Overview
What is Coaching?
Coaching is comparably a new profession. It blends the best concepts from business, psychology,
philosophy, sports and spirituality. Although coaching combines skills from other disciplines, it is a distinct
process of supporting others to create an ideal life. A coach is a sounding board, an accountability
partner, a truth teller and a supporter. Coaching involves dialogue between a coach and a client with the
aim in mind to help the client obtain a fulfilling life. Through the process of coaching, individuals focus on
the skills and actions needed to successfully produce their personally relevant results.

The client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and
questions as well as concepts and principles which can assist in generating possibilities and identifying
actions. Coaching concentrates on where individuals are now and what they are willing to do to get where
they want to be in the future. Coaches recognize that results are a matter of the individual's, choices and
actions, supported by the coach's efforts and application of coaching skills, approaches and methods.

What Coaching is Not

Coaching is not therapy, counseling, consulting or mentoring. Although the coaching process may have
roots in the field of psychology, the actual process of coaching should not be mistaken for a therapeutic
intervention. The overall differences between these are as follows:

Therapist
A therapist typically works with a dysfunctional person to get them to become functional. Therapists
typically work with people who need help to become emotionally healthy. They often deal with past issues
and how to overcome them. A coach works with a functional person to get them to become exceptional
and does not rely on past issues to achieve growth.

Consultant
A consultant usually is a specialist in a given area. They are hired to give recommendations and provide
solutions. Generally, a consultant doesn’t get involved with areas outside of their specialty. While certain
structure and approaches can be similar to consulting, coaching uses a more holistic approach. The
coach collaborates with the client to create a solution using the client’s knowledge and answers. The
coach does not have to have the answers. They have the questions that allow the client to find their own
answers and clarify their own values.

Counselor
While a counselor provides information and expertise, the relationship is normally hierarchical, perhaps
even authoritarian. It is based in the past and focuses on fixing a problem. A coaching relationship is
present and future based, action-oriented and not hierarchical in nature.

Mentor
Mentoring is a relationship that is established with someone that is an expert in their field. The mentor is
usually older and more experienced than the person being mentored. The mentor imparts their knowledge

and experience while the student seeks guidance and advice. A coaching relationship is a partnership
whereby the coach walks side by side with the client. The coach supports the client in drawing on their
own wisdom and following their inner guidance to achieve their goals.

The Approach
The Change Process and Coaching Model
The process of change is never easy. In the basic process there are common distinct stages, which as an
overview can be summarized into the following phases:
1. Honeymoon
2. Strategic
3. Operational (Initial Learning Zone; Final Quitting Zone)
The unique value of the 4th Dimension Change Coaching Model is that it guarantees, with your
commitment, that the final phases, Goal Attainment and Success Leverage can be reached through
phase anticipation, preparation and tracking. Furthermore, this methodology can empower you to
maximize your personal and professional potential through expanded application as your journey
continues and you leverage off your initial success and lessons.

The Details
Exploring – The Honeymoon Phase
Exploring is about: Understanding your needs and what gives you’re a ‘buzz’; knowing and expanding
your ultimate values and dreams; Developing accurate self awareness of yourself both in terms of your
current ‘as-is’ state and where you would most like to be in the future – in realistic, actionable terms.

Possible Assessments:
• Needs and Value Assessment
• Learning Styles Inventory questionnaire
• Personality platforms such as DISC or MBTI
Useful Frameworks to understand:
• Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
• Dual comparison technique
Critical Success Factor:

Fourth Dimension Change Coaching Page 4

Your vision of yourself in the future can be articulated clearly, accurately and in prioritized terms. Based
on this priority the selection of realistic yet challenging goals can be determined and agreed upon.
Elements to consider:
Where would you like to be in 12 months time in terms of Health? Finance? Marriage/Family? Career?

Planning – The Strategic Phase

Planning is about: Setting up structures, strategies and planning to ensure that you are best positioned to
succeed in your articulated goals through a well prepared action plan.

Possible Assessments/Exercises
• Personality platforms such as DISC or MBTI
• Action Planning for Success exercise
Useful Frameworks to understand:
• MARS Structure and Process
• Prochaska and DiClemente’s Stages of Change Model
Critical Success Factor:
• Select multiple criteria of different categories to track and measure your progress.
• Identify the unspoken, automatic assumptions and challenges that have prevented you from
achieving success in the past.
• Articulate and plan how to leverage off current strengths and how to celebrate wins.
Elements to consider:
When you last experienced success in any area, what elements motivated and drove you? Which didn’t?

Changing – The Operational Phase

Changing is about: just that, putting the strategy into action; tracking and measuring the results;
optimizing the strategy if necessary based on lessons learned.
Useful Concepts to understand:
• NLP principles. To speak, to visualize, to write, to think, to claim change and goal attainment
• The power of a positive attitude.
Critical Success Factor:
• Accept that you will experience both failure and success in this stage – and determine to learn
from both and never to give up. The quitting zone phase occurs often just at the verge of success.
• Use lessons to optimize action plan and methods to ensure continued motivation
