Strength Based Coaching
Strength Based Coaching in Practice
Strengths based coaching involves working with a client to increase awareness of what they are good at, their natural aptitudes, core values, motivators and preferred learning styles.
By better understanding our strengths and talents coaching can support us to harness them more consciously in creating an environment in which we naturally thrive and are able to perform and function at our best.
Working with a Strength Based Coach can help you to:
-
Identify core character strengths and how to apply these optimally in pursuit of your goals.
-
Identify patterns of thinking which are causing you to overlook or underestimate the resources available to you.
-
Increase awareness of what truly motivates and inspires you.
-
Establish your core personal values and needs.
-
Better understand and develop the structures, environments and habits which allow you to perform at your best.
-
Tailor your coaching goals to your natural aptitudes and preferences.
-
Enhance your sense of mental well-being and functionality.
-
Increase your self-belief in your capacity to achieve your goals.
Strength Based Coaching in Theory
-
A key role of a coach is that of a "strengths finder".
-
Too often we are so preoccupied with addressing our perceived weaknesses that we lose sight of what we are good at.
-
Directing focus deliberately and systematically to what is positive about our clients and using this as a basis for development and change.
