Coaching in Health Care & Disability

2022/07/15

A Research Paper By Nadezda Nedospasova
Care & Resilience Coach, LATVIA

The inspiration for this Coaching in Health Care & Disability research came from my decision to transition from my professional career as a caregiver to a coaching career as a Care & Resilience Coach – someone who can give both care users and caregivers a voice. My extensive personal and professional experience in nursing has taught me that living with limited capabilities due to any situation is difficult not only for those who go through it, but also for those around them. Although life with a disability, as well as life around a disability, can be made the most of.

The Power of Baby Steps

2022/07/13

A Research Paper By Donald Borg
Transformational Coach, AUSTRALIA

Clarity and attention are essential for success. Beyond that, you will feel lost and become overloaded with information if you don’t keep your attention on where you want to go. You’ll know exactly what to do when you begin with Baby Steps. And all you need to do is adhere to the instructions. You don’t really care or worry about what will happen in the next ten years; all you do is concentrate on the now and make progress. The larger the task, the longer and more effort it will require. But it’s easier to do while taking the Baby Steps. And by doing this, you lose some of your initial resistance and complete the task.

Graceful Transitions

A Research Paper By Crystal Thompson
Transition Coach, UNITED STATES

Living in the modern world naturally entails having the freedom to make decisions. We have the power to choose our fate thanks to this freedom. Sometimes, events outside of our control lead us to our fate as well. It can be enlightening to be able to view these changes that are bestowed upon us through the prism of opportunity. It includes all that moves through us and is unique to each person, as well as the choice of viewpoint. By using our power of choice, we can see that voluntarily making the decision to go through Graceful Transitions can lead to major shifts along the way.

Viktor E. Frankl’s Philosophy as a Valuable Mindset for a Systemic Coaching Approach

2022/07/08

A Research Paper By Kristin Oberweger
Life Coach, AUSTRIA

I use Viktor E. Frankl’s theories and concepts in my systemic coaching practice. Since I’m also Viennese and interested in psychotherapy, it was only a matter of time before I delved into his well-regarded theory. Despite the fact that he died in 1997, his ideas, philosophy, and therapy – known as Logotherapy – are more important than ever in this vulnerable and sometimes volatile, fast-paced, and nowadays rough world. His philosophy – “individually bringing and in a concrete situation the utmost best out of us for our beloved and for the world and humans” – is still a concept for future world freedom and harmony.

Bold Kindness: An Interview With Stephan Thieringer From the Human Innovation Garage

2022/07/07

A Research Paper By James Levin
Business Coach, UNITED STATES

I had the pleasure of interviewing a “Bold Kindness” coach Stephan Thieringer, the founder of the Human Innovation Garage and one of the World Coaching Congress’ top 101 coaching leaders. Today, we talked about what it takes to be a successful coach and the mindset that coaches should adopt to be authentic and valuable to their clients. Stephan’s insights were especially valuable to me because his international work as an executive coach is an area in which I also want to make a difference. On top of that, Stephen is adept at focusing on the people at the heart of any issues his clients pose to the coach.

Evoking Awareness in Agile Transformation Through Professional Coaching

2022/07/05

A Research Paper By Ying Shing Wai
Agile Coach, HONG KONG

In this research paper, we concentrate on the “What” and “How” of arousing consciousness during a professional coaching session for an agile transformation. The most lasting approach is to alter the mindset using Agile transformation and principles rather than implementing various Agile ways of working into procedures. This research paper also has discussed every aspect of creating, examining, and spreading consciousness. The client’s willingness, however, is not. Four personality types—Seekers, Pleasers, Introspectors, and Aware—have distinctive behaviors that would influence the efficiency of expert coaching and the outcomes of the Agile Transformation, as indicated in the earlier studies. Another crucial subject is how to assist various types of people. It might be the next area of study.

SLOWNESS

2022/07/01

A Research Paper By Shruti Garyali
Transformational Coach, INDIA

What else can slowness be used for? Unfortunately, slowness is not accurately described by the vocabulary. Slowness must be viewed through a larger lens of life, lifestyle, and spirituality. Slowness is a means to reestablish a connection with both the self and the environment. It’s about finding an equilibrium in the hectic pace of the day or serenity among the constant buzz of our minds. When you move more slowly, you are likely to become slightly more aware of yourself and your surroundings. This increased awareness gives you the opportunity to ponder on both important and less important topics.

How Visualization Helps in Achieving What Matters to You

2022/06/30

A Research Paper By Bart van Grinsven
Life Coach, Business Coach, SPAIN

One technique that is often used in coaching is visualization because it is difficult to do this without some kind of image. In this research paper, I explore why a visualization is an effective tool for helping our clients achieve their own goals, and how it opens up a world of possibilities for realizing those aspirations. This research paper only briefly touches on a few applications of visualization in coaching. Also not covered in detail is the vast study that has been conducted on the subject.

Creating a Culture of Coaching in the Workplace

2022/06/29

A Research Paper By Beth Williams
Career Coach, UNITED STATES

What will coaching in the workplace look like in the future? According to a 2020 Forbes article, now is the moment for workplace coaching. Due to COVID-19, there has been chaos and confusion. The way we used to do business is no longer an option. It’s important to think creatively when things are chaotic. Creating a culture of coaching benefits the organization, its people, and its bottom line. The case for cultural change is clear. I am looking forward to being a part of my own organization’s transformative journey and using my coaching skills and knowledge to further the change in our people and the way we do our work.

Creating Empowering Opportunities in Optimization Projects Through Coaching

2022/06/28

A Research Paper By David Peterson
Optimization Coach, CANADA

When organizations undergo optimization projects, it creates a fearful and stressful environment for both employees and employers. Most businesses embark on optimization projects that prioritize efficiency over effectiveness. Many of those projects have business cases in which the immediate success of cutting costs and increasing profitability reduces the number of FTE (Full Time Equivalent) employees. Employees impacted by these projects frequently believe that their employers have no heart in these situations and are only concerned with the dollars saved rather than the value they bring. Organizational executives believe their hands are tied and thus do little to change that perception. They want a good outcome, but the perspectives, strategies, and mindsets required to support this transition must be developed.
