Coaching Model

Journey to Find Your Authentic Self

This coaching model is designed to take the client on a journey to

discover their authentic self. It is easy to become enmeshed with

others and have them impose their values and beliefs on us before we

realize it we are living someone else’s dream.

We may find it difficult to speak our truth or express our wants and

needs without feeling guilt and shame. We can feel overly responsible

for other people’s feelings. We can neglect ourselves by not setting

boundaries. We may set unrealistic goals for ourselves in order to

please others. We lose ourselves in relationships. Our lives become

unbalanced.

I invite you to get on board, unload your excess baggage and together

we will Explore and Assess your needs, your values and underlying

beliefs. We will examine any Automatic Underlying Commitments that

may be preventing you from being who you want to be. In the

discovery process we will focus on your assets not your liabilities. We

will examine your past achievements and successes. As your coach I

will be your accountability partner and together we will experience the

journey of a lifetime. Questions to think about where I am right now:

1. Are my values and beliefs aligned with who I say I am? What are

they? Are my beliefs empowering me or disempowering me?

2. Are there new behaviors that I would like to practice that can be

helpful in becoming more authentic? What are those behaviors?

3. What am I committed to? Is that actually showing up in my life?

The next step is Awareness. As your coach I will ask powerful

questions to raise your awareness, when you first become aware of a

situation or a problem, you may react with fear or anxiety. Awareness

is the first step towards positive change and growth. It’s the first step

toward the future. Awareness is how life gets our attention and

prepares us for change. Questions to raise awareness:

1. Can I make an honest list of my assets?

2. What do I have to be grateful for in my life today?

3. Do I know where others end and I begin?

4. Do I accept unacceptable behavior?

Then comes Acceptance. Acceptance is the magic that makes our

present circumstances good. It brings peace and contentment and

opens the door to growth, change and moving forward. It shines the

light of positive energy on all that we are.

1. Am I willing to take a personal daily inventory of my actions in

order to see my progress and accept where I am?

2. Can I accept that this is an inner change that is needed and if

others are the problem there is no solution?

3. Can I see that the more secure I feel the more risk I take?

Actions. In order to move forward what are the goals the client needs

to attain in order to effect positive change.

1. Direct communication: helps the client state their needs and

wants clearly.

2. Setting boundaries: empowers the client in letting others know

what is acceptable or not to them. Healthy boundaries can

protect us they can be flexible and changeable unlike walls that

are rigid.

3. Learning to negotiate conflict: helps the client to move forward

as their fear of conflict prevents them from saying what they are

thinking or feeling. Not speaking our truth inevitably leads to

resentments.

4. Keep the focus on yourself. We can focus on others in order not

to look at what may be going on with us. We are only able to

change ourselves.

The end result would be freedom to be oneself, to speak one’s truth to

feel a new confidence to pursue one’s dreams and to feel fulfilled.
