A Coaching Model By Mirian Kachikwu, Business Coach, NIGERIA

A Coaching Model for Transformation for Professionals

Thousands of professional people know exactly what to do, say, eat, think and feel and may even appear to have all their professional and personal lives covered. Yet, somewhere in there, they still feel like something is either missing or “off”

This is the exact place where the UNLEASH Coaching Model intervenes to drive big transformations for the client that would in turn drive bigger results.

The UNLEASH Coaching Model encapsulates an outcome-focused process and supports the client in clearly setting their goals and making sustained progress towards achieving the life or outcome that they desire.

The UNLEASH Coaching Model

	Uncover the Area That You Want to Work On In starting the coaching session, after a quick opening to establish rapport, it is important for the Coach to clarify, in a friendly, nonjudgmental manner, the purpose for which the Client scheduled the session. It gives the session a focus so that the client can get some clarity and come up with actions with which to move forward. What would you like to work on during our time together? What do you want to bring to our session today?
	Navigate the Insights and Perspectives That Would Nest Your Clear Outcome or End Result The whole point of a coaching session is to obtain a positive outcome that benefits the person and/or their business. Each session must have a clearly defined objective or fairly well-defined positive outcome outlined at the beginning so that the interaction can concentrate on addressing the issues rather than meandering around. The client envisions their desired position and steers through their perspectives and possible insights in order to clearly define their desired outcome for the session. The client refines their desired outcome in order to move from their current position to the desired position with the client on the driver’s seat. What do you want to accomplish during this session? What outcome would you want to leave with after our time together? What will that give you that you don’t have now? How will having that help you make progress? What is the real challenge?
	Lay Out the Measures That Would Signify Accomplishment of Your End Result This can be the exact place where the client is supported to clearly articulate the parameters with which to measure achievement against the desired outcome. Thereafter, the coach aids the client to drive big transformations that would in turn drive bigger results. Such clarity gives the client direction and maximizes the value of the coaching experience for the client. What would signal to you that you have achieved your desired outcome? How would you know when you have accomplished what you wanted? What would that look like to you? How far have you gone with achieving your desired result?
	Elevate the Importance of Meaning of Achieving Your End Result The client’s articulation of the importance of the outcome plays a core role in achieving transformation through setting apt goals and taking critical actions to achieve them. Where the desired outcome is based on the client’s values that determine the importance of their end result, it would guide and drive the client’s commitment and accountability. What makes this important for you at this moment? How does this align with your values/vision/purpose? Whatbenefitwillthis outcome give you? What would be different if you achieved the end result?
	Arrive at Roadblock Eliminating Strategies Toward Achieving Your End Result People usually experience roadblocks – fear, self-doubt, self-rejection, lack of confidence, procrastination, etc. – that act as barriers to achieving their goals. The Client is given time and a safe, ardent, non-judging, and empowering (SANE) space within which they can understand their underlying disempowering perspectives, beliefs, and mindsets. With a system of tools and practices within the SANE space, the Client is enabled to develop ways to make intentional, conscious choices in the moment rather than being controlled by events around them or by their emotions.
	Structure the Actions, Support, and Accountability Systems That Would Ensure Your Success The client is supported to determine concrete actions and establish accountability structures that would transform their lives, make them live their truth and the life of their dreams. The client is empowered to create possibilities where there seemed to be none, their voice, power, and freedom released to ensure their success in achieving their goals and purpose. The Client is thus supported to find the path that feels right and tailored for them, personally or professionally.
	Highlight and Hone Your Learnings and Insights With ardent acknowledgment, feedback, and encouragement, the client will connect with their true motivation and strengths, become more engaged with their action plan, and commit to improving their performance. The client is empowered to build their confidence to deal with current uncertainty and develop their ability to organize and re-prioritize for the future. Ensures that the client sees their goals through to the end and achieves the bold results they desire.
