Coaching Model
The Coaching Model used is the "PREPARE FOR GROWTH" Model
There are three important parts to coaching:
-
The Coach
-
The Client
-
The Growth Process
The Coach must PREPARE to create the appropriate environment for coaching:
Presence - the Coach must be present at all times during the coaching session
Respect - the Coach must have respect for the Client they are coaching
Ease - the Coach needs to put their Client at ease and create a safe space
Person-Centered - the Coach allows the Client to "Drive the Bus"
Awareness - the Coach helps to create awareness within the Client
Relationship - the Coach works on creating a trusting collaborative relationship with the Client
Explore - the Coach helps the Client explore possibilities
The Client must Focus On the Reason and meaning behind the change they want to make. When the Client has a clear "Why?", it provides motivation and courage that is needed to move forward in the face of fears (of the unknown, of failure, of loss, of change).
In order to move forward, the Client partners with the Coach in the GROWTH Process, which is best explained in the form of questions:
Goals - What do you need to achieve?
Reality - What is happening now?
Options - What could you do?
Will - What will you do?
Tactics - How and when will you do it?
Habits - How will you sustain your success?
The result of the GROWTH Process is SUCCESS which is celebrated by the Coach and the Client!
