A Coaching Model Created by Rosemarie Demello
(Life Transformational Coach, INDIA)
Six Stages to Authenticity and Self Transformation
Foreword
The inspiration for this coaching model came from my deep desire to live an authentic life. One grounded in following my passions in a way that honors my uniqueness and truth. I believe that connecting with our inner knowing, our truth, naturally inspires us to create, using our in- born talents, gifts and strengths. We find our passions, follow our gifts, build our confidence and follow our purpose, which leads us to living in freedom, satisfaction and joy.
Our authenticity is connecting with that part of us that lights us up, inspires and engages us in life. It’s our passions, strengths and natural abilities. When we are connected to this part of ourselves we feel energized, we ignite our inner spark and are propelled to follow our hearts. We are able to create a life we love. My Coaching Model represents this process of connecting with our authenticity.

Step One:
UNCOVER what it is the client really wants and WHY. The ‘why’ should be in alignment with the clients core values. Through the power of questions, being fully present and active listening I support the client in gaining greater clarity, awareness and recognition as to what it is they want, need and the ‘why’ behind it.
-
Step Two:
NAVIGATE the client through the labyrinth of conscious and unconscious thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs, assumptions, perceptions, interpretations, attitudes, judgments and behaviors. Which are supporting them? Which are limiting them? Which light them up and which drag them down? Which shout truth or which yell lie? The purpose of this step is to give the client greater awareness and clarity, so they can better understand what holds them back and move past it. The purpose is NOT to keep the client stuck in the past.
-
Step Three:
INSIGHT. As the client moves through the coaching process the client is able to gain powerful insights, awareness and clarity which empower them to create a vision which reflects their new found sense of self. This is the stage of deeper self discovery and revelation. The client is able to take inspired action to move past their blocks. Together with the client I co-create an action plan which is achievable and measurable and fully aligned with their values.
-
Step Four:
QUANTIFY: As the coach, I hold an ‘accountability space’ for my client which further supports them in achieving results. I am able to quantify and evaluate client progress and support the client in maintaining focus on what is most important.
-
Step Five:
UNLEASH! As the client gains greater self understanding, self knowledge and self trust they are able to unleash their true self! They are able to fully TRUST and follow their inner guidance; they come into their own space of BEING and creating. This creates a solid foundation in supporting the client in continued growth, forward momentum and anchoring them in their authenticity. They are self empowered and steady; able to go it alone!
-
Step Six:
EVOLVE. As the client continues on their journey of self exploration, awareness, insight and growth they further evolve to greater ways of BEING and DOING, which are fully aligned and grounded in their authenticity. They are now in a place of AUTHENTICITY. Creating consciously, working their passions and living their truth.
