The Difference Makers Difference
A MAP AS our guide.
We created this guide to help leaders integrate reflective practices into coaching, fostering intentionality, purpose, and emotional intelligence. It keeps them grounded in the present while staying focused on future goals. High-performing leaders and teams use it to gain clarity, communicate effectively, and lead with confidence.
-
Awareness is the foundation of growth and the first step in our coaching process. True leadership begins with a clear understanding of your current reality—where you are today and the factors shaping your journey. This awareness serves as a compass, defining your focus and setting the direction for your future state. Through deep, thought-provoking questions, we challenge assumptions, uncover blind spots, and bring clarity to your goals. By embracing awareness, you create the foundation for intentional progress, ensuring that every coaching session moves you closer to the leader and team you aspire to become.
-
Measurement is the bridge between awareness and progress, ensuring that the path to your desired future remains clear and actionable. Without measurement, even the best intentions can drift off course. Whether through measures of performance, measures of effectiveness, or key performance indicators, tracking progress allows leaders and teams to assess what’s working and where adjustments are needed. These metrics serve as guideposts, confirming alignment with your goals or signaling when a reassessment is necessary. By asking the right questions to identify your performance indicators, we create accountability, maintain focus, and ensure that every step taken moves you closer to lasting success.
-
Agility is the ability to approach goals with flexibility, adaptability, and a willingness to explore multiple paths to success. Effective leaders and teams recognize that there is rarely a single, linear route to their desired future. By examining our future state or intermediate objectives from different angles, they uncover new opportunities and innovative solutions that keep them moving forward. Thoughtful questioning plays a crucial role in this process, exposing alternative pathways and helping determine the best course for growth. By maintaining an agile mindset, leaders ensure their choices align with their personal, professional, and spiritual values, creating a balanced and purpose-driven journey toward success.
-
Preparation is where leaders and teams commit to doing the work necessary for growth. The value of any process comes not just from the outcome but from the journey itself, revealing new insights and strengths along the way. Success is built on preparation, and we take this commitment seriously, ensuring that every engagement is thoughtfully planned and purpose-driven. The preparation of the leader and team sets the conditions for efficient, future success—it is the same in coaching. And when life throws unexpected challenges your way, no worries—we’ll adapt, refocus, and continue moving toward your goals.
-
Action is the decisive step where vision becomes reality. Leaders and teams must take ownership of their journey, transforming insights and strategies into tangible steps forward. Intentions alone don’t create change—action does.Through decisive movement and accountability, progress is measured, and momentum is maintained toward intermediate objectives and long-term success. In every session, we will challenge you to define the actions you or your team need to take and establish clear timelines for execution. By committing to action, you ensure that growth isn’t just a goal—it’s a continuous, forward-moving process.
-
Service is the cornerstone of true leadership and the defining principle of Difference Makers Coaching. Leadership isn’t just about personal success—it’s about using your growth, skills, and influence to uplift others. Servant leaders embody humility, purpose, and a commitment to making a meaningful impact in both their personal and professional spheres. By focusing on service, leaders create lasting change, empowering those around them and fostering environments of trust, collaboration, and excellence. The greatest measure of leadership is not just how far you go but how many lives you positively impact along the way.

The “Define the Operational Approach” step is crucial in establishing a clear understanding of your current reality and articulating your future vision. This session paves the way for developing your unique operational approach by posing deep, thought-provoking questions that delve into your "why" and sense of purpose. These challenging inquiries are designed to draw out key indicators that will help define and measure your progress, while also assisting in the layout of intermediate objectives necessary to reach your future aspirations.

All good things must come to an end, and this is also true for an executive coaching relationship. Ideally, this transition occurs when you have reached your desired future state, though it may take place for various other reasons—and that is perfectly acceptable. Throughout this process, we are confident that you will have gained insights that foster personal, professional, and spiritual growth. As we enter this transition stage, we will continue to partner with you, assessing what strategies and approaches were effective and which were not. Your journey has enriched our experience, and this paves the way for others to benefit.
