Dani’s Approach to Coaching
In my last blog post, I outlined my view of coaching as it relates to empowering clients who want to organize time and priorities. Now, I would like to provide an overview of my approach to coaching. I like to think of coaching as a journey where everyone gets to decide which direction is right for them.
This journey is all about doing what is important at this moment in time. When I am exploring possibilities with a client, we look at needs, values, and what will help someone be the best version of themselves to ensure they can thrive.
By bringing clarity and focus to daily life, it is easier to enjoy the journey. It is my hope that clients can realize that they are able to stop and take in all the sights and sounds along the way but can still be moving in the right direction to reach a desired destination.
My 5-C Approach consists of being curious, finding clarity, creating a path, feeling calm and in control, and having confidence to take the next step. Below is a brief introduction about my approach.
If you are a client, Dani’s approach to coaching would include:
CURIOSITY → It all starts with being curious! Together, we will embark on a journey to figure out what your needs, values and strengths are. From there, we are able to gain a better understanding of where you are and where you want to be. You may have a specific goal or intention in mind, but after a little exploration you may see things in a different way or you may want to take a different path than you originally anticipated taking. The key is to inspire that spark of curiosity and sense of adventure - you just don’t know what you may find!
CLARITY → For many of us, the path from point A to point B is not always a straight line. In fact, it would be boring if every path we traveled were straight and there were no twists and turns or challenges or opportunities along the way. As a partner in your journey, I like to help you find a clear path - but that may require some time and dedication on your part. This may mean digging around and navigating the best path to take. It may also require some experimentation to find out what path will lead you to a dead end and what path will lead you to your destination. Once you know the right path, it becomes clear how to move forward.
CREATION → When you are creating a path and continuing to move forward you can start to look at new perspectives and see things in a different light. This way, you are able to get excited about continuing on your journey and what lies ahead. Ultimately, you are creating a clear path for your journey. One that allows you to move forward towards your goals and intentions in a way that is fulfilling and joyful - you can then start to see what it means to enjoy the journey and not just think about getting to the destination. You are also in tune with your resourcefulness and understand that you do have the strengths and abilities to create something that is meant just for YOU. Not anyone else!
CALM → Knowing that your time and energy is being used to create the journey you want to experience will help cultivate a sense of calm and the feeling of being in control of where you are heading. You get unstuck from that rut or get detangled from all of the clutter in the way. Going on this adventure requires a certain level of clear thinking. Creating that calmness helps you get through all those valleys and peaks along the way so you can keep moving.
CONFIDENCE → Whether at the start, middle or end of the journey there comes a time when it is important to know that the decisions you make are the best decisions for YOU and YOUR circumstances. You have the capability and creativity to choose the right path and make it YOUR path - not the path other people want you to take. You have the answers within and know yourself better than anyone else. You can gain the confidence to keep learning, growing and moving in the right direction.
Through the coaching process, you gain the confidence to be curious, find clarity, create your own path and do so while staying calm and in control as you keep moving forward.
