A Coaching Power Tool Created by Melanie Brown (Retirement Preparation Coach, SWITZERLAND) To hear, one must be silent. Ursula K. Le Guin, 2012 Introduction Silence as a power tool was inspired to me by a peer coaching experience. I was a fairly new ICA student and having my second peer coaching session . My peer client brought a very personal topic to the table: her estranged relationship with her sister. Every time she reflected after answering one of my (many) questions, I was already ready with the next one, rushing in to fill the gaps,  instead of just pausing and giving her the space she needed to reflect on this sensitive and emotionally loaded topic. I wanted to ensure that all PCC markers were covered and most probably also wanted to avoid any awkward silences as I was doing my best to be present, actively listening, and gaining more coaching experience. During the feedback discussion after the session, she rightly pointed out that she had Asian roots, and brought to my at...

The healthiest approach to self-improvement is the one that works best for you—but how can you know which one that will be? Truthfully, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to self-improvement, so you may need to engage in a bit of trial and error to find what is most helpful for your situation. At the same time, effective self-improvement journeys usually have ten basic features that you should keep in mind. 1. Gradual Pace There are no quick fixes when it comes to self-improvement. Focus on self-improvement approaches that involve a gradual change to increase your odds of success. These approaches typically have you focus on one change at a time, and you only move on to the next change when you've become comfortable with the earlier change in your life. Gradual self improvement usually also breaks things down into easier steps, just like in high school or college when you would break down your assignments into more manageable chunks. For example, simply planning to go to...

MirageC/Getty Images Adam ran a $500 million business. The company was on a sharp upward trajectory, the biggest competitor was a distant second, and his board loved him. But there was a problem. Even though his company was performing well, his employees’ productivity seemed sluggish. Designs required countless iterations, development was fraught with delays, and quality assurance found errors on the eve of major product releases. What’s more, four senior executives had left the company in the past year. All publicly said their reasons were career opportunities they couldn’t pass up or family obligations.
