One technique that is often used in coaching is visualization because it is difficult to do this without some kind of image. In this research paper, I explore why a visualization is an effective tool for helping our clients achieve their own goals, and how it opens up a world of possibilities for realizing those aspirations. This research paper only briefly touches on a few applications of visualization in coaching. Also not covered in detail is the vast study that has been conducted on the subject.

Taking an honest look at your current situation, goals, and objectives can be difficult and daunting. A good coach can help you at this point to find the solutions, and you can use this invitation to get in touch with the little person you once were, who is now carrying a magnificent backpack of talents, skills, and experiences that will enable you to design a fulfilling life that has meaning and purpose on your terms. SEEDING is the name of the 6-step coaching method I created. The seed has all the information it needs to grow into a beautiful tree, just like in the natural world. It only has to be planted in rich soil, and with enough attention, it will develop into a powerful tree that will provide the ecosystem and conditions needed for other life to coexist peacefully with its presence.

Visualization is something we all do on a regular basis. We do this most often when we think about future plans and try to project our desires from today to tomorrow. However, I recognize that this is not enough for clients to put their vision into action and be confident that they will succeed.

A Winning Blend Coaching Africans

A Research Paper By Mirian Kachikwu
Business Coach, NIGERIA

Every society is pervaded by culture, with all that it entails, especially in Africa, where each country reflects a diverse range of ethnicities. Coaching Africans are becoming a more significant tool for Africans to deal with the personal and business issues that they face on a daily basis. Consequently, it is impossible to train an African without first understanding his or her cultural background. To effectively coach African clients, coaches must adapt to Western coaching competencies to understand and objectively question the impact on them and how they are identified in life, society, and/or the workplace.

The most crucial step in ending self-rejection is to recognize that you’re doing it and to pay attention to what you’re saying, thinking, and feeling about yourself. Coaches can make a good impact by providing clients with a non-judgmental and empathetic environment to tell their stories and express their desire to be seen and accepted, regardless of their perceived baggage. In that space, Self-Rejection vs. Self-Love benefits clients that can embrace what they have been hiding with love and acceptance, refocusing their attention on the positive. Self-love is a daily practice, not an end. It can be as simple as adjusting your self-talk and expressing compassion to yourself, forgiving yourself for not being perfect, forgiving your parents for not parenting flawlessly, forgiving others who mocked you, and forgiving God for placing you in your tale with faulty parts.

A Coaching Power Tool By Willis Phua
Business Coach, SINGAPORE

Our society has instilled in us a binary picture of Failing vs. Route to Success. When it comes down to it, this fact couldn’t be further from the truth. The path to success is paved with failure. The more failures we have and the more we can learn from them, the better our chances of success become. Success is the culmination of a series of accomplishments. Failures should be discussed in terms of what it means to the person, such as strength, lessons learned, and ideas. Failure is a good thing.
