Become a CoachThe methodology follows the three foundational knowledge traditions of coaching.
and the works of Abram Maslow and Carl Rogers.
These are basic principles of all schools of coaching.
This viewpoint comes from Cybernetics and the works of Heinz von Foerster.
Constructivism developed the idea that we help create the world we live in. Our perception of reality is as much a construct of our minds as what is in the world outside us. Therefore coaching needs to discover the world the client is constructing and not try to give them a right answer.
People describe the world and themselves in language, and the structure of language shapes their thinking and limits it.
Coaching takes into account how the language the client uses is a clue to how they are thinking about their issue.
The Lambent methodology is an integrated model, based on sound theoretical foundations.
Ontological coaching focuses on the client’s way of being, the dynamic interaction of the client’s language, emotions and physiology. There is a strong emphasis on listening, language patterns and emotions expressed in physiology. The Lambent methodology takes these dimensions into account; the client is a whole person, mind, heart and spirit. The principles of Ontological coaching are taken mainly from the writings of James Flaherty, Fernando Flores and Rafael Echeverria.
This rapidly developing field of transpersonal psychology has been pioneered by the writings of the American Philosopher, Ken Wilber. The integral model uses a number of different perspectives to gain as full an understanding of a situation as possible. It looks at lines of development, states of mind, types of psychology, and stages of development. It uses interior and exterior, individual and collective perspectives. Perspectives are an important part of the Lambent methodology and Integral studies provide some very useful ones.
This follows Abram Maslow’s ideas of self-actualisation. The approach has been used in the United States and developed by Martin Seligman. Positive psychology concentrates on mental well-being and researches positive emotions and what people can do to build more of them into their life. Hope and Optimism as character traits are seen as very important. This has led to a school of coaching known as Authentic Happiness Coaching.
The Inner game methodology was very important in the development of coaching. Pioneered by Timothy Gallwey, it focused on defeating your inner opponent to become your best. The method was brought to Europe by Sir John Whitmore. Co-active Coaching is a model originally also developed in the United States, by Laura Whitworth. The four principles are that the client is naturally creative, resourceful and whole, coaching addresses the client’s whole life, the client sets the agenda and the coaching relationship is a partnership. Co-active Coaching also places emphasis on the coach’s intuition as a coaching tool.
A system of psychology started by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the United States in the nineteen seventies, and subsequently developed by Robert Dilts, NLP is the study of the structure of subjective experience and studied outstanding communicators to see how they achieved their results. Its focus is reflected in the name, ‘Neuro’ is the mind, ‘Linguistic’ is about language and ‘Programming’ is about sequences of actions to achieve a goal. NLP adopts a pragmatic approach, based on models of excellence, and teaches many important skills and tools used in coaching.
This model focuses on external behaviour rather than inner goals and seeks sustainable measurable changes in behaviour. It is mostly applied in a business context. Lambent methodology recognises the importance of measurable results for individuals; teams and organisations so the impact of coaching can be evaluated from different aspects. Coaching changes thinking and emotions and this leads to behavioural change. Behavioural Coaching has been primarily developed by Perry Zeus and Suzanna Skiffington in Australia.
The Lambent methodology and design follows principles of adult learning (Andragogy): Adults are autonomous and self-directed. They want to be free to direct their own learning. Trainers need to be like facilitators, and guide participants to their own knowledge rather than supplying them with facts.
The structure of the Lambent coaching course and the way it is trained follows these important principles. All our trainers are highly experienced and trained specifically in the Lambent methodology and approach.
