Understanding Interdependence in the Thinking Process

2023/05/23

A Research Paper By Christos Vasilopoulos
Business Coach, GREECE

By understanding the interdependence of all things in the thought process, a coach can see and be aware of whether something is a “fact” or a “belief”; to recognize whether a feeling or a thought is self-existing or interdependent, its “birth canal” and structural elements. As a result of knowing the “truth” of things, ideas, and emotions, a person can make informed decisions and ask pertinent questions. This research paper aims to demonstrate that everything in and outside of our heads is interdependent, and that recognizing the dependent component leads to a dramatic improvement in the thought process for problems and decisions. It increases the awareness of the coach, which in turn increases the awareness of the client.

Employee Burnout: How Coaching Can Support Individuals and Organisations

2023/05/18

A Research Paper By Doris Bisaro
Well-Being Coach, ITALY

The new epidemic is work burnout. In the age of hybrid work, businesses cannot let their guard down when it comes to mental health and wellbeing if they want to maintain employee engagement and productivity. According to recent research, organizations must address the toxic culture that fosters burnout in order to address this condition on a systemic level. On the other hand, we see a wide range of personal solutions, such as coaching. In my research paper, I examine both strategies and show how they are not mutually exclusive. A systemic approach to burnout prevention would be advantageous, but early detection and recovery from a burnout also heavily depend on people’s ability to come up with coping mechanisms for their manifestations of this condition, which is becoming more and more common.

Hardwired for Purpose

A Research Paper By Marianna Rolikova
Transformational Coach, SLOVAKIA

Knowing our Hardwired for Purpose gives us meaning, something to strive for, and functions almost like an internal compass to guide us through life’s challenges. Finding and cultivating positive emotions and with them, our purpose in life, something we are hardwired for, depends on understanding what our current definition of purpose is (even if we are not sure about it), how that links to our needs, and how much they align with our current mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional growth. Finally, how does all of this align with our internal language – How do we articulate our growth and emotional states in different areas?

“The Slope” Physiological Effects of Anxiety and Depression

2023/05/09

A Research Paper By Amanda Norwood
Change Coach, UNITED STATES

Anxiety and depression affect more Americans than ever before. In this research, I will look at the physiological effects of anxiety and depression, as well as different perspectives on emotions and coping mechanisms. The final section will look at when and how coaching can help with healing. My paper on this topic was inspired by an event in my own life. The Arkansas River is followed by a trail near my house. Nine miles of the trail’s length is paved ground that is essentially pancaked flat. In one spot, the trail has a small incline. There are exactly 12 walking steps. The elevation change is, at best, a minor hiccup.

A Research Paper By Mofoluwaso Afolakemi Ilevbare
Life Coach, AUSTRALIA

Businesses are discovering that coaching is a crucial leadership strategy for fostering talent development and business success. Businesses are realizing the value of fostering a team-oriented environment that values collaboration over authority more than ever. For those who adopt it, this shift produces fantastic results. Employees can use coaching to strengthen their bonds with their managers and help good managers become better managers. Greater self-awareness, a better understanding of the driving forces behind others’ behavior, enhanced communication abilities, and improved performance can all be brought about by coaching. Effective use of the coaching style in performance management can increase job satisfaction and employee engagement.

The Role of Somatic Practice in Coaching

2023/04/27

A Research Paper By Joshua Schwarzberg
Mindset Coach, UNITED STATES

People can use somatic practice to access their innate evolutionary intelligence. The term “living organism in its wholeness” is the definition of soma in Greek. Another way to think about this idea is to consider this practice as something that takes into account the mind and body. The somatic approach not only emphasizes the brain’s and intellect’s cognitive abilities, but it also serves as a reminder that our physical bodies and hearts also house our experiences, knowledge, and habits. The somatic approach invites us to connect with our most basic intelligence—our physical body—in a world where distractions are constantly available. We can speed up growth and promote lasting change by learning about the history of somatics and comprehending its relevance in the coaching context.

Character Strength-Based Leadership Coaching

2023/04/20

A Research Paper By Anita Szabo
Leadership & Career Coach, HUNGARY

A character strength-based leadership coaching approach is empowering, energizing, and connecting in that coaches embody and exhibit their own character strengths as they tell clients about strengths and support clients in developing their own character strengths for enhancing well-being and dealing with adversity in their own distinctively personal way and with their orientation/approach to helping. In fact, not all good leaders, let alone all leaders, consider leadership to be a core competency. Leadership is a trait that is shared by people of all ages and backgrounds. Someone who lists leadership as one of their top talents, like everyone else, does not automatically become an effective leader.

Using Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory to Support Learning in Mentoring & Coaching Relationships

2023/04/14

A Research Paper By Jennifer Stanley
Professionals Coach, CANADA

According to Sophocles’ quote, “There is no success without hardship.” It’s worth noting that the term “pivot” has recently gained popularity and is essentially a rebranding of a company’s potential failure. Consequently, obstacles appear to be unavoidable on the path to success. But what if we could avoid costly, time-consuming setbacks and progress toward individual success without encountering as many unnecessary roadblocks? This eventuality, I believe, we can achieve by incorporating Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory into one’s learning activities. I am convinced that Bandura’s theory can be applied to coaching and the coachee’s relationship with a skilled mentor.

Parental Burnout: Burnout High in Parents of Neurodivergent Children

2023/03/30

A Research Paper By Michelle Piasecki
Life Coach, UNITED STATES

Parental burnout is one of these areas of burnout. As men and women balance work and parent responsibilities in recent years, this type of burnout has drawn more attention, especially since the pandemic brought families’ needs to light. According to some studies, parents of neurodivergent children are more likely to experience burnout because they must manage their child’s difficult struggles, medication, medical appointments, and school events. This fact can have an adverse effect on the parents’ physical and mental health. The good news is that you can lessen burnout symptoms by addressing the expectations and loneliness that come with helping parents understand and cope with their child’s diagnosis and difficulties.
