Solar Coaching – The Revolution in You

Introduction
This paper approaches the process of coaching in analogy with the Sun’s
movements around Earth, to capture the Revolution movement as a journey that
each person goes through in the process of coaching while living an internal
revolution himself. The intentional aim is to grow, develop and perform, while
constantly rewriting the value, emotion, thinking, actions, results cycle and build
sustainable new perspectives, approaches, realign priorities or removing oneself
from a place where you’re stuck with no or low value to live in.
Many analogies have described the benefits of coaching in the growth and
development journey, after long reflections on how to better translate that, books
read, information sedimented, listening and continuous curiosity about the internal
and external elements throughout the holistic person journeys in the coaching
process, light came by itself shining upon the beauty, practicality and discovery that
coaching holds. Integrating the concept of coaching with natural elements has the
power to give a more obvious understanding on the integration between the different
“seasons” of the patterns of our internal processes and their translation into the
outside world or in the relationships we shape with others.
Solar Coaching is a model that blends the concept of coaching and the movements
of the universe to bring about transformational change in oneself, individuals and
businesses. This paper will examine the Solar Coaching model, exploring how it
works and how it can be applied.

Solar Coaching Definition
Solar Coaching is an integrated approach to coaching that takes a holistic view of
the client. The model looks at the client as being the Earth and the coaching process
as being the Sun. The coach is summing up the forces of the universe, helping the
client to grow and develop. This model can be applied as self-coaching as well as by
an external coach.
Solar Coaching is a powerful tool that helps individuals and businesses achieve their
goals. It is a process that helps individuals unlock their potential, set realistic goals
and develop a plan to achieve those goals. Coaching is not just about imparting

knowledge or skills, but rather about empowering individuals to take charge of their
own lives and make the necessary changes to achieve their desired outcomes.
The Solar Coaching model takes this concept further, by using the movements of the
universe to create a structured and holistic approach to coaching. The model views
the person or business being coached as the Earth and the coaching process as the
Sun, with the coach being the forces of the universe that help bring about change.
The Solar Coaching model follows a cyclical approach, where the coach guides the
individual or business through a series of steps, starting with values, emotions,
thoughts, behaviours, actions, results, and connecting back to values again. This
cycle is repeated, with the thoughts and actions representing the investments, while
the results and values represent the returns. The Earth represents the person or
business and stands for energy, adaptability, resourcefulness, tenacity, and holistic
thinking. The Sun represents the coaching methodology, which integrates with the
Earth and stands for solar, unique, and nurturing.

The Solar Coaching cycle follows this pattern:
1. Values – The client identifies their core values. These are the things that are
most important to them in life.
2. Emotions – The client explores their emotions. They learn how to identify and
manage their emotions in a healthy way.
3. Thoughts – The client examines their thoughts. They learn how to challenge
negative thoughts and replace them with more positive ones.
4. Behaviours – The client changes their behaviours. They learn how to act in a
way that is consistent with their values.
5. Actions – The client takes action. They start to live their life in a way that is
aligned with their values.
6. Results – The client sees results. They start to achieve their goals and live a
more fulfilling life.
The Solar Coaching cycle is not linear but has a circle evolution, continuing in
spiralling up as the client moves from one stage to another. The client may move
back and forth at the same thinking pattern level, between the different elements, as
they continue to grow and develop. The coach is there to create that space where
the client can smoothly navigate on the fine line of the thinking pattern so that the
client’s journey is developing on strong awareness moments, moving him/ her one
step ahead, challenges the existing connections and interconnection and helps them
to reach a new perspective and their aimed potential. That can be just recreating the
cycle by fixing the broken links between the elements or creating new awareness
that moves the cycle a level up in the spiral.

Solar Coaching can be used with individuals and businesses. It is a very powerful
tool for personal and professional development as it is in fact giving the full set of
ingredients that create a certain perspective, loop, or reality for the client. In the case
of self coaching, this process can be a significant side-kick for a person engaged in
self development and dedicated to allow a certain time, pace and reflection
throughout the entire process of knowing oneself and generating long-lasting,
consistent change. Knowing the process and enriching yourself with the Solar
Coaching method is learning a skill and benefiting from it for yourself and for closer
circle (family, friends, work) in a non-commercial way, but rather transforming the
relationship with yourself and others to create positive energy, achieve goals or
simply become a better human.

Values
The Solar Coaching model begins with values, which are the core principles that
guide individuals and businesses. The coach helps the individual or business identify
their values and how they can align them with their goals. Values act as a compass,
helping individuals and businesses stay focused and motivated.
Emotions
Emotions are an integral part of the coaching process, and the Solar Coaching
model recognizes their importance. The coach helps the individual or business
explore their emotions, and how they affect their behaviour and decision-making
process. By understanding their emotions, individuals and businesses can make
more informed choices and create more meaningful connections with others.
Thoughts
Thoughts are the next step in the Solar Coaching model, and they represent the
mental patterns that shape an individual’s behaviour, limitations, perspectives. The
coach helps the individual or business identify their negative thought patterns and
replace them with positive ones. By changing their thoughts, individuals and
businesses can change their behaviour and achieve better outcomes.

Behaviour
Behaviours are the actions individuals and businesses take based on their thoughts
and emotions. The coach helps the individual or business identify their negative
behaviours and replace them with positive ones. By changing their behaviour,
individuals and businesses can achieve better outcomes and create more positive
relationships.
Actions

Actions represent the investments individuals and businesses make to achieve their
goals. The coach helps the individual or business identify the actions they need to
take and create a plan to achieve them. By taking action, individuals and businesses
can create the momentum they need to achieve their desired outcomes.
Results
Results are the outcomes of the actions individuals and businesses take. The coach
helps the individual or business evaluate their results and adjust their actions if
necessary. By measuring their results, individuals and businesses can determine if
they are making progress towards their goals.
Connecting
Connecting back to values is the final step in the Solar Coaching model, and it
represents the process of integrating all the steps into a holistic approach. The coach
helps the individual or business connect their values, thoughts, behaviours, actions,
and results, and use them as a guide to achieve their goals. By connecting these
steps, individuals and businesses can create a sustainable approach to achieving
their desired outcomes.

Conclusion
The Solar Coaching model is a powerful tool for individuals and businesses looking
to create meaningful change. By using the movements of the universe, the model
creates a structured and holistic approach. Growth and development are on-going

processes and self-coaching follows the same path. Learning never stops. But with
the right tools and structure, learning can take one to unexpected and unimagined
versions of oneself, allowing a deep self-discovery, transformation, connection and
life well-lived.
