Episode 7- How to Coach Yourself
Today I am teaching you the main tool we use in coaching, The Model.
It is so simple yet so powerful.
Here is the Model:
Circumstance (neutral fact)
Thought (one thought you have about the Circumstance
Feeling (a one word emotion that the thought creates)
Action ( what do you do or not do when you are feeling this emotion )
Result (what is the result of these actions, will always tie back to the original thought)
Common model probelms:
Not getting the circumstance completely neutral-no adjectives or opinions!
Too many thoughts-just pick one!
A thought that is a question- answer it and put that in your model.
Feeling is a thought-just choose a one word emotion
Action-be careful to keep the action tied to your feeling in this specific circumstance. How are you showing up?
Result is not about you-result is ALWAYS your result.
