Balance & Life Perspective Flashcards

In Co-Active Coaching, 'balance' refers primarily to:

Answer: The client having a full, satisfying life as they define it

Balance in Co-Active Coaching is subjective and client-defined, not about equal distribution of time across categories.

The Wheel of Life tool in Co-Active Coaching is primarily used to:

Answer: Give clients a snapshot of current satisfaction across life dimensions

The Wheel of Life provides a visual, subjective assessment of current satisfaction across multiple life areas to identify where attention is needed.

A client rates career a 9/10 but family a 2/10 on the Wheel of Life. The Co-Active coach's first step is:

Answer: Explore what a higher family satisfaction score would look like for the client

Exploring what a higher score looks like generates the client's own vision for change rather than the coach imposing a solution.

Which of the following best describes the Co-Active view of 'life perspective'?

Answer: Clients benefit from zooming out to see how their choices fit their whole life

Co-Active Coaching invites clients to view their lives from a broader vantage point to make more intentional and integrated choices.

When a client says 'I have no time for anything but work,' the Co-Active balance coach would most likely:

Answer: Explore what the client is tolerating and what they truly want their life to look like

Exploring tolerations and the client's vision for their life opens the path to meaningful balance shifts.

In balance coaching, 'tolerations' are defined as:

Answer: Things a client accepts that drain energy or undermine life satisfaction

Tolerations are ongoing drains or annoyances that a client accepts but that quietly undermine their energy and life quality.
