"You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water."
Rabindranath Tagore
Are you ready for change?
In my coaching work I apply the so called Trans-Theoretical Model
of Change, TTMC, that was developed by Prochaska, Norcross and Di
Clemente all professors for psychology working at different
US-American Universities in the 90's. They did research on
individuals change processes and found out that change and
transition in general is a 5 step process which needs different
interventions in order to support people to go through this
change and transitional phases.
The 5 steps of change and transition
Prochaska, Norcross and Di Clemente distinguish
1. Precontemplation
2. Contemplation
3. Preparation
4. Action
5. Maintenance
The first three stages are defined as the experimental process of change, where a person incorporates cognitive, evaluative and affective aspects of change.
The latter stages are defined by more specific observable change strategies and behavioral change processes.
The following test might help you to find out, where you are right now in your individual change process and define in which way a personal coach can support you in this process.
