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.

In the majority of people’s lives, there comes a time when they feel that their existing circumstance is no longer beneficial. Sometimes, it’s for apparent reasons, including when their situation has altered or when their career has reached a plateau. The Covid pandemic has made all of this even more clear to so many of us, leading to what is now being referred to as “The Great Resignation,” in which a large number of people are considering leaving their current positions in search of something more meaningful. With the help of an Uncertainty vs. Curiosity power tool coaching, you’ll learn how to explore this new phase of your life with a positive attitude and embark on a new path confident, strong, and ready for action.

The SEEDING

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.

Thinking vs. Feeling

When confronted with a challenge, a problem, a question, or an important decision, we tend to use our minds to come up with solutions to the problem, solve the problem, answer the question, or make the decision. And, in many cases, we rush into our thinking patterns without taking the time to thoroughly understand the situation. My power tool allows you to grow by balancing thinking vs. feeling. You’re in the driver’s seat, and you’re being directed to change your viewpoint.

Commitment & Self-Love as Accelerators for Coaching

A Research Paper By Ziad Hamdan
Life Coach, SPAIN

When I decide to become a coach, I am in complete control of everything that happens to me. What happens next is a result of this decision; there is nothing on the outside that I will not cause to happen. In other words, selecting me as a coach implies that you have also selected me as a customer. We’ve drawn each other in. The coaching connection we’re building won’t be complete unless we both commit to it and show ourselves the self-love we need to let go of whatever has been holding us back in the past and allow ourselves to grow. Commitment & self-love will enable me to let go of my ego and provide the finest service possible to you.

To understand where we want to go, we must first understand where we are now. Surprisingly, despite my doubts about my ambitions, I never considered applying this approach to myself. The difficulty in applying this method to oneself stems from the fact that in our autopilot mode (which, according to the research, accounts for 97 percent of our day), we are muddled by all of our limiting beliefs, daily patterns, and internal saboteurs that have been ingrained in us since childhood, and even further back, from our ancestors. So the first goal of my Heal to Thrive, model, which aims to make YOU thrive, is to assist YOU in healing.

An Exploration of Self-Acceptance: The Application to Coaching

A Research Paper By Jennifer Walker
Life Coach, UNITED STATES

Theology, psychology, sociology, and philosophy have all explored self-acceptance. Since Buddha’s teachings over two thousand years ago, the importance of self-acceptance has been highly debated. Modern psychological theories, therapeutic approaches, and contemporary literature, all contribute to the study of acceptance. Coaching, with its philosophy of assisting clients’ self-awareness and progress, is well-positioned to contribute to these ideas by promoting the value and practice of self-acceptance as it relates to the journey of personal enlightenment and transformation.

How Positive Psychology Can Impact Leadership on Creating a High Contribution Environment

A Research Paper By Francesca Castagnetti

Ms. Maaike Rijken, an extraordinary woman and a seasoned expert in the field of psychology, was the subject of my interview. Maaike created and developed the international Positive Psychology program at the University of Applied Science in Amsterdam, where she has been delivering specific training programs for several years. Positive psychology is concerned with people’s well-being; happiness entails both fulfillment and the ability to be resilient. It’s about feeling energized, fulfilled, and uplifted, all of which are elements of happiness. Being happy can also be achieved by engaging in activities that are normally associated with happiness, such as attending a party, attending a football match for those who are interested, or engaging in any other activity that produces an immediate feeling of enjoyment.

Clients can change from a place of disappointment, self-doubt, and self-criticism to one of satisfaction, compassion, and self-acceptance by using the Power Tool of Expectation vs. Acceptance to assist them to shift from an expectation of what “should” be to an acceptance of what “is.” In a world where we are bombarded with messages and images of success, perfection, and ideals, it is critical to recognize the internalized expectations that may be driving us, both consciously and unconsciously. Coaches are in a unique position to assist clients in letting go of their expectations and limiting beliefs in order to achieve acceptance and growth.

Flowing vs. Winning

A Coaching Power Tool By Francesca Castagnetti

Flowing vs. winning are two topics that I am passionate about. These two very different ways of looking at things have radically changed the way I view my entire existence. The greatest gift that happened to me was the realization that no matter how hard I tried, I was no longer winning. I was falling short (according to my existing beliefs). I recognized at that point that the more I “won,” the more I was losing myself, wandering away from my genuine purpose, values, trust in myself, gifts, and presence, in other words, from my flow.
