Balance & Life Perspective Flashcards

A client feels their life is 'good on paper' but something is missing. Using the balance dimension of Co-Active Coaching, the coach would explore:

Answer: Which life areas feel underserved or out of alignment with what matters most

The 'good on paper' feeling often points to a life area that is being neglected or a values misalignment in an apparently successful area.

The Co-Active concept of 'being over doing' in balance coaching means:

Answer: Clients should address their way of being before designing external actions

Co-Active Coaching emphasizes that sustainable balance starts with the client's inner state and orientation, not just calendar management.

When a client achieves temporary balance but quickly slips back into old patterns, the Co-Active coach should explore:

Recurring imbalance usually points to underlying beliefs or environmental structures that must be addressed for lasting change.

In Co-Active Coaching, 'life structures' in the context of balance refer to:

Answer: Habits, routines, and systems that support or undermine balanced living

Life structures are the practical systems and routines a client builds to sustain desired behaviors and balance over time.
