Models, Concepts & Approaches
Adult Development Theory
by Robert Keagan

The bite…
The theory comprises 5 stages that, through the coaching I offer, I will help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and others. You’ll enhance your decision-making skills and learn to navigate the complexity, ambiguity, and uncertainty around you more effectively.
This model aims to transform you into a more authentic and empowered version of yourself so that you can achieve your goals with confidence and success.
Fogg Behavior Model by BJ Fogg
The bite…
The Tiny Habits model by BJ Fogg is about creating habits through small daily actions. It focuses on making small, consistent changes that can have a big impact on our lives and those changes gradually grow bigger.
We identify specific behaviors, anchor them to existing cues in our routine, and celebrate achievements to reinforce the desired habit.
My coaching practice / experience guides you to incorporate new habits that you have constantly tried out without the expected results using this great model and methodology.

Complexity Concept Cynefin Framework by David Snowden
The bite…
From David Snowden’s perspective, COMPLEXITY involves navigating unpredictable systems where cause and effect are not clear-cut. Decision-making requires adapting to emerging and unpredictable variables. The Cynefin Framework distinguishes between different situations, categorizing them as simple, complicated, COMPLEX, and chaotic, each requiring a different approach.
Ultimately, COMPLEXITY entails embracing uncertainty and being flexible in response to ever-changing situations. And guess what? Complexity is ubiquitous, present almost constantly.
Bell Jar Concept by Doug Silsbee
The bite…
The Bell Jar serves as a metaphor for the complex world around us, shaping our identity and how we see things. It’s like a lens, showing us what’s clear and what’s hidden. This Bell Jar, shaped by our experiences & beliefs, embodies who we are, influenced by our personal history. It shapes how we see the world and how we respond to it
The bite…
Through a solid coaching process, we are able to acknowledge the presence of our personal Bell Jar, unlocking a clearer understanding of reality’s complexity, experiencing it with increased immediacy. This realization offers clarity, transforming what was once obscure into sharp focus, and revealing previously hidden nuances. Empowered by this awareness, we gain the capacity to explore and navigate diverse contexts, fostering a deeper understanding of the world around us and opening possibilities
Self-generating Concept by Doug Silsbee
The bite…
In coaching, ‘SELF-GENERATING’ is the ability to employ inner strengths and resilience to navigate challenges and drive personal growth independently. It is about tapping into innate wisdom and creativity to make decisions and take action with confidence.
Ultimately, self-generating empowers individuals to become SELF-SUFFICIENT and adaptable in their journey of growth and development. My coaching practice aims to help my clients become more self-generating.
Mind-Body Approach by Amanda Blake
The bite…
The mind-body approach emphasizes the integration of mental (mind) and physical (body) aspects to facilitate personal growth and well-being. Acknowledging the interconnectedness of thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, this approach involves practices like mindfulness exercises and body scans to deepen clients’ self-awareness.
By exploring how thoughts and emotions manifest in the body, clients gain insight and uncover new growth opportunities. This approach supports clients in achieving their goals and enhancing overall well-being.

The Growth Edge Interview (GEI) is a method used to explore an individual’s stage of development according to Adult Development Theory, as well as their capacity for growth. The (GEI) consists of a structured interview process designed to elicit information about how a person makes meaning of their experiences, how they handle complexity, and how they approach change and learning.
