Could knowing the Tilt framework help improve my coaching skills?

For more than a decade, the Tilt framework has been a powerful tool in my own development - boosting my self-awareness, sharpening my ability to influence, and improving team dynamics by helping our team better understand our own and each other’s natural thinking and feeling preferences. It also helped me think beyond whatever problem I was having and look at where my thoughts and feelings were focused.  But I found myself wondering: could this same framework strengthen my coaching skills? As someone newer to coaching, I was looking for something to ground me—something that could give me confidence in how I show up for clients. Tilt did just that.

What I love most about coaching with the Tilt framework is that it’s a whole person model about self-awareness and development.  We all feel with our heart and gut and think about facts and history and have beliefs that guide us toward actions. 

The Tilt framework helps me gain better awareness of my presence in coaching sessions, and it helps me ask better questions of the client—ones that gently challenge assumptions and reveal deeper truths. I’ve seen how clients, through these conversations, find the courage to let go of long-held beliefs and consider bold new possibilities. In this process, clients also move beyond the present moment and begin shaping a vision of the desired future.

So, the answer is YES, the Tilt framework does help improve my coaching skills. Tilt has taught me that when I shift my focus from problems to people, the most extraordinary breakthroughs begin to happen.
