Coaching

Coaching is an ongoing relationship between coach and client that focuses on the client taking action to transform their vision, goals, and desires into reality. 

It is a process of inquiry and personal discovery that supports the client in increasing their self-awareness, improving their learning and performance, and enhancing their quality of life by providing the client with insight, experiences, opportunities, and structure to awaken their own power within and succeed moving forward.

Adler Coaching Model

Coaching is a way to create change that will lead to a desired outcome. It is an opportunity to increase awareness, design action steps, plan and set goals, and manage progress and accountability. Coaching is about being creative, resourceful, and whole. It guides you to identify:

  • Issue and Insight – What’s up? What do you want?
  • Choice and Commitment – What are your choices? What do you commit to?
  • Action and Accountability – What’s next? How will you be held accountable?

Adler Coaching Model

Outer layer represents the goals of coaching. Goals for change fall into three categories: Performance, Learning, and Fulfillment. These are each inter-related where fulfillment provides the basic motivation for performance and learning goals.

The inner layer represents the conditions in the client that are linked to positive change. A coach facilitates change through working with three basic conditions in you, the client including: Awareness, Choice, Trust in Essential Self. As a client, you gain greater awareness in yourself and your world, will expand your choices for effective action, and develop your self-trust and in turn move forward with your intention. You will start to take more effective actions that will lead you toward achieving your goals.

The middle layer represents how coaching contributes to forward movement and the creation of desired results. A coach enhances awareness, expands choice, and builds self-trust over time through: Conversation, Relationship, and Process. Conversation is the key medium for coaching, with relationship and process which supports effective conversations.

  • What if you have the power within to change your career, relationships, health, and spirituality in positive ways?
  • What if coaching will provide you with possibilities that you haven’t dreamed of, yet are waiting for you to embrace?
  • How much better can it get?
  • What else is possible?

The Executive Coach is the sounding board who asks empowering questions that supports business leaders in exploring issues that may be stunting their growth and discovering solutions to work through and past those challenges. The leader will raise their awareness and improve their skills around what makes people tick, building trust in relationships, dealing with change, managing conflict constructively, improving communication skills, leadership competencies, and balancing work and personal life. The leader is held accountable for their goals and what’s best for the organization. The leader is able to work through challenging times and is held accountable by the coach to at least meet, if not exceed their goals.
