I\u2019m often asked which coaching model I use in my coaching practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A coaching model is a coaching road map usually outlined by an easy-to-remember acronym. It is a method, structure, outline, or framework that facilitates the set-up and process for a coaching conversation and the overall coaching journey. It helps to provide some consistency to the approach and often serves as a prompt or signpost to protocols, techniques, and variables that can ensure effectiveness and efficiency of the effort. It also is a kind of visual representation of a process that isn\u2019t yet tangible or observable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, since coaching is about the coachee rather than the coach, I find myself working with a model that\u2019s as unique as the coachee and the coaching intervention. (In my years of coaching experience, despite having personal preferences, I\u2019ve seldom worked with exactly the same model twice \u2013 I somehow find the need to integrate elements from various models to develop one that works best for the coachee).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some useful, action based models I draw upon from the multitude of models out there \u2013 they aren\u2019t my own \u2013 but I use them often and interchangeably if necessary, depending on the coachee\u2019s needs and issues, the nature of the coaching assignment, and the client\u2019s expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every coach has a preferred model, and chances are that most experienced coaches eventually work with a unique model they can personally take credit for creating and developing. For me, a coaching model is a lightly held frame that moves with the shifting sands in a coaching session, in order to ensure the effort is as productive and successful as it could possibly be for the client.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
