Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. Leo Tolstoy

Devendra_Bisaria_coaching_model1Definitions

We make choices. No one else can live our lives for us. And we must confront and accept the consequences of our actions. Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol 9

Client’s commitment

  • How cognizant is the client of the reasons for the need to change?
  • How committed is the client to making the changes?

Client

The client’s state of self-awareness is key to this first step of the process. The degree of awareness and cognisance of cause and effect will determine the level of commitment and, indeed, the client’s readiness for coaching as well as coachability.

The awareness is at two levels – the existence of the need for change (usually present since the client is seeking coaching) and the source realisation that triggered it (the client may have become aware of frustrations or limitations in the current life paradigm). However, at a deeper level, the client may or may not be aware of the barriers and limitations inhibiting future paths to higher levels of fulfilment.

Coach

The coach has to test and acknowledge the client’s self-awareness. The next step of the process depends upon this – gauging the client’s level of commitment to the coaching process as well as coachability form the core of the coaching contract.

Applicable Tools and Skills

  • Creating awareness
  • Powerful questioning
  • Non-verbal listening
  • Coaching Agreement

Self-awareness and Reasoning

  • Juxtaposing the currently possible future against what it can be
  • Identify anchors and structures
  • Acknowledge need for change

Client

In this step the client gains a perspective of the current situation and extrapolates that into the future. This future is then overlaid with what other possible future states could look like. In this way the client becomes aware that the current future is being dictated by the present as opposed to its own possibilities.

Once having established the potential, it is not a far step for the client to realise the impediments anchoring the future to the present. Similarly, alignment of goals to values can be revealing and inspiring.

The desired outcome of this stage is the client’s realisation that change is possible.

Coach

Enabling the client to see the link between present and future is the prime focus for the coach in this stage. Visualisation can be a powerful tool in this process as it enables the client to project a different future than what has been so far perceived. It may also help the client to identify their values and goals and see the deviation from their current lives.

Further, the coach has to help the client identify the structures created to perpetuate the status quo and anchor the future to it. Some powerful questions can be very useful here.

Applicable Tools and Skills

  • Powerful questioning
  • Visualisation
  • Values analysis
  • Goal setting
  • A to F analysis (A to C)

The Power of Knowledge

  • Futility of looking at a future that ‘has to be’ as opposed to ‘can be’
  • That the future can be built from now

Client

The most important stage of the process – In the previous step the client realised the impact of the current paradigm on the future – ‘more of the same’. This is the second aspect of the same realisation – that the future can be independent and its possibilities based on desired goals actively sought and values consciously leveraged. It establishes the foundation for the client’s commitment to abandon the ‘Given’ and its support structures.

The link between the future and its building blocks – goals, values, priorities, self-awareness and resolve – are now clear.
