Boyatzis’ Model of Intentional Change can be seen at page 8 of this PDF. This model backs the intuitive leaning of many natural coaching approaches and, I believe, provides a theoretical structure that can be adapted for effective coaching models. One of the key contributions of this model is to recognize that by having a client focus and connect to the ideal, hoped for, future state, actually moves them out of the realm of the sympathetic nerve system (the place of reaction and stress where growth is not possible) and stimulates the parasympathetic nerve system (the relaxed normal state where change and growth are possible).

Keep in mind that you are always saying ‘no’ to something. If it isn’t to the apparent, urgent things in your life, it is probably to the most fundamental, highly important things. Even when the urgent is good, the good can keep you from your best, keep you from your unique contribution, if you let it…Stephen Covey

If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two week’s vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days…Dorothy Canfield Fisher

I’m sure you already see the parallel. It has to do with time and practice, and with the kinds of emotions you habitually use for dealing with daily events. The range of emotions you’re currently using are very effective for keeping you angry… or frustrated… or depressed.
And of course, you have every right to those emotions. They’re yours, you’re very good at them, and you can use them all you want to.
But now and then you might want to stop and ask yourself whether the feelings and reactions you’re using are really appropriate to the life you say you want to live.
If the results you’re getting on a consistent, daily basis are uncomfortable – then guess what; you’re doing something that’s inappropriate to the situation you’re in. And that’s usually caused by mis-reading what the situation means.

Replace three unproductive habits with three that raise the bar.
Habit by habit you created your current life circumstances. Therefore, habit by habit you can recreate your life.
Many of us go through our days spending hours at a time contemplating things that will never happen. We actually focus on negative things – negative consequences. If many of us had the opportunity to write a what-if book for ourselves, we might have several chapters. In other words, we block ourselves with “what if this” or “what if that” instead of focusing on what we really want.
What is it that you really want to manifest? In order for it to manifest you have to truly believe it is possible. What you have to do is create a belief for your life that “anything is possible.” I didn’t say, “Anything is possible, but what if (you fill in the blank) happens.” I said anything is possible. Period.
Instead of using the famous word “but,” you really should say, “Anything is possible and here’s what I’ll do.” Focus clearly on what you want, and make it happen.
