The Unicorn Effect: 12 Transformational Practices for Coaches, Leaders, and High Performers
Introduction
The Unicorn Effect is about teaching coaches, leaders, and high performers how to be effective and inspired to live their best lives. What is The Unicorn Effect and why are we seeking it out? Transformational Skills (What is the Unicorn effect? Why 12 practices? Why is it important? Coaching & Leadership Practices, My background)
Practice 1: Breathing
The practice of breathing is a foundational principle in Mind-Body Medicine as well as in effective coaching and leadership.
Practice 2: Presence
The practice of presence determines how we show up in the world, which makes all the difference in how we experience our life and our relationships.
Practice 3: Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is the ability to know who we are as humans and as coaches and leaders. This awareness requires practice and input from others.
Practice 4: Self-Care
The practice of self-care enables us to deliver on our intentions. We can have great intentions but if we don’t feel well or are not healthy, we cannot follow through on them. Nutrition, relaxation, movement, sleep, and connection are key enablers for our self-care.
Practice 5: Appreciation
The practice of appreciation is learning to notice what is right about people and situations. When practiced regularly, it changes our life, our interactions, and our experiences and becomes part of who we are. Story: My client who told me, “I just love how I look through your eyes.”
Practice 6: Inquiry
The art of asking questions changes our interactions with others. It indicates our belief that people are whole, capable, and resourceful and helps them tune into the answers they have inside of them instead of creating dependence and resentment. Self-Inquiry also allows us to continue changing and growing and allows us to be dynamic and reflexive in our assumptions and intentions.
Practice 7: Reflection
The practice of reflection has two dimensions, one is reflecting what you hear to ensure that you understand. The other is reflecting upon your interactions with others to see where you may need to shift or improve them and what you might do differently.
Practice 8: Healing
Sometimes we must do some work to heal the effects of our history, genetics, environment etc. There are tools we can use for self-help and resources such as counselors, coaches, body workers, energy workers etc. that can help us to clear the past so we can move forward intentionally and consciously.
Practice 9: Listening
There are so many ways we can learn to listen, and we usually only use one. Three-dimensional listening includes listening to what is being said and what is not being said. It includes listening for what inspires, motivates, thrills, and fills someone. Listening with our mind-body and spirit allows for inspiration and intuition that tells us much more than might be said with words.
Practice 10: Communicating
Words matter. Saying what needs to be said is important. Communicating authentically and living authentically is important to health and well-being.
Practice 11: Advocacy
Advocacy should be used sparingly and with care. It tends to push people away or shut down conversations rather than inviting people to problem solve or explore options.
Practice 12: Alchemy: The Unicorn Way
How do we put all this together? How do we keep our practices alive and well? How do we make them a part of our life and daily flow? How do we regularly turn base metal into gold (alchemy)? This is the plan for incorporating all the practices that allow for the Unicorn Effect to be possible.
