The 6 Step Coaching Model

Image
A Coaching Model Created by Eva Gysling (Executive and Business Coach, SWITZERLAND) From finding the root cause to Success If I had only one hour to save the world, I would spend fifty-five minutes defining the problem, and only five minutes finding the solution. — Albert Einstein — Introduction: The solution is hidden in the underlying problem! As Einstein said, it is extremely important to understand the problem well and also to examine it intensively and from different angles. If you find the “true” problem and can name it, it is much easier to find a lasting and exactly fitting solution. The point is to find the deeper problem and not to look for a solution for a “wrong” problem or the cause. The first problem the client mentions is rarely the “true” problem, the one that deeply occupies and bugs the client. In their book “Getting to yes” [1] , Roger Fisher and William Ury write that the key to a long-lasting agreement is f...

Coaching Model: The ‘SENCE’ Making

Image
A Coaching Model Created by Robert Letchford (Leadership and Org Development, Myanmar (Burma)) Introduction During the time that I have been working on my ICA coaching accreditation, I have tried to focus my mind on coaching practice and/or ‘niche’ that I am passionate about and that would add value in my consultations with clients. To that end, I believe that as per the ICA coaching program a structured approach would provide the most benefit to clients that I want to engage with. I want to focus my coaching practice (niche) on working with Leadership and Managers of organizations to assist them to ‘make sense, of the complex working environments within which they work. Leadership and managers of organizations today work in complex and fast-moving environments with little or limited opportunity to reflect and ‘make sense of the situations that they are managing. The Cynefin Framework [1] , which is based on ‘complexity theory’ [2] and ‘systems ...

A Coaching Power Tool Created by Robert Letchford (Leadership and Org Development, Myanmar (Burma)) Then Atlas had a strange thought. Why not put it down?… Let me crawl out from under this world I have made. It doesn’t need me anymore. Strangely, I don’t need it either. I don’t need the weight. Let it go. There are reservations and regrets, but let it go. WINTERSON, J . (2018, pg. 86 & 94) WEIGHT. Published by CANONS. It can be a challenge for individuals or clients to set aside the ‘weight of a situation (the world) in either or both their professional and personal lives. As Janette Winterson wrote about Atlas in her book titled Weight, “ Let me crawl out from under this world I have made. It doesn’t need me anymore…There are reservations and regrets, but let it go ”. What stops clients from ‘crawling’ out from under the world that they have created? Clients are often concerned that if the world (weight of situation...

Coaching – The Right Tool For Enhancing Employee Productivity

Image
Research Paper By Anant Sharma (Executive Coach, INDIA) What is employee productivity and why is this important For any organization, its employees are considered its assets as much as its product or service portfolio. Employees have the potential to both make or break the company they are working for. The company invests in its employees – this can be through salaries, incentives, perks like stock options, etc. What the company is expecting out of this is a positive return on its investment. The more productive employees are the more the company will get in terms of its return on investment. So employee productivity is directly related to the success of a company. And how do we define employee productivity? Employee productivity, also called workplace or workforce productivity, is an assessment of an employee’s or a group of employees’ efficiency. It is evaluated by looking at the total workforce or employee output in a given time. In most cases, the productivity of a...

Understanding Empowered And United People

Research Paper By Andrijana Ilic (Transformational Coach, SWITZERLAND) Intro In the context of the fourth industrial revolution “digitalization”, the way the world is working on VUCA mode (Volatility – Uncertainty – Complexity – Ambiguity) may jeopardize the quality of life of people in our “global village” and can create many questions about the future of humanity. How as coaches can we provide suitable support for individuals to live their lives in another mode which may be: VUCA as Vision, Understanding, Clarity, Agility? This means adopting a more strategic response regarding their current context (1). The idea is to integrate the latest existing knowledge, way of understanding, and opportunities to improve our human intelligence.

Be The Best Person You Can Be

Image
Personal development is primarily concerned with setting and achieving goals for yourself. While you have total freedom in choosing goals, you may want to take available advice into consideration when it comes to reaching your goals effectively. There is a lot of personal development advice out there; this article will give you just a few tips on the process. Generalizations are the enemy of your self-improvement and success. Examine your thought processes to see what negative, general beliefs you hold about yourself. If you say in your mind that you "always fail," etc., this is not accurate. Even if it was only one time, you have succeeded in the past! Remind yourself that the future is bright and self-improvement is possible. If you have a large, seemingly unattainable goal, break it down into smaller tasks. Taking on a huge goal all at once can quickly become overwhelming. Instead, break the goal down into as many small, simple tasks as possible. Then, focus on accomplishi...
