Traffic light

Using the card during the development session

We are at the initial phase of the coaching process, determining the subject of development. In order to pinpoint a truly important theme, it could be beneficial for the client to ask the opinion of close associates. The questions of the Traffic light can help facilitate the stage of collecting feedbacks. This tool can also be useful later on to make particular action plans in the development process.

The model:

This model assists the client to pinpoint what should he continue, optimize and change -based on others' feedbacks and own self-knowledge- in his life in order to get closer to achieve his goals. The present situation needs to be thoroughly analysed so the client can move forward in the direction of the desired condition.
The tool of changing perspective is also recommended at this point when the coach can inquire how the client is being seen by others - their associates, their manager, direct reports, partners or even by their family.

Cards supporting the development process

The symbolic development cards cover basic models used in different steps of the developement process (primarily in coaching),which contribute both to the development of self-knowledge and support the client to further progess towards reaching his goals.

CIA model (control, influence, adapt circles)

With the help of the model the factors which can neither be changed or influenced by us can be identified. It is more sensible to focus on the aspects we can influence, where we have a chance to directly impact the situation.

GROW model

The GROW model is one of the most popular and widely used tool in the personal/business development sector.
This model mainly focuses on problem solving and achieving the desired target, concentrating on the process of finding a solution.

Internal beliefs

When the client defines precisely the achievable goal, he should get conscious about the automatic thoughts which prevents him from changing. After that the automatic thoughts shall be converted into positive enabling thoughts.

Scale

To grasp a subjective measurement, we are using a Scale. The coach card can be easily used throughout the coaching session to express improvement and progress, and also to define trust and belief.

SMART

The acronym - SMART - helps determining the target. The smart objective is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely.

Solution Focused Therapy model

This esentially solution oriented model concentrates on the desired goal. How the client - guided by the development expert - should be able to visualize his objective; also how he should accouter by all the tools and components that will support them in reaching their target.

SWOT

After setting the objective, the model supports the client to prepar a status analysis evaluating their internal resources, what can they expect from their surroundings, the supportive and withholding factors of reaching the desired goal.

The Miracle Question

This model is one of the tools of the Solution Focused Brief Therapy, which concentrates on the desired outcome, how the client, guided by the coach, can visualize the chosen target and also the required attitude and behavior to achieve that.
