GROUND
The first pillar of the GURU CODE process is Ground.
All too often we become so busy in our live and our quest for success and to please everyone that we become totally detached from our purpose.
Before delving into the future or exploring deeper concerns in coaching, it’s essential to establish a sturdy foundation and gain clarity about your current position in life. This groundwork serves as a crucial anchor, providing stability and direction as you navigate personal growth, understanding and development. By understanding where you stand in the present moment, you lay the groundwork for informed decision-making and effective goal setting. Without this foundation, it becomes challenging to progress meaningfully or address deeper issues with any authenticity and purpose. Therefore, taking the time to get grounded and clear on your starting point is instrumental in fostering a successful coaching collaboration towards realising your aspirations and addressing your most profound concerns.
UNPACK
Unpack sounds uncomfortable but it is all about exploring our fears and recognise the path that led us to our current life circumstances. By unpacking these fears which are so common in all and acknowledging the path taken, we gain insight into how our beliefs have been created over time, reconnect, and understand our values, and appreciate the experiences that have shaped our perceptions and guide our decisions. Reflecting on these elements allows us to connect the dots, understanding the intricate web of influences that have shaped our lives. Through this process, we uncover powerful lessons from our past, enabling us to reframe our thinking in order to leap forward with newfound clarity and wisdom. By embracing our history and its lessons, we pave the way for meaningful growth and transformation in the road ahead.
RESOURCE
People are doing their best with the resources they’ve got, or could they do better if they understood how and when to use them?
The significance of examining resources within the coaching methodology lies in the acknowledgment that individuals inherently possess the necessary tools for growth and success. However, as time progresses, confidence in one’s abilities can wane, leading to a disconnect from these innate resources. Within the GURU CODE framework of coaching, resources are deliberately integrated to serve as prompts, refine existing skills, or adapt them to the evolving circumstances one encounters. By revisiting and harnessing these resources, you are empowered to navigate new environments with renewed assurance and effectiveness.
UTILISE
Utilise means to use something in a tactical or technical manner for advantage and for you it means use in a conscious and purposeful manner.
The ‘Utilise’ stage in coaching is dedicated to forward-looking action, where you leverage all the insights, knowledge, and skills you’ve acquired. It’s about gaining the clarity and confidence to apply these assets effectively. This phase involves aligning your vision, plans, and values to attract your future within reach and within the realms of possibility. Utilise serves to inspire and motivate you to stretch beyond your current limits with clarity and confidence.
