The Use of Creative Tools in Coaching

2021/11/30

A Research Paper By Tiffany Purn
Career Coach, UNITED STATES

For this assignment, I first intended to do a research review on The Use of Creative Tools in Coaching. Although I did find some research (see references below), I found that there are relatively few studies related to the field of coaching, especially. So, I decided to take an interdisciplinary approach and to interview someone who’s studied art and creative practices and to ask her about her experience with these tools and what might — and might not — translate to coaching.

2021/11/26

A Research Paper By Rana Al Jamal
Growth Mindset Coach, PALESTINE

Nowadays, people from all over the world are constantly migrating from their original country to another country for various reasons; political, social, and/or economic. Some people moved voluntarily, while others were unfortunately forced to leave to survive. In both cases, people need to find an adaptation mechanism to survive. In this research paper How Growth Mindset Coaching Can Help to Adapt and Integrate Within Different Cultures, my focus will be on how coaching can help people adapt and integrate into different cultures. According to many researchers, people go through four stages while reallocating, which is called the “culture shock”; (honeymoon, negotiation, adjustment, and adaptation).

Energy Creativity: Approaching Creativity From an Energetic Standpoint

2021/11/19

A Research Paper By Kait Gallagher
Creativity Coach, UNITES STATES

The process of unlocking one’s energy to allow more creativity is not easy. The constant demands of life and societal expectations leave little room to observe oneself, one’s energy, and understand how it is blocked. Not only that, but we often need, once awareness comes, to shift to another way of working and living to respect our energy. It is an ever-evolving process that will kick up a lot of emotion and thought-work. This is where coaching around Energy Creativity comes in.

Human Energy

2021/11/04

A Research Paper By Goran Gakidev
Leadership Coach, MACEDONIA

The topic of this short article is Energy. Think about it, energy can be found everywhere, and its impact is real. The universe and everything in it is made up of atoms, and the atomic part is made up of energy. Thus, we should not be alarmed to learn that the form or shape of energy we transmit, and encounter, shapes our lives on multiple levels. We have the rights as much as we have a responsibility to discover as much as we can about human energy transmission and how it may be exploited for the better good.

EVUCA – Supporting Individuals to Find Their Ways

2021/11/04

A Coaching Model By Goran Gakidev
Leadership Coach, MACEDONIA

Because I am a leader, you can also be called an executive coach. My most recent job is to help individuals and groups in the organization expand/deepen their awareness. This will motivate them to step out of the compliance zone, and the only way to do so is to be open to the opportunities and challenges that come. There are a lot of questions coming from my coaching clients such as: am I ready for that role or for that change. Coming from such questions and also the experience in the coaching space, the coaching model of EVUCA is helping or supporting everyone to find their own ways of dealing with the situation that they are in. And this idea is what I mean with EVUCA

Building Momentum for Change

2021/10/29

A Research Paper By Ioana Domnica Grigore
Business Coach, ROMANIA

Momentum is generally used to describe increasing forward motion. A boulder rolling down a hill gains momentum. Momentum implies that, like a boulder rolling down a hill, something with momentum will continue moving forward on its own. As we all already know, coaching is not about the coach, but about the client. Of course, the coach will be committed to supporting the client’s journey through changes, but the client needs to be aware of several tips and tricks for daily use. These tips and tricks will help keep the momentum, even when the coach is not present.
