Managers and coaches find it easy and useful to learn our solutions-focused coaching model, OSKAR. OSKAR is an acronym, standing for Outcome, Scaling, Know How, Affirm and Action, Review.
Outcome
What is the objective of this coaching?
We discover what the client wants and what will make the coaching sessions worthwhile.
Scaling
On a scale of 0 to 10, where are you (n) on that scale today?
The point here is for the client to make a call about where they are on the scale to give a sense of objectivity.
Know How
What helps you perform at n on the scale?
Our interest is in what works here and our assumption is that there is a lot of know how around, specifically in relation to the context.
Affirm and Action
What's already going well and what is the next small step?
Hearing about one's relevant, successful experiences and resourceful qualities is a good preparation for selecting a useful next step, based on what is expected to work.
Review
What's better?
Our interest in subsequent sessions is in what's better, what progress has been made, bringing a cycle back to a start, to consider what might be next for the coach and client to speak about.
