The Ignition Designer – Coaching Reflect

Activity: The “Ignition” Designer

Theme: Real-world Coaching Application.

Instructions: Below are 3 real-world client scenarios where the “engine has stalled.” Pick ONE scenario. Using the I.N.C.U.P. keys (Interest, Novelty, Challenge, Urgency, Play), design a specific strategy or tool to get them moving.

• Constraint: Do not just say “Use Novelty.” You must design the specific action (e.g., “Work from a coffee shop you’ve never been to”).

Write a brief scenario?

1. Explain what issue your client is dealing with? (Which scenario you chose)
2. How would you approach this as a coach
3. What kind of suggestions would you offer? (you can make more tan one suggestion?)
4.  Explain how this fits into the Ignition Keys analogy we learned about

Scenario one: Client: “I have to write this monthly compliance report. It takes 2 hours. I know how to do it, and I know it’s important, but every time I open the document, I physically feel like I can’t type. I just stare at the cursor.”

Scenario two: Client: “My bed is covered in clean laundry. It’s been there for 4 days. I end up sleeping on the edge of the mattress because the thought of folding it feels painful.”

Scenario Three: Client: “I have a certification exam in two weeks. I need to read this textbook, but after one page, my brain slides off the paper. I read the same paragraph five times and absorb nothing.”
