CONCLUSION
Coaching from multiple theories can be done
using a holistic and integral coaching model and using appropriate aspects combined
to meet the needs of the client. The challenge often presented by clients
is that they may see only a part of the picture and can focus using a negative
perspective. A multidisciplinary approach helps clients access both mind and
body responses, imagery, and find a sense of purpose to address their feelings
to allow them to make positive choices and take actions that build success. Cultivating the best things in life means repairing the
worst; positive emotions, or experiencing optimism as well as gratitude about
your past, contentment in the present, and hope for the future is the ultimate
goal of the work. Engagement, or achieving “flow” with enjoyable
activities and hobbies, relationship, or forming social connections with family
and friends, and finding meaning and purpose in life actualizes the self
through accomplishments, goals, and successes.
