Reveln Coaching– Using BCoach Principles, the Business Case & Approach
Hello! Welcome to the Reveln coaching page, which is all about YOU and maximizing your strengths and effectiveness.
Format: Coaching sessions with with Deb are often 30 minutes, organized around a short, 15 minute core, coaching discussion. It is this concentrated discussion focused on discovery & “Right Action” that often provides the greatest insights and development. The sessions are spaced, usually 1-3 weeks apart, focused towards your current and emerging goals, using all frames of reference that impact a leader, manager or professional’s effectiveness. It’s all about your effectiveness and success!
When feasible, it can be helpful to meet face to face or via Skype or Google video, for remote clients. A number of my past clients have also found that the type of concentrated work that helps you fully unlock your capacity and remove any barriers to your success is also aided by the type of concentrated thinking that happens on the phone at the point when you may not need visual cues and tools, or find them to be a distraction. I’m also willing to attend events with you, if it is useful to your coaching progress. Please read the information about the Reveln coaching approach below, under the photo.
The Reveln Coaching mini-Blog: is here and covers the difference between coaching & therapy, tools used in coaching, and coaching relevant research & news.
Key Coaching Principles & Approach:
1. Coaching to achieve client effectiveness is the leading indicator of coaching effectiveness, not coach certifications or competencies, even though BCoach is in full compliance with International Coaching Federation (ICF) standards.
2. Deb is BCoach trained and centers her coaching approach on helping you develop and implement RightAction™ – including 6 areas of focus oriented for reaching Right Results. In its simplest terms, Right Action is helping coaching clients “do what works.”
Right Action exists when the
1) right people are doing the
2) right things in the
3) right way at the
4) right time for the
5) right reasons in the
6) right space to get the
7) right results.
Surfacing Right Action is the main objective for BCoach trained coaches.
The Business Case:
Business coaching that is effective is centered in leader development. The business case for this is research available here. The white paper: The Business Case for Emotional Intelligence is available here. For example, below are 3 citations out of 19 business case research examples:
a. Experienced partners in a multinational consulting firm were assessed on the EI competencies plus three others. Partners who scored above the median on 9 or more of the 20 competencies delivered $1.2 million more profit from their accounts than did other partners – a 139 percent incremental gain (Boyatzis, 1999).
b. An analysis of more than 300 top-level executives from fifteen global companies showed that six emotional competencies distinguished stars from the average: Influence, Team Leadership, Organizational Awareness, self-confidence, Achievement Drive, and Leadership (Spencer, L. M., Jr., 1997).
c. In jobs of medium complexity (sales clerks, mechanics), a top performer is 12 times more productive than those at the bottom and 85 percent more productive than an average performer. In the most complex jobs (insurance salespeople, account managers), a top performer is 127 percent more productive than an average performer (Hunter, Schmidt, & Judiesch, 1990). Competency research in over 200 companies and organizations worldwide suggests that about one-third of this difference is due to technical skill and cognitive ability while two-thirds is due to emotional competence (Goleman, 1998). (In top leadership positions, over four-fifths of the difference is due to emotional competence.)

BCoach Approach
BCoach coaches use the Coach2 coaching model to attain five outcomes. These are integral elements that create learning leverage:
You are not alone. Reflections - by kevindooley, Flickr
1. awareness,
2. purpose,
3. competence,
4. well-being
5. to achieve the right results
Deb uses a coaching interaction model to:
1. identify openings
2. generate possibilities
3. develop plans
4. preview the outcome of those plans*
5. and generate commitment to right action
*Previewing and testing of outcomes and plans is one of the key distinguishing features of the BCoach approach, as compared to other coaching systems. This is similar to scenario planning.
Deb focuses on the use of three core competencies:
1. connection,
2. clarification, and
3. commitment
Using five key abilities:
1. listening,
2. observing,
3. discerning,
4. modeling, and
5. delivery
And five 5 modalities:
1. Feedback
2. Inquiry
3. Statements
4. Challenges
5. Ideas
Contact Deb here to schedule a brief, private consultation and demonstration.
Deb offers a variety of assessment tools. Several of her tools include:
- the iWam Attitude and Motivation assessment, new to the United States. It includes the “clock” describing how much change a person prefers to have over a period of time. Samples of iWam reports are here. An iWam overview is here.
- the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Step II, based on the work of Carl Jung’s archetypes. It is described (and copied, often poorly) in many places. A simple, clear 2 minute video that describes MBTI basics is available here.
The updated Change Management Resources website is another useful resource. It includes change leader Daryl Conner, our first site advisor. We also maintain a Change Master’s blog here. If there is one constant in life (beyond death and taxes), it is change. The new, free website is intended to help change leaders access tools, resources and case studies. Some resources will be featured on the Reveln coaching mini-blog available here as they are relevant to individual development and change.
