The BRIGHT Coaching Model
Be aware (who are you?)
Start the journey, I would like to invite you to explore together: who you are, why you here, what is your value and beliefs and how do you represent your value, to increase your awareness and have a quality time to really explore and identify it.
Like the iceberg model shown below. We can see the results, the behaviors which are above the surface and are observable, however how those behaviors occur and what really drives the result, which are those invisible elements under surface like your beliefs, values, thinking and emotions.
So to create the awareness on your values and briefs can help you to understand better about yourself.
And actually, our values define, who you are and how you related to the world around you and people in it and how can you understanding your values will help you to find your desire, your passion, your motivation, and actually to create a life that you want.
Reflection (where are you?)
After create awareness and identify your value and life purpose, it is good time to do some reflections on and ask yourself a couple of questions:
- Where are you?
- Do you really live on your values?
- Do the goals you setting or things you are doing routing everyday related and align well with your values
- How do you feel while you think about your daily work or daily life and what are the reasons behind?
- What are the things you feel passionate and what is the alignment with your value and life purpose?
By doing the reflection, it really helps client to open their eyes to look throughout their day, they will see events unfolding and they will see how these events relate to their values.
The most important, to let them reflecting: When we make decisions not based on our values, we either don’t achieve the outcome we want or we feel intuitively not right about our choices. To be successful you must be living your own values and not following someone else.
Imagination (Your future, Your Bright)
Now is time to imaging your future, your vision.
Take a deep breathe, close your eye, relax, get rid of noise and meditate, imaging and visualizing your future, in the long term, what is the desire life looks like for you? What are you doing?
And can you draw the picture down in a paper, and tell yourself, yes, this is the life I want to live and that is my future and that is my bright!
When you say this, how do you feel?
Goal
Great!
You know who you are, where you are and you figure out your bright and you have your desire future and life move forward.
It is time to make it real and make a clear goal toward your bright. Feel exciting?
So what is your goal in short term and long term in order to achieve the life you desired to have and how to make a smooth shifting toward it.
The Goal setting need to follow the SMART rules to make sure it is workable and achievable.
Hesitation
Wait a minute!
Sounds like you still have some hesitations to take actions toward the goal. What’s happen?
It is important to check how you feel after you decide your goal and plan to make changes. If you still feel some hesitation to take actions, what are hesitations? What are the reason behind? Does the goal align well with your values? How to remove those hesitations?
As we said, it’s important that when you select goals, which align well with your values if they are to be successful.
This reflecting process will help you to firm your mind on your decision and remove the hesitations or make adjustment on your goal if you find out it is not align well with your values.
