Coaching Model: 7E-Empower

2014/08/06

A Coaching Model Created by Akhilesh Chaturvedi
(Executive Coach, INDIA)

1. Introduction

This document describes a coaching process that involves seven steps as a systematic methodology for coaching. This coaching model provides a structured to measure and evaluate coaching results. The model is predominantly created to empower coachee, where coach spends an extensive amount of dedicated time with the cochee to adjust over and above the traditional coaching. Since this model considers 7 Steps (Establish, Evaluate, Envision, Encourage, Execute,  Enable, Empower)and designed to empower  the coachee, it is named as 7E – Empower Coach Model.  These steps simulate the way ICF describes coaching, its partnering process with clients in a thought-provoking and creative style that empowers them to maximize their personal and professional potential.

The EMPOWER model take account of a coachee’s:

  • perception, beliefs and views
  • habits and behaviours which may have yielded results in the past and are no more yielding the desired or expected results
  • false belief  and paradox trap
  • forget to see à in the dynamic world that Coachee  is under constant  and rapid change
  • Emotional status of the coachee – that has created the barrier to move ahead or being trapped, and finally

The experiences and research suggest that above said points contribute to:

i.    stumbling block for coachee

ii.    creating blind spots in turn impacts  the productivity, relationship, effectiveness and outcome

The 7E-empowering model does take into account these behavioral / innate nature / habitual traits and supports the coachee to weed out and replace with traits that supports the coachee to get collaboration and cooperation while relating with others and to get their willful acceptance.

Finally the model empower’ s coachee to become process dependent and coach independent and bring awareness to embed a way of thinking through situations/current reality and adopt the required changes to outshine.

The process of 7E-empowering model is non-threatening, non-judgmental and non-critical and creates an environment of trust and mutual respect for a coachee to share his or her deep emotions, concerns and discover his/her true potential.

2. Coaching Process

The following are the different phases of coaching model as depicted in the picture below:

Coaching involves active communication between the coach, the coaching participant, and in case there is an organization involvement the stakeholders. Therefore, the terms of the coaching contract, engagement and guidelines are agreed upon at the very beginning.

Three things happen at this point:

  • Commitment to discuss the importance of confidentiality in the coaching relationship and assurance to the coaching participant that information shared between coach and coachee will remain private. The coach will sign a confidentiality agreement.
  • Establish commitment from the person who will be coached and from the organization if there is involvement, so that clear guidelines are understood by all parties.
  • Establish most important objectives and specific goals for the coaching relationship and further get an agreement on expectations, timelines, ground rules and alignment of goals and objectives.
