No Single Model with Kathy Munoz

 Part 1) 1/8/2012  9pm 

The model we create has to:
- reflect ICF core competencies
- flexible
- work with the needs of the clients

By having a clear model, clients will know what to expect and be able to determine if our way of coaching will work well for them (directive? gradual steps?).

BELIEFS & VALUES ->SELF-AWARENESS->ACTION=CHANGE

Values must be identified before a model can be made.

Parts of a model:

1. Identifying the Client’s Values/Goals:

-         Am I hearing you right?

-         Active Listening

-         Underlying beliefs

2. Exploring Options:

-         Provide Information from websites, readings, assessment

3. Checking–in:

-         Is the client moving forward?

-         Are the actions in alignment with goals and values?

-         Timeline, is client on course?

-         What are you taking away? What did you learn from today?

-         Celebrate achievements

 

Process:

1. Identify the problem/issues
2. Need for change, why?
3. Self-awareness, power to change, motivations
4. Values/beliefs, aligned with mission statement?
5. Application, learning

Skills used in Identifying the Situation:

How long will you be working with a client? It differs. 12 weeks sometimes, 6 weeks other times, sometimes on going

Google: Coaching Models (some use graphic designs to show models)

Model helps you structure the coaching session

1. You tell them about yourself
2. They tell you about why they came to get coaching
3. You provide a summary (“You are looking to…” “You are worried about…”)
4. What do you want to focus on of the things you mentioned in the summary? What do you want to accomplish by the end of the next 6/12 weeks? Prioritize. Hold the client accountable to accomplish what they want to accomplish. “How does this…affect your goal of…” “Are you sticking to your original target goal?” This provides structure and accountability.
5. Client identifies solution.
6. Check-in: What do you want to want client to walk away with? What did you take away?
