A core part of our coaching involves the use of 4 archetypes – as developed by the psychologist Robert Moore.
The 4 archetypes we use:
- Social Being
- Warrior
- Magician
- Sovereign
We use these 4 archetypes to create 4 phases in our team meetings. Let’s take a look at these in more detail.
- Social Being Round
- Check-ins
- Personal presence – are we really present? What gets in the way?
- Work focussed check-ins vs personal life check-ins. What is correct?
- Warrior Round
- Creating a safe container
- Looking at the importance of mutual respect in the workplace
- Accepting limits and boundaries
- Forming an agreement on how we commit to behaving in the team.
- Discussion on personal responsibility and responsibility to the team.
- Holding ourselves accountable
- What kind of a person / colleague would you like to be?
- Conflict Management – Focus on taking responsibility, not blame.
- Recognising the mirror in our judgements.
- Clearing blocks to effective teamwork
- Separating facts from judgements
- Magician Round
- Looking at individual issues and getting team support on these
- Sovereign Round
- Celebrating achievements
- Offering praise and appreciation.
- Setting goals for the team.
- Individuals set their own goals.
- Checking out – personal feeling, and what each person is taking away with them.
After our initial coaching sessions, we offer ongoing support and evaluation:
- Post-coaching review with team leaders and management – suggest meeting two weeks after the coaching session.
- Offer ongoing support through virtual check-ins, progress tracking, and additional coaching sessions as needed.
- Conduct periodic evaluations to measure the program’s effectiveness, gather feedback, and make necessary adjustments.
