Strengths vs. Weaknesses

A Coaching Power Tool By Jasmine Vincent
Executive Coach, SINGAPORE

To achieve excellence, one needs to develop self-awareness of what our greater and lesser talents are and invest in our talents to become strengths. We need to know how our strengths vs. weaknesses manifest in our daily lives, and we need to self-regulate in the areas that hinder our success. By focusing on strengths and managing weaknesses, people can become more efficient, happy, and successful. It’s a way to maximize our potential and reduce the frustration of mediocre progress.

Self-Determination Theory: How Managers Can Motivate Teams

A Research Paper By Audrey Bolo
Career Coach, KENYA

A key factor in employee motivation is the relationship they have with their manager. Strong managers typically understand the basic principles that motivate their team-based Self-Determination Theory (SDT). SDT is a macro theory of human motivation that focuses on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. All employees have three basic psychological needs—competence, autonomy, and connectedness—and meeting these needs increases motivation levels.

Momentum vs. Lethargy

A Coaching Power Tool By Audrey Bolo
Career Coach, KENYA

In the competitive societies we live in, there is not only a tendency to want to do everything but to do it perfectly. Having momentum can be a wonderful feeling but it is not a fixed state. The other end of the pendulum can be described as operating in a state of lethargy. At an emotional, mental, and/or physical low. Similar to momentum, feeling lethargic does not have to last forever. This power tool, Momentum vs. Lethargy helps Psychological Momentum (PM) plays a key role in goal pursuit and achievement. Research suggests that the main psychological processes that underpin momentum are confidence, perceived competence (self-belief), and internal attributions (e.g. personal skill).

The Role of Curiosity in the Coaching Session – The Coach’s Perspective

A Research Paper By Isabelle Finger
Executive Coach, UNITED STATES

Human beings were blessed with the gift of curiosity (which doesn’t mean that other animals are not curious!) and this phenomenon plays a crucial role in the person’s development and life in general. For the coach, curiosity is one of the key engines of any impactful session. In this research paper, I’m going to focus on a very specific aspect of the first of the “C’s”: the curiosity of the coach in a coaching session. To do this, I’ll look at two main questions: What is curiosity and how can coaches best use it in coaching sessions?

Embrace vs. Tolerate

A Coaching Power Tool By Isabelle Finger
Executive Coach, UNITED STATES

The first step for clients is to understand where they stand on the dichotomy between tolerating suboptimal situations and embracing change and growth. The use of both terms as “power tools” Embrace vs. Tolerate by the coach helps the client reframe their perspective and see their life and their potential through a more empowering perspective. The next step for the client is to leverage this awareness in their life by taking action and by learning. The coach can support this journey by fostering accountability and cultivating learning and growth.

The Phoenix – The Process Fire-Ashes-Rebirth

A Coaching Model By Isabelle Finger
Executive Coach, UNITED STATES

The Phoenix – the eagle-like bird who dies in flames and get reborn from its ashes – is a powerful symbol that continues to inspire writers (e.g., Fawkes, the Phoenix created by J.K Rowling as Dumbledore’s trustee companion) and artists in general across generations and cultures, as well as politicians (e.g., San Francisco added the Phoenix to its flag after the earthquake of 1906 as a symbol of the reconstruction of the city) and marketers. From the very beginning of my journey as a coach, I’ve felt that this symbol helps understand and describe what happens when someone engages in a coaching process.

Psychological Flexibility in Coaching

A Research Paper By Austin Tay
Executive Coach, SINGAPORE

In the context of a coach, a coach can help an individual create this balance. Psychological Flexibility in coaching the coach’s role is not to guide, lead or instruct how people are supposed to think, feel and change their behavior. Instead, the coach’s role is primarily to be the sounding board for people. The coach asks those questions to help individuals have self-awareness or self-realization to see and understand what is stopping them from moving forward. One model that is helpful for individuals to move from a state of stuckness to unstuckness is the Cognitive Triangle.

Rigidity vs. Flexibility

A Coaching Power Tool By Austin Tay
Executive Coach, SINGAPORE

Rigidity vs. Flexibility, – You have choices, humans are smart, and we sometimes make choices that are best for us at a given time. However, not all choices we make will provide the same results. What matters is that when we are making those choices, we need to ask ourselves one basic question – When we are in an unpleasant situation, what choices can carry us through the situation?

My PACT

A Coaching Model By Austin Tay
Executive Coach, SINGAPORE

It is inevitable for us, as humans, to experience negativity. Such experience is a response that we believe must conform to society’s standards, culture, upbringing, and consistent experience as we interact with people. However, to live by our values, we need to accept that our thoughts and emotions will be challenged and even destroyed. So, as we navigate the different stages (actions) of our journey, we need to look for the beacons (values) My PACT that guide us along the way.
