Progress vs. Perfection

A Coaching Power Tool By Xiuyu Feng
Executive Coach, UNITED STATES

As coaches, we can empower our clients to make positive shifts by bringing the perspective of “Progress vs. Perfection” to what they do and making it easier for them to move forward. We can achieve this through sharing an observation, asking a question, exploring a different point of view, or walking through some extreme scenarios. Help the client to explore the feeling of fear behind the high expectations or procrastination, recognize these feelings, and the underlying beliefs when they come up, and ask questions to help check the reality. This exploration will help the client to break out of the non-fact-based illusions in their mind which prevent them from moving forward.

TGROW x 3C Model A Structure to a Coaching Session

A Coaching Model By Xiuyu Feng
Executive Coach, UNITED STATES

TGROW x 3C is a simple and effective coaching model that enables coaches to provide a structure to a coaching session, helps the client to gain alignment with their three centers of intelligence – head, heart, and body, and empowers the client to achieve their goals. In each coaching session, the coach can leverage the TGROW model to help the client gain clarity around their current situation and their goals, help the client to find options to achieve their goals, and help the client to learn from the process. Use 3C to check how they think, feel, and sense their body to see if the alignment is there.

G.R.E.A.T. Coaching Model for Wellbeing

A Coaching Model By Jasmine Vincent
Executive Coach, SINGAPORE

The G.R.E.A.T. coaching model is inspired by Sir John Whitmore’s “G.R.O.W.” model and the five elements of wellbeing. It is easy to remember and understand, systematic, and can be applied to both personal and professional capacities. It is an effective model for people who want to live their best life and have a measurable way to account for it. As an executive coach, I found this model to be particularly attractive to people driven by the possibilities of their future and are in leadership, sales, and entrepreneurial roles.

Strengths vs. Weaknesses

A Coaching Power Tool By Jasmine Vincent
Executive Coach, SINGAPORE

To achieve excellence, one needs to develop self-awareness of what our greater and lesser talents are and invest in our talents to become strengths. We need to know how our strengths vs. weaknesses manifest in our daily lives, and we need to self-regulate in the areas that hinder our success. By focusing on strengths and managing weaknesses, people can become more efficient, happy, and successful. It’s a way to maximize our potential and reduce the frustration of mediocre progress.

The Role of Curiosity in the Coaching Session – The Coach’s Perspective

A Research Paper By Isabelle Finger
Executive Coach, UNITED STATES

Human beings were blessed with the gift of curiosity (which doesn’t mean that other animals are not curious!) and this phenomenon plays a crucial role in the person’s development and life in general. For the coach, curiosity is one of the key engines of any impactful session. In this research paper, I’m going to focus on a very specific aspect of the first of the “C’s”: the curiosity of the coach in a coaching session. To do this, I’ll look at two main questions: What is curiosity and how can coaches best use it in coaching sessions?

Embrace vs. Tolerate

A Coaching Power Tool By Isabelle Finger
Executive Coach, UNITED STATES

The first step for clients is to understand where they stand on the dichotomy between tolerating suboptimal situations and embracing change and growth. The use of both terms as “power tools” Embrace vs. Tolerate by the coach helps the client reframe their perspective and see their life and their potential through a more empowering perspective. The next step for the client is to leverage this awareness in their life by taking action and by learning. The coach can support this journey by fostering accountability and cultivating learning and growth.

The Phoenix – The Process Fire-Ashes-Rebirth

A Coaching Model By Isabelle Finger
Executive Coach, UNITED STATES

The Phoenix – the eagle-like bird who dies in flames and get reborn from its ashes – is a powerful symbol that continues to inspire writers (e.g., Fawkes, the Phoenix created by J.K Rowling as Dumbledore’s trustee companion) and artists in general across generations and cultures, as well as politicians (e.g., San Francisco added the Phoenix to its flag after the earthquake of 1906 as a symbol of the reconstruction of the city) and marketers. From the very beginning of my journey as a coach, I’ve felt that this symbol helps understand and describe what happens when someone engages in a coaching process.

Psychological Flexibility in Coaching

A Research Paper By Austin Tay
Executive Coach, SINGAPORE

In the context of a coach, a coach can help an individual create this balance. Psychological Flexibility in coaching the coach’s role is not to guide, lead or instruct how people are supposed to think, feel and change their behavior. Instead, the coach’s role is primarily to be the sounding board for people. The coach asks those questions to help individuals have self-awareness or self-realization to see and understand what is stopping them from moving forward. One model that is helpful for individuals to move from a state of stuckness to unstuckness is the Cognitive Triangle.

Rigidity vs. Flexibility

A Coaching Power Tool By Austin Tay
Executive Coach, SINGAPORE

Rigidity vs. Flexibility, – You have choices, humans are smart, and we sometimes make choices that are best for us at a given time. However, not all choices we make will provide the same results. What matters is that when we are making those choices, we need to ask ourselves one basic question – When we are in an unpleasant situation, what choices can carry us through the situation?
