Coaching from a Strengths Perspective
Why Coaching?
You do not need to ‘change’, you simply need to be better at being you.
Strength Based Coaching is based on the premise that it’s better to draw out what is natural in you, rather than try to ‘top up’ what might be missing. You are unique and valuing that uniqueness is important. It allows you to be intentional when applying your natural talents. Intentionally applying these ideals provides the deep practice that assist in developing your mature Strengths.
Innate Talent + Skills + Knowledge = Strength
We define an innate talent as your natural patterns of thought, emotion and behaviour. Basically, how you think and feel reflects on how you act. Therefore, when we develop our mental and emotional fitness we greatly increase the chances of success. Remember, there are over 33 million combinations of these talent patterns, so you are definitely unique.
Points to Remember
Ask yourself, what am I already doing well and how can I replicate that.
Develop what is going well. Focusing on what you can do is more productive than struggling against what you can’t.
Focusing on Strength does not mean forgetting weakness. Instead it means acknowledging your weaknesses and then managing them in a resourceful way.
Note: A weakness is something that gets in the way of your (or someone else’s) success.
If something is not working, consider how it ‘could’ work. Look at your innate talents, choose the outcome you want and then consider how you can apply what you do well to achieve that outcome. Sometimes this may mean partnering with someone else, other times it may mean applying your talents in a novel way. The key is to be intentionally focused on the outcome.
Remember, every talent theme has an ability, a liability, a power and a vulnerability. When we are in flow, we’re in the penthouse, but when fear, hurt or pride is involved, we may find ourselves in the outhouse.
When working with others, if we want what they ‘bring’, we need to provide what they need.
Mapping Your Success from Raw Talent to Mature Strength
We’re born with raw talent. As we consciously apply knowledge and skills, our raw talents become mature strengths. We develop in character and ability. It is your choice how you plan to use your talents.
Some people choose to do nothing. Their talents remain buried, locked beneath ego, blame and shame.
However, you can choose a different path. You can choose to use your talents key to unlock your Strengths. Add a mindful compass and you have a technique to navigate life’s challenges.
Combining your innate talents with mindful awareness of thoughts and emotions, and an intentional awareness of the language you use, are tools for increasing well-being. You build an understanding of your conscious and unconscious mind that nurtures connection.
Are you ready to strengthen your own mind? Will you be the person who understands your own thoughts, emotions and behaviours?
Daily Intentions
Today is the day you bring all of your learnings together and share them with others. Combine every topic from conscious competence, to focus, to using empowering language, understanding your purpose, developing stronger habits, and how you learn and practice, and tie it all together and share your new knowledge with someone else. Coach. Coach someone you know in each of these topics and strengthen your understanding and embed them into your consciousness. Begin by asking yourself these three questions
Coach with Awareness and Purpose: How will I approach each interaction with intention, aligning my words and actions with my purpose to guide others toward their goals.
Model Empowering Habits and Focus: How will I demonstrate focus, consistency, and empowering language, setting an example that inspires others to develop positive habits and stay committed to their growth.
Learn, Practice, and Share to Elevate Others: How will I continuously learn new coaching techniques, apply them, and share insights to help others unlock their potential and strengthen their confidence.
Reflective Questions
Here are three reflective questions designed for you to assess how you applied, shared, and coached others using your knowledge of awareness, focus, language, purpose, habits, and learning:
- How did I use my knowledge and skills today to guide and support someone else?
- What example did I set through my focus, habits, and language, and how did it impact others?
- How did teaching or coaching someone else deepen my own understanding and growth?
