Coaches

The list of cards dedicated to coaches is a visual tool with the basic coaching models that can be used at the different steps of the coaching process. Explaining the principals with the illustrations and the symbols will get the client tuned to the model and adapt them to their own situation.

Based on research, the visual appearance, the harmony of colours and graphics enhance comprehension, recognition and can further increase the active participation in the development process.

As the client assesses and defines their own situation, the space for the notes on the card can connect the models with their individual thoughts making it more personal. When the client keeps the card on their desk or at home, it can be an efficient reminder of the message delivered at the coaching session. They can evoke the thoughts and feelings and reconsider their status compared to their goals. With the positive illustrations, the shape and the quality of the cards, the process of change is turned into a pleasant and exhilarating experience.

Urgent-important matrix

The matrix of - urgent-important - which is often called also as Eisenhower matrix- defines the priorities of the tasks on the base of importance and urgency.

 The idea to measure the 2 competeting taskgroups in 1 matrix was coming from the former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Dr. Stephen Covey: "I have two kinds of problems: the urgent and the important. The urgent are not important, and the important are never urgent." This "Eisenhower Principle" is said to be how he organized his workload and priorities.

No matter how effective we are, sooner or later the number of tasks is surpassing the available time frame.

He recognized that great time management means being effective as well as efficient. In other words, we must spend our time on things that are important and not just the ones that are urgent.
