My Coaching Model - 360analyse

360analyse1 – the name of my Coaching practice.

The name was chosen as I take my clients on a

journey to examine their entire current life. It is

crucial to have a clear understanding from which point the coachee operates before

he/she chooses the direction of their desire.

The model I use as a starting point of the Coaching journey is by taking a 'Helicopter

View' and examining the personal Wheel-of-Life2 with my Client.

1 360analyse – the name has also been chosen as the word 'analyse' exists in an English as well as German language setting. In English it is a Verb, whereas in German it is known as the noun like 'Analysis'.

2 'Wheel-of-life' developed by the Coaches Training Institute

The Wheel-of-Life has previously existed in many forms and for many years, yet it

proves to be a simple and effective way as an entry point into a successful Coaching

journey. The Wheel-of-Life forms the central 'heart' of my Coaching model.

What makes this tool MY COACHING MODEL is the manner in which I take this

“Snapshot” of my client and turn it into an “Ongoing Coaching experience”.

The central question for my Coaching Model is: In what ways can you improve?

At present my clients and I do this exercise using paper and pen written method. The

future development and outlook will be as follow: A Mobile Coaching App (MCA) will

be provided to each client and will on a daily basis serve as a compass, where the

valued individual navigates their life in their desired direction.

The founding idea this is based on is: one of the most common reason why people

are looking for Coaches is because far too often people neglect one area in their life

for far too long, until a person has a problem or hits the iceberg.

The Mobile Coaching App will remind the client on a daily basis to think up a small

action step in each area of their life. For example the 8 action steps that I thought off

today form the following to-do-list for myself:

Work/Career: Send out email to potential client

Money/Wealth: File expenses on Mobile App

Family&Friends: Call my grandma

Love/Romance: Make my partner a sandwich with love note

Contribution: Find 1 person today who I can genuinely help

Personal Growth: Mandarin class

Health & Wellness: My morning run

Physical Environment:Change pot plants

(The Mobile Coaching Application may include an “Inspire Me” button for each

category to provide a creative helpful thought when the client is unable to

immediately identify an action step on their own.)

Trying this tool in a non-technology environment has made all the difference in my

life and those of my clients as they repeatedly reported it was the difference between

feeling overwhelm and having focus or clarity!

The success behind this idea:

This apparently simply idea works as it follows the Kaizen principle: “The journey of a

thousand miles begins with a single step" – Kaizen is the art of making great and

lasting change through small, steady increments.

One might not be able to achieve every day all eight tasks – but that is not the

objective. As long as each category is consciously touched at least once a week – the

client will experience tremendous improvements in the way he/she perceives the

world.

Starting Point Newly created reality t

According to the idea of Dr Jane McGonigal, the Coachee will furthermore learn that

his/her daily activities are helping him/her to build and develop crucial resilience.

Resilience is the capacity of a system to continually change and adapt. Traumatized

people are called to build up this inner growth, however this is not exclusive to a

traumatic situation or event. In life everyone is presented with the call for resilience

on a daily basis. Through self-awareness and exercising the resilience-muscle we can

also create a resilient self by ensuring the daily activities (8 small action steps) that

we are doing fall into one of the following 4 categories:

Intellectual Resilience: Moving from the mental model one is comfortable with

and trying different viewpoints and new ways of

thinking. In other words broadening one's perspective.

Physical Resilience: This resilience is two-fold: First one is one's ability to

improve well-being in response to illness, accidents or

age-related changes.

Secondly is an improved well-being based on external

circumstances like a physical house move.

Emotional Resilience: Building a strong foundation to handle stress and turmoil

that is a result of a negative relationship interaction.

Social Resilience: Core to social resilience is an inclusion of diverse others,

an attentive acceptance of others and mutual caring

respect for others by being responsive.

In these 4 areas it means facing life's difficulties with courage and patience; refusing

to give up.

These 4 areas paired with a continuous small-change effort TOGETHER with a solid

personal and trusting Coaching relationship is the foundation to my client's success.

My Formula:

8 daily small action steps

+ resilience(s) check

+ trusting Coaching relationship

= My Client's success
