Coaching Model: S-SPARK®

2020/08/24

A Coaching Model Created by Beatriz Peña
(Diversity and Inclusion Coach, Leadership Coach, MEXICO)

A new mindset for Women, Men, and Organizations.

Leadership Coaching Model Beatriz Peña

Introduction

Leadership Coaching Model Beatriz PeñaSPARK is a light that must be turned on to detonate the power of women.

It is a model focused on helping women overcome the barriers that limit their professional and personal development.

It is also a model to help men overcome unconscious bias and limiting beliefs that stop them to support women on their growth or express behaviors that are against equality.

It is a model designed to raise awareness,  cooperation, and growth among men and women, to create more diverse and inclusive companies,  relationships, and finally society.

Without this partnership, the reality of an equal society is not possible.

A model to empower women must empower men as well, to make them feel capable of sustaining a successful woman.

SPARK® supports a holistic perspective of leadership, a woman can be a leader at her home, community, or work, but above all, a woman must be a leader of herself.

SPARK® is intended to help women, men, and companies to adopt a diverse mindset and new behaviors that will make it possible to create a more equal and diverse culture.

Self-awareness

Research has established that one of the main obstacles to creating more diverse and inclusive mindsets have to do with unconscious biases and limiting beliefs.

Many people think about themselves as more inclusive of what they are.

Self-awareness is the main step to accept their own unconscious bias a take and create personal responsibility around them.

Shift the mindset

Shift the mindset, from a bias one to a  conscious one.

Once the right mindset is established, and this is very much connected to understand the value that diversity brings, then it’s possible to embrace change.

Once the unconscious bias are identified and a conscious mindset is established, the most important thing is to define a compelling purpose.

A value-based purpose is energy that persons and organizations need to embrace to feel inspired, aligned, and driven.

SPARK helps clients to bring their values to design a purpose.

Adopting new behaviors

Change can just be expressed and measured by adopting new behaviors and instigate clients to challenge their status quo.

Adopting new behaviors will ensure a change in time and will allow clients to discover the power of creating a more diverse and inclusive culture.

Better  prepared

Leadership Coaching Model Beatriz PeñaToday women are every time better prepared.

  • 50% PHD degrees
  • 57% Master degrees
  • +50% of university degrees

Little participation

Leadership Coaching Model Beatriz PeñaBut they still have little participation in the work environment.

  • In Mexico, only 4 out of 10 women participate in  the labor market.
  • Although they make up 46% of college graduates,  they only hold 37% of entry-level positions.
  • Only 10% of executive committee  positions.

The glass ceiling is still present

Leadership Coaching Model Beatriz Peña

Men:

Odds of moving up from one level to the next only drops from 23% at entry-level to 18% at the senior vice president level.

Women:

Odds drop dramatically

from 21% at entry-level to  3% at senior vice president level.

The story behind the model

My experience coaching women

Leadership Coaching Model Beatriz Peña

Two Stories

What I Heard while giving women therapy  and coaching

Leadership Coaching Model Beatriz PeñaBeing a psychologist and a coach, I have had the opportunity to know the most intimate stories of women, to hear them when they suffer, when they celebrate, when they wish, when they accomplish what they want.

  • Listening to many women  a pattern came to my  observation: A lot of them  where expressing  themselves using a  language of competing  commitments: “this OR  that” my career or my  family”, being lonely or  having a relationship”.
  • There where a lot of  women telling one story  to the world, and to  others, but sometimes, a  completely different one  to themselves
  • I realize that a lot of  women didn’t felt entitled  to enjoy a life with all the  things they wanted,  without feeling guilty or  divided. That they had  “two stories”: one that  they desired to have and  one that they were living,  one in their minds and  one in their actual life's.

THEN I REALIZED THAT THE REASON  I WAS AWARE OT these TWO stories WAS BECAUSE I WAS ALSO  EXPERIENCING MY OWN TWO  STORIES.

As a coach, my observations raised my curiosity…

And my curiosity was transformed into a purpose…

I made the conscious  choice of integrating my self in just “one story”

One in which I could desire to be successful at work, a great mother, and enjoy a  fulfilling and supportive relationship.

Then I committed myself to support women to integrate their two stories into a harmonious symphony.

To empower men to listen carefully to the “two stories” and overcome the unconscious bias that limits them to speak up and develop a more inclusive mindset.

And to uplift organizations to make diversity and inclusion a  strategic priority, and embrace a path to achieve it.

To ignite the SPARK  !!!
