The Re-Frame(work)
ReThink The Way You Think
We are constantly grappling with change – changes we want to make happen, changes we have to make, and changes that are happening to us.

FlipIt is a coaching tool created by ICA for our student and graduate coaches. It is based on the premise that the way we see our world is a choice. The same event can happen to two different people and they will respond in completely different ways. Using the ICA Coaching Power Tools this guided 4 step process helps to move someone from where they are now, to where they want to be.
FlipIt is a simple tool that anyone can use. However, coaches who are skilled and practiced with active listening, evoking awareness and facilitating growth will use it at a deeper level as they work with their clients to identify where or why they are stuck, what they want or need, and how to move forward to achieve their goals. For this reason, The FlipIt framework is incorporated into all ICA programs.
A 4 Step Process
for Change
Step 1: Find It
The first step to any change it to clearly identify the issue or challenge. By using tools such as photos/image cards you can use right brain or intuitive thinking to identify issues that may have been hidden.
Step 2: Feel It
Not everyone is skilled at pinpointing their exact feelings. Using the Feelings and Values cards you can explore how you feel about your issue.
Step 3: Frame It
We all see our issues through our own personal lens. Using the ICA Coaching Power tools you can identify the frame you are using to view your situation or issue.
Step 4: Flip It
The final and most exciting stage of the process is to ‘FLIP’ your Power Tool Card and consider the alternative, and more empowering, perspective. How does your issue change?
Bring Creativity

Shift Thinking

Responsibility
Everyone loves the ‘blame’ game, but FlipIt helps you stand in a new place when looking at your challenges.
