The Coaching Method: SFC and MI Integration

My approach moves beyond training to deliver measurable, sustainable behavioral change. I use an integrated model based on two powerful, evidence-based interventions: Solution Focused Coaching (SFC) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

Solution Focused Coaching (SFC): We skip lengthy problem analysis. SFC is brief, goal-directed, and future-focused. Sessions quickly pinpoint what's already working in your managers' experience and build on those existing strengths. This method ensures changes are practical and immediately usable on the job.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) Integration: Change requires commitment. I integrate MI to address the natural ambivalence that comes with changing habits. By strengthening a manager's own reasons for success, we solidify their confidence and motivation. This ensures the action steps developed are genuine commitments that last.

The result is an efficient, data-informed coaching process that quickly equips your managers to solve their own challenges and sustain high performance.

Is this model appropriate for sustaining behavioral change over time?

Yes. I integrate Motivational Interviewing (MI) principles, which are evidence-based techniques designed to address natural ambivalence and build the manager's personal commitment to change. This ensures the new behaviors are sustained long after the coaching sessions conclude.
