Appreciative inquiry as a coaching method has a different focus. Did you know there are different types of focus when coaching?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Where
Your focus is where your attention is, and we are better if we pay attention.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1) Focus on what needs to be fixed, changed or improved.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Many traditional coaching methods look at where you can improve, what you can change to get more of what you want. The challenge with these forms of coaching is that your focus is on understanding the problem, where it exists, why you see it as a problem… You focus on the problem. This limits your vision and scope of possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Focus on what is working, why its working and how you can get more of that.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Appreciative inquiry is a coaching method that looks at things that you are doing well. Where you feel you are successful and then asking the questions around; Why its working? What are you doing to make it happen? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By changing your focus, it becomes easier to work towards a positive change, because your Imagination & Will motivates you to manifest what you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not that appreciate inquiry ignores problems or difficulties in life; rather it shifts attention to what is the desired future. For that future to be created, problems are resolved or become inconsequential.<\/p>Kogan Page \u00a9 2021 Excellence in Coaching1<\/sup><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
