Life Coaching: Theory of Change
Coaching addresses skills deficits, builds long-term cognitive ability and enables self-sufficiency by:
(1) building a growth-promoting relationship (2) eliciting motivation for change(3) improving capacity to change (positivity, resilience, and self-
efficacy)(4) facilitating the process of change (constructive
development)
Supporting theories include: social cognitive; adult development; nonviolent communication; immunity to change; solution-oriented therapy; positive psychology; mindfulness; self-determination theory; relational/cultural theory; emotional intelligence; and relational flow.
