfectionist mindset and redefine it as a progressive mindset while engaging them in the coaching process.

5E – Guiding Young Emerging Managers

2022/08/16

A Coaching Model By Mandy Leung
Transformational Coach, SINGAPORE

This coaching model (5E) is designed to assist coaches in guiding young emerging managers to discover the meaning/purpose of their lives, as well as to empower and energize them to find their solutions. This model can be used as a transformational tool for people who are going through personal or professional changes. Given that the workplace is changing and that managers’ expectations are changing, how can our young generation (millennials and Gen Z) lead the team in a “never normal” environment? Many of our coaching clients (in their twenties, thirties, and forties) come to us with the question “what is my purpose?” They have a strong desire to make a positive difference in the world, but they are unsure how to do so.

De-stigmatizing Mental Health Conditions for Coaches

2022/08/16

A Research Paper By Tessa D’Arcangelew Ampersand
Transformational Coach, UNITED STATES

Therapy-seeking individuals are not flawed. You undoubtedly know a lot of people who are in therapy or who could use counseling. Despite the many obstacles, those who choose treatment should be seen as making the decision bravely. Coaches can help clients as they choose to seek out their own care by approaching the topic of therapy and mental health disorders with mindfulness and self-awareness. For clients, therapy and counseling can also complement each other, with the former assisting with the past and the latter assisting in understanding mental health issues and available treatments.

Fear vs. Presence

2022/08/15

A Coaching Power Tool By Alexandra Jimenez
Career Coach, SWITZERLAND

In many life situations where we are overcoming Fear vs. Presence, we find ourselves having to make a decision, willing to make a change, motivated to try something new, or even wanting to stop doing something, and then the usual ‘but’ comes into play. A sense of unease begins to creep in; it can cause us to delay our actions, or even cause pain. If we look closely at what it is, we can honestly say it is fear. In the context of coaching, the most common fear we see is one that is not only uncomfortable but also frustrating and painful. If we let it stay with us for too long, it can make us feel trapped, either unable to stop or unable to do something.

PERSON

A Coaching Model By Nadezda Nedospasova
Care & Resilience Coach, LATVIA

I started my coaching career with a clear goal: to help people with disabilities and those around them find new ways to be happy in their lives, relationships and work. By helping to discover their true potential, optimize their partnerships and achieve their goals in an extremely challenging environment. Broaden their horizons by doing their best to be heard and seen on their daily journey. Guided by one of the main concepts of professional and effective coaching – coaching is not a story, but a person – and realizing that this concept has strong application in my niche, I developed my coaching model PERSON.
