1 Identify and leverage strengths

One of the core concepts of positive psychology is that everyone has a unique set of strengths that can be used to overcome challenges, achieve goals, and create positive outcomes. You can help your coachees discover and develop their strengths by using tools such as the VIA Character Strengths Survey, the StrengthsFinder, or the Strengths Profile. You can also use strength-based questions and feedback to help your coachees recognize and appreciate their strengths, and to explore how they can use them more effectively in different situations.

I use both VIA and StrengthsFinder in my work. I believe in a strengths approach to coaching and I believe that noticing a client's positive emotions help them assimilate what they are learning. A client I worked with a few years ago, was reluctant to take the VIA assessment. When she finally did and we looked at her top 5 strengths, she looked at me and said, "Those aren't strengths, that's just me!" At that moment, it was clear to me, that people often don't know and don't see their strengths. What this means to me is people don't have access to strengths until they are introduced to them. This client went on to use those strengths more often and to use them purposefully in difficult situations. There was no stopping her after that!

2 Cultivate a growth mindset

Another key concept of positive psychology is that abilities and talents are not fixed, but can be improved with effort, feedback, and learning. This is called a growth mindset, and it fosters a positive attitude towards challenges, failures, and feedback. You can help your coachees develop a growth mindset by encouraging them to embrace challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, to view failures as feedback and not as personal flaws, and to seek and apply constructive criticism. You can also model a growth mindset yourself by sharing your own learning experiences and goals, and by asking for feedback from your coachees.

What I've learned about growth and fixed mindsets is that we have both at different times and in different areas. A person can have a growth mindset around a skill they are developing and have a fixed mindset around a relationship that isn't going well - ever talk and listen to someone who rubbed you the wrong way once and find they are a much different person than you thought -- potential to move from a fixed to a growth mindset about that relationship. Uncovering a fixed mindset through listening for limiting beliefs is one way to generate awareness in your clients -- and add to their learning. Recognizing and acknowledging their learning through failure or accepting of challenges can support their continued growth mindset in that area!

3 Foster positive emotions

Positive emotions are not only pleasant, but also beneficial for well-being, performance, and resilience. They broaden our perspective, enhance our creativity, and build our psychological resources. You can foster positive emotions in your coachees by using techniques such as gratitude, appreciation, savoring, and humor. You can also help your coachees identify and amplify their sources of positive emotions, such as meaningful activities, supportive relationships, and personal values. Additionally, you can help your coachees cope with negative emotions by validating their feelings, reframing their thoughts, and offering support and empathy.

4 Promote self-compassion

Self-compassion is the ability to treat oneself with kindness, understanding, and care, especially in times of difficulty or failure. It is associated with higher levels of well-being, motivation, and resilience. You can promote self-compassion in your coachees by helping them recognize and challenge their self-critical thoughts, by reminding them of their common humanity and imperfections, and by teaching them how to practice self-compassion exercises, such as mindful breathing, positive affirmations, or self-soothing gestures.

Research by Neff (2003) reported self-compassion to be significantly correlated with positive mental health and wellbeing, including reduced depression and anxiety. Coaches, teachers and parents should promote reflection of feelings and emotional reactions prior to and after stressful situations. Also, encourage team/class discussion regarding this to address common humanity.

5 Support goal setting and action planning

Goal setting and action planning are essential skills for achieving desired outcomes and enhancing well-being. You can support your coachees in setting and pursuing their goals by using the SMART framework (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound), by helping them break down their goals into manageable steps, and by monitoring their progress and celebrating their achievements. You can also help your coachees overcome obstacles and setbacks by using strategies such as problem-solving, contingency planning, and coping skills.

By using positive psychology in your coaching sessions, you can help your coachees improve their well-being, performance, and resilience. You can also create a positive and supportive coaching relationship that fosters trust, rapport, and collaboration. Positive psychology can also benefit you as a coach, by enhancing your own well-being, satisfaction, and professional development.
