Coaching Model: Potential

A Coaching Model Created by Ciprian Negura
(Life and Career Coach, ROMANIA)

My Purpose: {Supporting achievement of one’s highest potential/”best version”} in career/ life

The Need for Change: {Facing exponential change/VUCA environment? Technological ®Evolution}

Drivers for change:

We face an unprecedented, exponential change of humanity
The pace of change is faster than ever
Most of the jobs are at risk in the face of digital automation
Environments are more Volatile, Unpredictable, Complex and Ambiguous
Technology evolves faster than one can adapt
Singularity became a topic for debate

… Humans Need to #Adapt

Humans have Potential: {Yet unleashing own potential can be daunting for many adults; assistance is required}

Personal/<Self> development (Career –Life) can be really hard for most adults, especially the +40s that find their skills obsolete and irrelevant in the new reality

Discovering one’s Purpose-in-Life is not an easy, straight forward process
Inward Looking –Self-Discovery is not taught in schools
Most trainings focus on Problem Solving and not Strengths –discovery/development
Soft skills gain in importance in the competence mix of the future
Career moves often put pressure on “stretching” one’s Personal Values
Stress is a big enemy of Positive Thinking

Integrated Model: {Mixed coaching –Mentoring assistance, Self-discovery workshops & Tools, Skills of the future}

I am proposing an integrated coaching model targeted at unleashing one’s #Potential/<Self> Discovery

Inward Looking –Self-Discovery
“Strengths –discovery” focused
Personal Values –driven
Positive thinking process
Tools: CBT, AI, Positive thinking, Strength Finder, SIY, …

Potential: The Coaching Model

Purpose
Objectives
Time plan
Explore (self-discovery, strengths discovery)
Nurture / Needs for development
Train (new) “muscles”
Iterate(ions/cycles)/ Innovate
Achievements /Acknowledge progress
Learn(ingpoints)

In each of the proposed model phases the coach provides support to the coachee such as to find the answers to the difficult questions specific to each development phase:

Purpose: assist the coachee in discovering its own Purpose by providing specific tools/focused sessions;
Objectives: support the coachee in selecting the SMART objectives for the coaching journey;
Time plan: agree with the coachee with a specific time plan, targeted at achieving the specific objectives;
Explore (self-discovery, strengths discovery): help the coachee to discover its strengths and true self, resources to be used in the transformational journey;
Nurture/ Needs for development: identify ways to further nurture strengths but also identify needs for further skills/capabilities development (new “muscles”);
Train (new) “muscles”: keep the coachee engaged in the process of developing new “muscles”; alternate coaching sessions with mentoring and guiding the coachee, identify the right training and resources for skills/capabilities development;
Iterate(ions/cycles) / Innovate: coachee applies the newly acquired new skills & capabilities in its real life situations; find new paths and create new opportunities targeted at reaching the objectives;
Achievements /Acknowledge progress: celebrate the successes;
Learn(ingpoints): encourage coachee to reflect on the lessons learnt/learning points from each experience;
