The Coaching SpiralWe identify three major areas of focus in coaching Environment, Skills, and Motivation Within the area of motivation there are four interrelated domains Expectations: our beliefs about how successful you will be. Typically we are more motivated to engage in behavior that we believe will result in success. Values: the relative importance we place on behaviors and outcomes. Identity: our sense of who we are and the role/s we play. Purpose: understanding how we have a purpose and how that has a meaningful connection with something greater than ourselves. We can map these domains on the unfolding spiral life, where life is seen as flowing from the Source of our Existence out through the domains. For life to flow the seven domains need to be congruent or aligned. 
Coaching StrategiesDifferent coaching styles or strategies are required for each of the domains. The words in bold at the bottom of each domain describe the coaching strategies for use when seeking to discover and access resources from that domain. The most powerful place to intervene is closest to the Source of Life. Changes made at the Core Purpose or Identity will transform the domains further out, where as making changes in the Environmental or Skills domains will have minimal impact on Identity or sense of Purpose. Environment: Consulting and Advising The coach, relying on their specific expertise, advises people on alternate ways to respond to their environmental demands. Skills: Training and Teaching The coach teaches or trains the person to perform specific behaviors or skills to develop personal competence. Expectations: Imagineering and Inspiring The coach helps the person to use their imagination in role rehearsal or to grow a realistic expectancy of success. Values: Mentoring, Clarifying and Aligning The coach models values and helps people clarify the values that they in turn would like to live by. Identity: Sponsoring and Blessing When a person is acknowledged for who they are, they discover that they exist, have intrinsic worth, and a personal identity. The coach helps by sponsoring or blessing the emerging identity. Purpose: Awakening The coach cannot create nor impose purpose, they can only help people awaken to their purpose or the life that lives within them. This is the work of awakening or soul friending and the coach is often known as a "Soul Friend." >>

Coaching or TherapyWhile the following is a gross over generalization, we can make the distinction between these two types of helping as: Psychotherapy: is about making the bad stuff in a person's life smaller. Coaching: is about making the good stuff in a person's life bigger. >>
More on Coaching or Therapy Coaching PerspectiveFrom a coaching perspective it doesn't really matter why or how you got to where you are, what matters most is knowing where you are, where you want to go next, and how you are going to get there. What Participants SayRob's appreciative coach training helped me to rethink the way I approach and provide
therapy; Thanks!
After 45 years in the pastoral ministry and attending three events led by Rob Voyle, I have finally learned a better way to help church leaders help themselves and the people they serve. Rob's combination of organizational savvy, teaching skills, theological & spiritual integration, and ability to rapidly build supportive, learning communities is quite simply the best in any of
the churches today. Subscribers receive monthly Appreciative Tips and notification of our upcoming training programs. Privacy: We never rent, sell, or share your email.
