"To understand the human being in all its complexity, we have to start with motivational need systems, the operational code that drives personality. Each of these need systems is operational in every person. Beginning at infancy and continuing throughout the life-cycle, altered by the forces of age, learning, and maturation."
Beliefs are formed and are stored in the brain. Through these beliefs each event is evaluated, categorically stored and retrieved through out our life process. As beliefs change so do our experience of life.
We encourage our clients to discover their own beliefs, and agendas. We believe the client to be creative and effective in generating his or her own strategies and solutions. We hold the client responsible and accountable for what they want to create, what they have created and how it has been incorporated into their life.
Our coaching model uses questions, client story, listening skills to understand the client's experience of an event, action, awareness and beliefs. Through validation, acknowledgement and mirroring feedback and additional questions; we create a platform for evaluation and paradigm shift. The awareness of their belief that is stopping them may assist client, however is not necessary to create a transformation.
We ask powerful questions to find out what the client wants to do with the information discovered. We listen to the client's story; then separate the facts from opinion and gently present the facts to the client. We use our intuition, and understanding of the mind-body connection to ask if the facts are supporting or deterring the client from reaching their stated goal.
If a UAC* is discovered then it is up to the Coach to bring it to the client's field of vision, it is up to the client to choose to look at it.
Through dialog Coach and Client come to an agreement about the purpose of the coaching process. An example of this might be the client would like to have more time for reflection in their life.
The Coach then helps through questioning to discover what is the commitment level of the client.
Through dialog the partnership create an exact understanding of what the obstacles facing the client. Those might be belief to which they have much evidence to substantiate. This is where through visualization, perspective, and utilizing evidential resources to create a paradigm shift for client might be useful.
Create Goal(s)
Create Benchmarks to evaluate client progress.
Action Items incorporated to move client towards their goal.
With each of the above thoughts create time-line for actions to be completed.
Evaluate client progress and commitment stamina.
With each step toward progression acknowledge client for effort, regardless of whether the step is apparent to client as a progressive step or not. It is our stand that failure to achieve benchmark, action item, or goal can be a step forward, if client is willing to learn something about them.
