Milestone Achieved in Penang! Last night, I became the first in my Certified Chief Master Coach cohort ITD World to present my Capstone 1 project—a self-developed coaching framework called the Triple A Model.
The journey through the Certified Chief Master Coach program was transformative, and each of the six modules, 100’s of hours of training and practical coaching, provided invaluable insights that shaped my framework and approach to coaching.
Here are key learnings:
– Core Coaching Competencies – Honed foundational skills that enable impactful coaching conversations, focusing on listening, powerful questioning, and creating a safe space for clients to explore.
– Advanced Coaching Techniques – Mastered techniques that deepen client engagement and bring clarity, helping clients uncover limiting beliefs and build strategies for growth.
– Emotional Intelligence in Coaching – Gained insights into managing emotions, both mine and my clients’, to enhance empathy and connection—a crucial element in any meaningful coaching relationship.
– Resilience Building – Developed strategies to help clients build resilience in the face of challenges, fostering a mindset shift towards seeing adversity as a growth opportunity.
– Strategic Communication – Learned how to communicate with clarity, precision, and influence, helping clients articulate their visions and goals with confidence.
– Leadership Excellence – Explored leadership from multiple dimensions, learning to coach leaders in ways that enhance their ability to inspire, motivate, and drive positive change.
All of these learnings culminated in the Triple A Model I presented.
Built on three pillars—Awareness, Appreciation, and Adaptation—this framework is designed to support resilience, mindset shifts, and personal and professional growth.
Its clarity, simplicity, and adaptability make it accessible for both novice and experienced coaches to use effectively across different contexts.
A heartfelt thank you to my incredible cohort peers for their support, insights, and encouragement, and to the outstanding coaches and trainers at ITD World.
Special thanks to Igor Lasun and Patrick Martens for being sounding boards throughout the process, thanks to Dana Dewita for onsite encouragement and thanks to Dr. Peter CheeDr Kathleen OngMarcia Reynolds, PsyD, MCCMarshall Goldsmith et al for world class workshops. Thanks to Jose M. Romero 🌏for a very powerful question at the end of my presentation.
I was extremely nervous, even though I speak regularly and I was reminded last night by my cohort peer Mark Parsells , that the nerves I felt were a reflection of how much I care about this work and the impact it can have.
Excited to see how the Triple A Model will empower others on their journeys!
