What I Learned From Theory of Constructed Emotions

A Research Paper By Jennifer Topinka
Leadership Coach, UNITED STATES

In my coaching evaluation (observed coaching), I received feedback that I missed opportunities to explore the client’s emotions despite asking “how are you feeling?”. In this research paper, I set out to study emotions so that I could be more fluent and articulate while addressing emotions, feelings, and thoughts – both as a client and a coach. This idea led me to an unexpected journey to a new theory on emotions, specifically the “constructed emotion” view. I’ve based my research paper on almost all of my learning from How Emotions are Made, by Lisa Feldman Barrett.

Rigidity vs. Agility

A Coaching Power Tool By Jennifer Topinka
Leadership Coach, UNITED STATES

Rigidity is a mindset where we are grasping and attached to a certain idea. Rigidity is the lack of seeing possibility, options, and gray space. Agility is about seeing a range of possibilities, holding multiple perspectives, and accepting “gray space.” An agile mindset is flexible, willing to change, and stretch. In coaching, clients can arrive at a coaching session “stuck” in a rigid mindset or perspective. How a coach can contribute to transforming rigidity vs. agility?

Leadership Coach, UNITED STATES

The SHIFT coaching model is a framework to support the client in transforming their mindset, perspectives, and thoughts. The model emphasizes the process of facilitating and identifying changes, enabling customers to break through their current stories and beliefs and move towards the results they want. The importance of shifts is reflected in the new ICF competencies that focus on the transformation of thought, facilitating growth, and evoking awareness.

Coaching Case Study By Juliana Landmann

Coaching Career Women can help change their minds, get rid of the underlying beliefs that put them in trouble, and allow them to re-recognize themselves and their potential. It can be a catalyst for a positive change and can offer these women the opportunity to step back and re-evaluate what activity or career they want to have to be able to live fulfilling lives that give them energy on top of being the best role models for their family.

The Narrative – Are You the Author of Your Story?

A Coaching Model By Juliana Landmann
Transition Coach, SWITZERLAND

The narrative coaching model takes into account that all of us, regardless of age, culture, or gender, will create a narrative about ourselves. These narratives are influenced by our experiences, family, culture, friends, education, and everything around us. These things shape who we are and how we view ourselves and the world.

Guilt vs. Acceptance

A Coaching Power Tool By Juliana Landmann
Transition Coach, SWITZERLAND

As a career transition coach for mothers who took a family break, I have noticed Guilt vs. Acceptance showing up as a problem that is making nearly every single client feel stuck. Coaching gives these women the opportunity to first become aware of what they feel guilty about and then to be able to shift their perspective to a place of acceptance instead. We can help our clients shift from a perspective of guilt into one of acceptance by helping them cultivate self-compassion, become aware and let go of approval-seeking behaviors and learn how to forgive themselves for all the imperfections they have.

The raison d’etre of the INSPIRE model is to allow clients a safe and trusted space to get unstuck from worries and stress, gain new tools, start thinking “outside” the realm of what they are used to, allow new perspectives to emerge, and allow clients to be the best version of themselves.

Confidence vs. Self Doubt

A Coaching Power Tool By Camilla Born
Success Coach, HONG KONG

So how can we switch or change our perspective from a thinking pattern of self-doubt to that of self-confidence? We all have our inner critics or self-saboteurs. This idea leads to a lack of confidence, as over time we start to believe these negative thoughts or voices in our heads. We become convinced that this voice is true and start to act on this information. This self-doubt can lead to avoidance, procrastination, fear of failure, fear of being judged, fear of rejection, and feelings of overwhelm. This self-doubt also leads to the need to compare ourselves to others. This article Confidence vs. Self Doubt aims to outline some strategies for building confidence outside of a coaching session.

Visualization – What Can It Mean? What Is Behind It and What Is Common of Most Visualization Techniques

A Research Paper By Bettina Salzmann
Life Coach, FRANCE

The word “Visualization” evokes a lot for me. “I’m a visual person,” a lot of people saying this – me too by the way. As I’m not so good to express myself in words, I like to help me in visualizing what I’m talking about… charts, pictures, scribbles, … If I must plan things, I need a timeline put on paper to make it clear on what to do when, seeing dependencies, and so on. If I have something visualized, everything will become clearer for me. Besides, I can measure how far I have gone.
