Conventionality vs. Individuality

Career Transition Coach, UNITED STATES

The key differences between conventionality vs. individuality are “Conventionality,” which is the idea of conformity, standards, or any beliefs or practices that are simply assumed to be followed. Anyone can run into convention problems. It can manifest as the things you do or believe, as well as the things you avoid doing or disbelieving in. While “Individuality” frequently necessitates defying convention. There will be times when you defy conventional wisdom, even though you will undoubtedly identify with some of it. Individuality includes both traditional viewpoints and those that are completely at odds with them. And each person’s unique combination of conventional and original viewpoints defines who they are.

Life Coach, UNITED STATES

Consider an instance when something did not go as planned. What was the situation? What difficulties did you encounter? How did it affect how you felt? What did you do with it? In order to find solutions to a problem or challenge they are facing, clients seek coaching. They look for a setting where they can express their feelings without restraint. They want to aspirate, dream, and work with a coach to achieve the desired result. The coach and the client must work together to shift the client to the Opportunity vs. Obstacle path.

Doubt vs. Power

Following the use of the Doubt vs. Power tool, a number of clients have quickly identified the things they want to change about their lives. Being a complete, genuine human being means that it’s normal to occasionally feel insecure. Instead of being a passing emotion, however, persistent feelings of unease and an exaggerated sense of inadequacy can last for a long time and have an impact on all facets of life. When a client exhibits or expresses feelings of self-doubt, they frequently think they need “confidence” or help in managing their time or energy when they seek coaching.

Being vs. Doing

In coaching, it’s essential to understand the difference between Being vs. Doing. Doing pertains to all the client’s outward manifestations, including their actions, decisions, and behaviors. Being is linked to the “who.” It’s a result of their characteristics, outlook, and mindset. It’s their way of thinking, their presumptions about who they are and where they belong in the world. As was previously mentioned, when we choose to change, we frequently begin at the Doing level. We try to try new things or approach things in novel ways. On the Being level, however, we haven’t really paid attention. As a result, the change is transient, and we eventually revert to our pre-existing defaults.

Negative vs. Neutral

Leadership Coach, UNITED STATES

I’ve been using Neutral vs. Negative as a power tool in my practice. And I remind my clients that they can do the work themselves, and that mindset management takes practice. The better they can capture and neutralize negative thoughts, the faster they can develop positive thoughts, feelings, and actions. So far, it has received positive feedback from clients who say that they feel more empowered and in control when they can better manage their minds. However, they all agree that capturing the thoughts of the moment can be difficult because they can be present for so long that they become completely unconscious.

Relationship Coach, AUSTRIA

According to the power tool, The Rollercoaster vs. Owning Your Relationship Needs, the first step in owning your attachment needs is becoming aware of them. To own them, you must be more deliberate and effective in expressing your relationship needs. If you’re dating, knowing whether or not your potential partner can and wants to meet these needs can help you make a decision. It will make it easier for your partner to meet your needs, whether you are in a committed or short-term relationship. It eliminates the need for guesswork and helps your partner understand potential thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Fear or Anxiety vs. Courage

A Coaching Power Tool By Angela Stockinger
Career Coach, SPAIN

What is the opposite of Fear or Anxiety vs. Courage? What will happen to clients who claim they need a plan or more clarity? What exactly are they seeking? When you use these types of questions to test a client, they frequently respond that they will feel better about themselves, have more peace of mind, and feel better about themselves as a result. To me, courage is what it takes to get there. The courage to delve deeper, the courage to reflect on what is under your control while facing hard truths, the courage to name unpleasant emotions, the courage to – at times – accept that you are not ready to move on and view this as a lesson. Courage will enable one to deviate from the norm and take decisions, but getting there may take some time.

Me vs. Real Me

A Coaching Power Tool By Julia Viladomiu
Motherhood Coach, NEW ZEALAND

Me vs. Real Me is a power tool that focuses on an attitude, feeling, or emotion. It shifts your viewpoint from one of negativity, fear, uncertainty, and fraud to one of positivity. One that illuminates the path ahead and changes a person’s perspective. What I’m going to say here might seem vague and unrelatable, but in my experience, those viewpoint changes are the most important ones. The lack of clarity, the sense of being stuck, the unknown, and the uncertainty not related to one topic in particular, a job issue, a conflict, or something concrete going on in the client’s life, are some of the topics I have encountered most frequently, probably because my niche kind of targets them.

Sense of Control vs. Sense of Community

A Coaching Power Tool By Adam Bower
Leadership Coach, IRELAND

The Coach’s Role: Sense of Control vs. Sense of Community: When we take on the role of a coach, we have no control over our clients’ experiences or the results of our discussions. We create empowering, safe spaces for relationships, energy, and growth because that’s what community is about. It’s impossible to predict in full what will be discussed in a session or how a client will react. As our clients, the only thing we can control is how we respond right now. By collaborating with our clients to co-create a future path and a sense of community, we can invite exploration and respond to the challenge.
