A Coaching Model By Renae Waneka
Leadership and Business Coach, UNITED STATES

The SOAR coaching model is based on the idea that women have career goals and aspirations, and that in order to achieve these aspirations, they need help overcoming some structural barriers as well as personal habits and behaviors. No matter their position in life or at work, being aware of the importance of the issues they are bringing to the table and how they fit with their internal purpose will help them stay internally oriented and demonstrate the qualities that set them apart. The SOAR Coaching Model helps women use the “purpose to impact” idea to link the challenges they face at work to their sense of purpose. This idea enables them to live a purposeful life and gives them the motivation to create an action plan to achieve their career goals.

The Lack-Of-Confidence vs. Courage Coaching power tool that builds on the premise of reshaping coaching, giving clients a new understanding of their own situation.

With the aid of this powerful coaching tool, a coach may better their client’s self-awareness and give them clarity about their values and future stages in their professions.

Relationships frequently take on a higher priority and value when a person has cancer. According to Northhouse et al. (2010), Coping mechanisms, including seeking social support, can help cancer patients manage emotional distress. Last but not least, a person’s mental wellbeing and quality of life before and after cancer treatment can be influenced by the social setting, such as the support of family and friends, (Kroenke et al., 2006). Having received her stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis in the year 2020, Anne is now undergoing treatment with the help of a full medical and integrated health team.

A Coaching Model By Christos Vasilopoulos
Business Coach, GREECE

A person can use TPL – The Purpose Lotus Model to see themselves and the situation as they actually are, both from the inside out and as a “3rd person” looking on from a distance or from another angle. Once a strong point has been established, one can proceed. The entire goal is to deepen the client’s awareness and understanding to the point where it results in actions that are worthwhile and that the client can uphold. The lotus flower is a potent representation of suffering, especially the pain of going through challenging experiences in order to grow and develop. Where it grows, in the mud, are the trials and tribulations of life. The flower, however, stands in for the elegance and knowledge that can result from these circumstances.

The universal ideas and tried-and-true philosophical systems and methods serve as the foundation for the Reality vs. Illusion power tool’s structure. The purpose of the tool, which is based on this adage, is to increase awareness of the person, their thoughts, and how they see and feel about the topics they wish to investigate. It is not limited by a small number of questions and has many layers. Finding one’s personal purpose may result from it. Combining these three basic ideas gives us the idea of the “power tool,” which can dispel illusions, reveal reality, and reveal a wealth of information and options. Knowing what needs to be addressed can help someone take important actions that they can maintain and keep track of because they now understand where they came from.

Understanding Interdependence in the Thinking Process

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.

A Coaching Model By Giovanna Francesca Golia,
Transformational Coach, ITALY

Keyworld Coaching is a key that allows you to open, close and discover things. It, too, opens our minds, allowing us to let go of what is painful or unnecessary in order to explore with curiosity. Words can convey emotions as well as represent concepts and beliefs. Coaching encourages us to find the right nuances for each word, allowing us to express our true feelings. Everyone has and lives in multiple worlds: the inner and outer worlds; the world of thoughts, actions, and emotions; the present and future worlds. Coaching enables us to outline and shape any world we wish to create and to live according to our desires and needs.

Coaching per Le Neo-Mamme

A Research Paper By Giovanna Francesca Golia
Transformational Coach, ITALY

A prescindere da quanto sia stata facile o complessa la gravidanza e dal fatto che la donna lavori o meno, che sia un top-manager, una studentessa o una casalinga, la maternità porta tutte le donne a fare i conti con quello che definisco come un cambio di stato, da monade a diade, rispetto a cui un percorso di coaching può essere straordinariamente utile per trovare dei riferimenti su cui costruire un mondo nuovo e inesplorato, attraverso una prospettiva generativa, arricchente e capace di creare senso e valore per sé. Ispirandomi al modello del Golden Circle di Simon Sinek, nelle pagine seguenti ho sviluppato una mia personale visione di un approccio di coaching per le neo-mamme, declinato sulle tre dimensioni del WHY, HOW, WHAT, senza alcuna pretesa né di ambizione né di esaustività.

Il tema del Growth by Comfort vs. Growth by Discomfort power tool deriva da una serie di riflessioni legate alla mia esperienza professionale come Senior HR Assessor maturata in tanti anni di lavorocon aziende diverseper lo sviluppo delle competenze di leadership, dai giovani talenti ai senior manager.

A Coaching Power Tool By Elena Scolaro
Business Coach, ITALY

Why Performance vs. Perfection(ism)? The tendency to strive for perfection surfaced several times during this lovely coaching journey. What’s more, I’ve witnessed a lot of coworkers, managers, and friends battle perfectionism in the workplace. Being a perfectionist is generally accepted as a positive trait and nothing to be concerned about. However, it isn’t; if you can’t alter the way you see things, it will drain your energy. To this end, I’ve made the decision to delve deeply into it and offer both my clients and myself a fresh perspective to see our successes as more empowering and satisfying.
