Resistance vs. Change

2023/08/02

A Coaching Power Tool By Ronda Harris
Blended Coach, NETHERLANDS

The concepts of change management as a driving force for progress form the foundation of the coaching power tool “Resistance vs. Change.” When I think back on my own coaching sessions, there have been several occasions when I have seen a client change their thinking. It’s amazing to watch them go through the transition on their own, and it’s satisfying for a coach to witness the effect coaching has on people. Implementing a change approach in a coaching setting can be very helpful when dealing with resistance. The first step in inspiring someone to accept change and take responsibility for finding the knowledge they need to advance is helping them become aware of what is holding them back.

Che cosa ci porta ad essere gentili e dire sempre di sì a tutto e tutti per andare d’accordo ed essere felici?In questo paper viene analizzato lo stile passivo e viene spiegatoil perché è utile scegliere la via di mezzo: la via dell’assertività.

Care vs. Control

Personal Coach, UNITED KINGDOM

The most important conclusion a coach can draw from using the power tool of “Care vs. Control” is that clients are motivated to change and willing to consider alternative strategies. Supporting the client throughout this process will enable you to assist them in acquiring the abilities, perceptions, and coping mechanisms required to shift to a more sympathetic and constructive method of approaching their interactions with others. When referring to relationships or interactions with others, the word “control” often denotes a desire to manipulate or have an impact on other people’s actions or results. “Care” usually refers to a sincere concern for someone’s wellbeing or best interests when we use it with other people or in interactions with them.

From Should vs. Good

A Coaching Power Tool By Paul Crabtree
Positive Attitude Coach, UNITED KINGDOM

This Power Tool is called “From Should vs. Good” and it retrains your brain to produce positive results by stopping negative self-talk. Statements beginning with the word “should” are an illustration of cognitive distortions, erroneous thoughts, and beliefs that we all hold in some shape or form. They could also be referred to as negative thought patterns and may have developed as a survival mechanism. They persist throughout time and, for those who experience them severely, are linked to depressive disorders, anxiety, and low self-esteem. On “Should” expressions, this paper will concentrate. Every one of the acknowledged distortions has a unique toolkit and recommended framework for rectification. Statements beginning with “should” and those that also contain “ought” and “must” are perceived as distortions and a sort of self-punishment.

Failure vs. Lesson

A Coaching Power Tool By Alex Chu
Transformational Coach, TAIWAN

The “Failure vs. Lesson” power tool can assist in changing our perspective from one that is disempowering to one that will keep us on course for ongoing improvement and growth. We now live in a rapidly evolving world where changes are occurring at a rate that has never been seen before. To adapt, we must learn to make mistakes and correct them quickly. Most failures present wonderful opportunities to learn about who we are and what we want in life. Following the client’s identification of this disempowering “Failure” attitude, we encourage the client to adopt a “Lesson” perspective and evaluate the potential outcomes they can derive from the events they previously viewed as failures.

Getting vs. Giving

A Coaching Power Tool By Peter Verbansky
Life Coach, UNITED STATES

A client’s perspective can be changed from one that is disempowering to one that gives them the ability to break free and advance with the use of the many “Getting vs. Giving” power tools offered by the FlipIt Framework. The four-step process for change starts by illuminating the issue, challenge, or problem; then it asks the client to reflect on how it feels to be in the problem; considers the client’s current perspective, which keeps them stuck or prevents them from moving forward; and finally, it “flips it” to an opposing, more potent, and substitute perspective, which enables a client to consider alternative approaches to solving the original challenge. The FlipIt process softly nudges client out of a mindset that hinders solutions from emerging while simultaneously powerfully challenging any perceived facts a client may have.

S1 vs. S2: Self-one (S1) vs. Self-two (S2)

A Coaching Power Tool By Loulia Kayali
Mental Coach, ITALY

One of the most effective do-it-yourself power tools is the S1 and S2: Self-one (S1) vs. Self-two (S2). An intelligent inner game management strategy helps you play your outer game (any external event or situation that may come your way) more effectively. Each of us has constant distractions in our hearts and minds that keep us from playing our inner games. Thus, a person can access their ability to perform in any given area by conquering their worries, doubts, and shortcomings. It took me more than ten years to learn that I was not in control of my inner game; instead, I was letting S1 (My Judge) take the initiative, ignoring my sentiments and underestimating the skills of S2 (my genuine self).

Opportunity vs. Obstacle

A Coaching Power Tool By Hélène Dumais
Human Performance Coach, CANADA

This Opportunity vs. Obstacle power tool, which combines conceptual understanding with practical application, is aimed for both professionals and ordinary individuals who want to make the most of their lives. When we understand and use a few things, we can boost our chances of success in traversing this protocol and using the distinctions in possibilities and barriers. Real-life problems that appear insurmountable at first appearance might be challenges. When we remove any labels or preconceived beliefs from a barrier and change our perspective on it, we may see the potential it offers. It emphasizes our full potential and what is possible.

Procrastination vs. Change

2023/07/04

A Coaching Power Tool By Regina Onderka
Change Coach, Life Coach, GERMANY

Procrastination vs. Change Power Tool: Many people opt to remain in their current positions. Even when the circumstance or the state of mind we’re in isn’t beneficial, healthy, or promising any longer, the sensation of what we know well and what feels comfortable is what’s holding us back. Letting go and moving forward toward growth is difficult. Change is a reality, and how we see it is entirely up to us. Change is a given and will continue to occur. We can continue with our usual routines and behaviors. We either need additional time to take action or procrastination in its bad form is preventing us from doing so. We can choose to adapt to change by altering our viewpoint.

Shame vs. Guilt: Guilt: A FlipIt Application

2023/06/30

A Coaching Power Tool By Jen Harris
Bias Coach, UNITED KINGDOM

I’ll use the ICA Flipit method in this power tool, Shame vs. Guilt: Guilt: A FlipIt Application, to examine an alternative viewpoint to the widely accepted notion of guilt. Changing our perspective and ‘seeing the world’ in a new way can be done in four steps using the FlipIt technique. Your existing perspective is exposed during the steps, and you are then encouraged to switch to another, more empowering one. I’ll discuss guilt in this section and offer a different viewpoint. As I broaden my coaching expertise and collaborate with more amazing people, I see a sinister reoccurring theme: the sense of guilt.
