Coaching Model: ESSE -

A Coaching Model Created by Chuen Chuen Yeo
(Women Empowerment Coach, SINGAPORE)

Esse

Noun, latin

1. being; existence

The basis of my coaching model is the belief that all clients can attain a state of empowerment and fulfillment. The key to the optimal state is to uncover what is important to them, why it is important. Once there is awareness, clients can take proactive steps to align their lives to coincide with what is important to them. I believe modern women in the 21st century especially need to uncover their esse and create a transformative force led by women leaders in the future.

There are four steps in this coaching model.

The concept of having converging lens to converge light rays is a concept that many can relate with. The first stage, to experience anew, is where the client reconstructs past experiences in the mind and creates awareness about feelings, thoughts and beliefs about these experiences.

The change in colour of the lens represents a change in the way the past is interpreted, new understanding and discovery about herself and how she interacts with the world. The chaos is simplified into one focal point, a leverage, such that if it is begin addressed, it sets things in motion for positive changes.

The third stage, a strategy arises. How will the client now position herself and take action? Not only will she create her own strategy, she designs it with her values, beliefs and circumstances as guiding principles. She is truly in her being.

The final stage is empowerment. With a powerful and effective strategy, the client is now enabled, empowered to be the leader in her life.
