Ok, so hear me out. Have you heard of the GROW model? Have you been working with it as I have? Since 2006 when i qualified it served a purpose, gave a framework and here's the recap...
'Goal, Reality, Options, and Will
These structured components work together to create a systematic method for setting goals and solving problems. The four elements of the GROW model are: Goal, Reality, Options, and Will. During the Goal phase, people determine their desired outcomes...'
which to me sounds a little too hustle culture now.
it's been extended. many now are using the GROWTH model - TACTICS and HABITS - again seeming to be hardening.
If you're looking for a softer approach, more empathetic and encouraging you may like what a recent client said of her latest session
"I found it really energising and supportive. I liked having the GROWTH model as a structure – it made things clear and gave a repeatable framework, which felt more helpful than just talking things through. Your empathy came across really well, and the gentle guidance on focusing on the key areas, especially “how will I know,” was really useful.
The biggest insight for me personally was with the affirmations – saying “I matter” literally gave me a physical reaction, but I’ve been repeating it in tricky moments which I think is helping me slowly start to recognise it as true.
Think you’d be great for people like me who have ideas and feel that calling, but need clarity and particularly a bit more confidence in themselves to move forward. Really helpful and inspiring session – I can see it being valuable for others too"
