SELF-COACHING TOOL #1 (MORE TO COME... 😉): YOUR MOMENT OF EXCELLENCE

Do you sometimes wish to act cooler in critical situations? If so, the tool “Moment of Excellence” might help you to better cope with stressful moments in future.

So, how does it work? In short, it is about enabling individuals to make the results of their entire learning history available to themselves in a way which is appropriate to the situation.

The tool uses the so called "anchoring". In this context existing positive experiences – your “Moments of Excellence” - can get newly linked with an external stimulus (such as a gesture or a touch) and subsequently evoked again when needed.

In seven steps connections are getting established supporting you to “survive” critical situations more confidently in future:
1. Identify the anchor point
2. Collect resourceful situations
3. Select the most resourceful situation
4. Visualize the situation
5. Anchor
6. Return to the present
7. Manifest the anchor through training

The Moment of Excellence can also be modified to a Moment of Importance in order to e.g. counter the slights of narcissistic superiors.

But how to train yourself on both the Moment of Excellence and the "Moment of Importance"? This is described in more detail (with a reading time of appr. 3 min.) in my blog at: https://businesscoachingonline.de/en/moments-of-exc/

What were your Moments of Excellence in life?

SELF-COACHING TOOL #2 (MORE TO COME... 😉): THE RESOURCE TELESCOPE

Do you mentally prepare yourself for upcoming stressful moments, such as target-setting discussions with your boss? If not, you probably belong to the majority of employees, because with all the hectic and in view of tightly scheduled daily routines there is very often no room for the “mental gym”.

Nevertheless, it can be extremely helpful to acquire appropriate routines to act more relaxed in such situations. The probability that you will actually perceive such moments as pleasant is significantly higher if you visualize the upcoming to-be situation as concretely as possible in advance in order to bring it to mind shortly before it happens.

An example for such a visualization – called "priming" - and how it works step-by-step is described in more detail (with a reading time of appr. 2 min.) in my blog for self-coaching at:

Do you have any experiences with such kind of visualization techniques? Would be great to share!
