Achieving any goal innately taps into either a person’s Passions vs. Talents. Talent, or skill, is measured and can be tested. They are something that can be nurtured and invested in with time and patience. Passions are less malleable than Talents and while Passions change over time, it requires environmental support as well as time to allow Passions to form and grow. Passions are a Key Bridge towards Talent gaps. If someone has the Passion for an area but lacks the key Talents, it can become a motivator and a focal point to help grow and embed the Talents.

Momentum is a pervasive phenomenon. It plays a big part in everyday human interaction and is a real aspect of coaching, traversing coaching sessions, and more importantly inside a coaching session. This research Momentum in Coaching has defined three different types of momentum; positive, negative, and the concept of false momentum. The three phases of the life cycle of momentum have been described, namely: triggering, awareness of its existence, and the harnessing (of the positive type) or repressing (of the negative type) of momentum.

This power tool Deception vs. Honesty is more about the uncovering of this ‘deception’ that is holding back the client. Deception puts a cloak around a client’s thinking and if the coaching session can unveil that cloak, the road of opportunity opens up in front of the client. Coaches are the ideal medium for discovering this and enabling clients to truly reflect on their beliefs and values. This power tool Deception vs. Honesty focuses on the delays necessary to expose possible deceptions and get clients to the point where honest reflection can occur.

As I unearth new insights and gain more experience as a coach, this model Be Heard will continue to develop and grow. But at this point, it represents my coaching pillar, and it allows this really powerful engagement between the client and the coach. At its most basic, ‘coaching’ provides a safe environment that allows a client to be listened to. To be heard, not to be judged.
