[Power Tool] Resilience vs. Defeat
By: Darlene Schindel
Executive Coach, CANADA
At the fulcrum point of leadership is the essence of your resilient strength. Resilience is your inner strength to take it, your mental strength to react to it, your outer strength to respond to it, and all your strength to recover from it. Jeffrey Gitomer
Resilience Just the sound of the word – resilience – sparkles as it rolls off the tongue. It has energy and enlightenment and feels like a powerful word. For those that demonstrate resilience in how they deal with life’s challenges, this is exactly how they see themselves. Ask yourself this – when faced with life’s challenges, when things go wrong, when your plans don’t fall into place, do you bounce back or do you fall apart? -

[Power Tool] Going Towards vs. Getting Away From
By: Anja Unkel
Executive Coach, GERMANY
There is nothing that creates a future better than a dream: Today it is only utopia, tomorrow it will be reality.
A personal translation of a quote of Viktor Hugo from German into English
Introduction
Have you ever been in a situation where you exactly knew what you are striving for? Clearly picturing what you want and what you are striving for? - How did that feel?
Or do you usually rather know, what you don’t want to have in place or in life anymore, taking that as a starting point for change and development?

[Coaching Model] The Power Play
By: Tiffany Manchester
Executive Coach, UNITED STATES
At the heart of my coaching philosophy is the principle that you are the creator of your own reality, and therefore you have the power to change it. When you take responsibility for your thoughts, words, actions, and habits, the power to create personal change is strengthened as it extends from you, rather than the belief it comes to you. This is the true source for real and lasting transformation! -
[Coaching Model] The Iris
By:Theresa CusterExecutive Coach, UNITED STATES
Why an Iris?
The iris is a beautiful and hardy flower that loves light. During the Middle Ages, irises were used by French monarchy to represent “perfection, light and life.” The delicate flower stands atop of a hardy stem giving it a firm foundation. Another type of iris is a part of the eye. It is the colored disc inside of an eye. The color, texture and patterns of each person’s iris are as unique as a fingerprint. It is responsible for controlling the diameter and size of the pupil and thus the amount of light reaching the retina. -
[Research Paper] Telling, Teaching or Coaching? Personal development through coaching
By:Theresa Custer
Executive Coach, UNITED STATES
Telling, Teaching or Coaching
Personal development through coaching
I have been in the business of managing people for most of my working life, some twenty plus years. A little more than two years ago, I completely changed careers and transitioned to a new role as a leadership coach. I coach leaders at all levels and across a multitude of industries to reinforce the skills and tools they learn in a 12-month leadership training process. I thought this transition would be a slam dunk. I've worked with people for years and always prided myself in being a fairly good manager, establishing relationships and motivating people, so why not coach -

[Coaching Model] Preamble
By: Darlene Schindel
Executive Coach, CANADA
Preamble
"Coaching is a powerful conversation to enable change. Coaching Models support the client, the coach and the coaching process to create this change with awareness".
This quote from the ICA support document on Coaching Models clearly sets out the value for a coach to have a coaching model. It is not surprising that there are millions of possibilities of models for coaches to choose from. The key is that the model a coach uses must align with their own values, beliefs and style as well as niche, to be truly valuable in the coaching process. -
[Research Paper] The Power of Why…..More Than a Three Letter Word
By: Darlene Schindel
Executive Coach, CANADA
Introduction
It’s everywhere, every day, everybody, every job – sadness, fatigue, burnout, frustration, anger, resentment, boredom, lack of engagement, blame, discontent, disappointment, lack of productivity. In general, as a society the problems and challenges we face both in our personal and professional work lives are keeping us from living the life we want, from being happy and feeling fulfilled and charged up about who we are and what we are doing. Some of us may be better off than others, yet in general, we truly are not living to our full potential, in ease, in happiness, joy and abundance. WHY is that? The key may be in that simple three letter word WHY. When you say it, your voice goes up and it becomes not a word but a question.
