Existential Coaching Model
So how does a coach take an existential philosophy and bring it into the day to day life of coaching? Take a look at this video and you will see one perspective. This is a recording I made for a class that is part of the Masters Degree in Organizational Dynamics program at the University of Pennsylvania. Since I could not be there to share my approach with the current students, I offered to make a recording. I would love your input or comments on the model, and the presentation. Thanks.
Ciao!

Hi Linda
First, thank you for sharing your model with our class last Saturday. I just listened to your presentation again and I noticed that you distinguish between an approach and a model. Could you share what you mean by that? And if there are things that we ought to be aware of in order to avoid unintentionally creating an approach rather than a model.
Best,
Jackie
Jackie:
Thanks for taking the time to view the presentation again. It’s great to get feedback and input. Your question is actually rather important, I’m glad you asked.
The way I distinguish a coaching model from a coaching approach has to do with the perspective from which each is used. The coaching model is provided for the clients benefit so that he will know what to expect and the various states he will experience throughout the process. This also includes any tools or techniques that may be used. Think of the model as the bicycle that you would ride to get from point A to point B.
The approach is from the perspective of the coach. It is how I come to the coaching relationship and the guiding principles that I use. They are not necessarily stated overtly to the client, but rather inform how I coach. For me those guiding principles are listed in an earlier post What Is Existential Coaching.
I hope this helps!
