A Coaching Power Tool By Beth Williams,
Career Coach, UNITED STATES

I came up with at least ten different alternatives for my power tool, but there was one that kept coming back to me: the difference between Communicating vs. Storytelling. I had this idea while completing my annual performance review. I am the team leader of a 13-person administrative staff. Each executive assistant supports a group of leaders. As part of my role, I visit leaders to ensure their support needs are addressed and to identify areas of potential growth for our executives.

The SEEDING

A Coaching Model By Bart van Grinsven
Life Coach, Business Coach, SPAIN

Taking an honest look at your current situation, goals, and objectives can be difficult and daunting. A good coach can help you at this point to find the solutions, and you can use this invitation to get in touch with the little person you once were, who is now carrying a magnificent backpack of talents, skills, and experiences that will enable you to design a fulfilling life that has meaning and purpose on your terms. SEEDING is the name of the 6-step coaching method I created. The seed has all the information it needs to grow into a beautiful tree, just like in the natural world. It only has to be planted in rich soil, and with enough attention, it will develop into a powerful tree that will provide the ecosystem and conditions needed for other life to coexist peacefully with its presence.

Sticky vs. Step

A Coaching Power Tool By Leslie Ford
Education Coach, UNITED STATES

Sticky vs. Step Power tools allow us to expand our thinking, question our beliefs and mindsets, and generate new learning. Clifton’s moving poem reminds us that, like a river, we are constantly churning and flowing toward our goal. Because we are creatures capable of learning, growing, and becoming, our thoughts, beliefs, and prior experiences tell us, but do not fully explain us. Personal learning is an invitation to learn about yourself or others in a whole new light when using these power tools. As you use them, take the time to read, apply, and reflect.

Power of the Pause: Turning Time Forward

A Research Paper By Maya Dreifus
Career Coach, UNITED STATES

There is little doubt that pausing generates space, according to the research mentioned. It creates opportunities for meaningful outcomes that were not possible when the limbic system was in charge. Pausing gives you the space and time to reconsider your decision. One in which we will not look back and wish we could go back in time. “Sometimes you need to press pause to let everything soak in,” says Sebastian Vettel, a German motorsport racing driver. So, the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed, pressured, or as if you have too much on your plate…pause.

PULSE

A Coaching Model By Leslie Ford
Education Coach, UNITED STATES

The PULSE model incorporates design thinking principles to produce a tool that allows managers and those seeking leadership positions to improve their skills while addressing real-world problems in their school or district. Practical thinkers are those who manage people, chair or sit on committees or sit with decision-makers. They are looking for a method or system that will allow them to think through multi-layer challenges with stakeholders with different agendas while working with a limited number of people, time, place, and money to achieve a desired amount of change. Succeeding the implementation of this Developmental Coaching paradigm, PULSE recognizes both the immediate need for efficiency and incorporates double-loop learning through a regular reflection.

The Significance of Learning Style in Coaching Effectiveness

A Research Paper By Olayide Odediran
Transformation Coach, NIGERIA

Clients want to make sure that coaching is as successful as possible, as it is becoming a more important aspect of performance enhancement. Many people try to preserve this interest by hiring coaches who meet particular criteria. Companies, for example, are more willing to hire a coach who has earned the ICF accreditation. They believe that the rigor of ICF training and its ongoing professional standards will secure the best possible results. However, it is important to note that other aspects, in addition to coaching structure, ethics, and competencies, play a role in the effectiveness of the coaching relationship. One of these is the coach’s and client’s learning styles.

Coaching for Workplace Resilience

2022/06/03

A Research Paper By Anja Haman
Performance Coach, CANADA

Resilience may be developed, and coaching can help people become more aware of their responses to adversity and develop the skills they need to cope with adversity at work. Individuals who develop a diverse range of tools over time are more robust in a variety of situations. Coaching can also help the person by ensuring that their environment is controlled in a way that allows them to be resilient: ensuring that they have a social support system, time to recharge, and a strong inner compass with clear purpose and values. Because context matters, the potential of teams and organizations to enhance individual resilience should be further explored.

The essential difference between Daydreaming vs. Designing is process and action. The finest blue-sky designers are big daydreamers, but there are design thinking procedures that can help you filter and channel the energy from the early stages of design to ensure that the end result is well-designed.
