Fulfilment: the definition of fulfilment is deeply personal to the coachee and evolves with the coaching relationship, becoming deeper and more meaningful.If the beliefs are the container of the coaching relationship, the heart of the co-active coaching model is made of its three principles: Even if some of the coaching sessions might focus on an action, or behaviour, the coach constantly holds the vision created by the coachee, and connects the current topic with the big picture. Evoke transformation: the coaching conversation happens for a primary and common purpose for the coach and coachee: coachee’s full life. The coach connects with the coachee on many levels and ‘ dances‘ with her, deciding when to intervene, the questions to ask, or how to respond. Dance in the moment: the coaching conversation is happening beyond words, the discovery process happens in subtle tones and gestures changes, in what is not said as much as what is said.Focus on the whole person: co-active coaching is focusing on the wholesome of the person, on their hopes and dreams the co-active coaching is not happening only around solving a problem, reaching an objective, creating a habit, but the coachee will design a bigger picture, to which the coach continuously relates the coachee’s objectives, actions, beliefs.People are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole: the co-active coach is a champion for their coachees, guiding the process of discovery.The co-active cornerstones, or beliefs, describe the mindset that guides the coaching conversation and the coaching relationship, a container that holds the conversation (see Figure 1 below).Ĭo-active coaching supports four main values: Regardless of the tool you’re using, you are doing co-active coaching if you behave in line with the values (or beliefs) and principles supported by the model. What is co-active coaching?Ĭo-active coaching emphasises the relationship between the coach and the coachee, active collaborators working together to improve the coachee’s life. I will close the post with my experience with co-active coaching and why I really love using this model in my Coaching work. This post will look into co-active coaching: I will start with an overview of the values, principles and contexts of co-active coaching then we are going to look into the coaching journey (steps, tools, process) and take a deeper look into the contexts and principles of coaching. Since I started experimenting with Coaching two years ago, I’ve been looking into different methods to approach the coaching conversation to bring the most value to the coachee.Īs a result of my experiments and research, I am writing a series of posts about (1) co-active coaching, (2) the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and (3) coaching with compassion.
