VALUES Coaching Model©

The VALUES Model© is a simple coaching tool that allows the client to move forward to attain his or her goals in tune with the organisation’s expectations. It is underpinned by a complex series of tools and models that give the coaches the understanding they need to facilitate the development the client identifies.

The Model has six segments but can be divided into three broader strands.
The first (Values and Attitudes) describes where the individual is, what they are doing, what is most important to them and what they really want to achieve. It applies the 80/20 rule (20 per cent of what you do is effective, 80 per cent not) to identify exactly what you need to concentrate on to develop further. This can then be placed alongside organisational aims and objectives to facilitate alignment where possible and appropriate.

The second (Learnings and Utilisation) is the information collecting stage, providing the background on what the client has and what resources they will need to proceed. (This is where careful consideration is made of how progress aligns with the individual’s role map or personal development programme, whichever is appropriate). The Enneagram Model (see description below) is used to ascertain the personality type to gain greater intrapersonal understanding to facilitate interpersonal growth through identifying how to achieve more balance.

The third section (Evaluation and Strategy) provides the measurement criteria, making sure the outcome is realistic and ecological (in this context meaning the study of consequences). A strategy document is produced so the client, coach and organisation can track development and ensure the client stays on track and achieves their outcome.

There are four main tools that are also used within the VALUES Model©.
Firstly, the Life Cycles (an extension of the Wheel of Life) which gives the client the opportunity for greater personal insight to identify what is of paramount importance to them and what they need to concentrate on to progress.

Secondly, the Enneagram is the most sophisticated horizontal personality type model available, plotting the individual’s state in three scenarios: normal, stress and intimacy. The intention is to seek insight so the individual can bring more balance to their approach. It is not to categorise, rather the opposite. ‘We are controlled by that with which we identify. We control that with which we do not identify’.

Thirdly, the Keys To An Achievable Outcome tool provides measurement criteria for attaining the goal or outcome, and also provides a framework for ecological progression.

Fourthly, the Personal Strategy Plan is a unique, live document which provides the steps required to achieve the goal and, where necessary, the tools to produce best possible performance.

The VALUES Model© is the only model that clearly identifies the Beliefs and Values of the individual, as well as the organisation, so greater insight understanding can occur and, where possible, goals and expectations can be aligned.

The Model starts by identifying the Beliefs and Values of the organisation and the individual, and crucially, what area(s) the client needs to focus on to progress. Attitudes and Behaviours are then explored to discover where the client is currently operating from, what tools they need to progress, and how the organisation can help.

Each stage of the Model slips seamlessly from one to the other as the previous learning supports the next. Once Learnings have been identified, the Model then explores how they can be utilised so that personal progression can dovetail with organisational expectations.

The Evaluation process is the most complete and rigorous available – the Well-Formed Outcome criteria from Neuro-Linguistic Programming. This thorough examination of the processes undertaken to ensure a successful, measurable outcome ensures both the organisation and individual has clear Performance Management records from the coaching sessions.

The final stage is to provide a strategy to ensure success. Much of the information already provided will feed into this strategy but it is how it is designed that is challenging, unique and aspirational. If appropriate to the outcome(s) the individual’s strategy for success in a particular area (ie, something they do very well) can be elicited and installed in the area in which they want to progress/develop.

Having identified the final outcome, the client is then encouraged to work backwards, to identify each step in reverse to achieve that outcome. Once identified, a live document is then produced to record the steps which need to be taken, when they are taken and what resources will be required.

On successful completion of the goal/outcome a well-documented history of the process is produced by client and coach for inclusion in the organisation’s Performance Management portfolio. The VALUES Model©:

‘Coaching is about finding the difference that makes the difference: What you’re doing when you’re not doing what you need to be doing to get the result you want’
