Co-active Coaching, New skills for coaching people toward success
Laura Whitworth
Published 2007
Coaching
- Understand the Co-Active model as a partnership where coach and client are equals, focusing on the client’s whole life rather than just problems.
- Learn core coaching skills—deep listening, powerful questions, acknowledgment, and challenge—to help people access their own resourcefulness.
- Shift from a problem-fixing mindset to evoking awareness and responsibility, so clients design their own actions and commitments.
- Apply structured coaching conversations (agenda setting, exploration, designing actions, accountability) that move people toward meaningful success.
- Integrate values, life purpose, and balance into coaching so goals align with what truly matters to the client.
- Use the Co-Active approach in multiple contexts—leadership, management, and personal development—not just formal coaching sessions.
