The Energy × Strategy Framework
Understanding leadership states and navigating toward sustainable high performance
Why People Come to Coaching
When a client comes to a session, the first question we ask is: what do you want to work on to move toward your goal?
But over years of practice, I’ve come to see more clearly: goals vary, but the states in which a person finds themselves on the path to those goals are quite typical.
That’s why I started looking deeper—not just at how requests are formulated, but at the internal point where a person is located. And where they want to arrive. This led to this model—simple and very precise. It helps understand from which internal position a person begins their journey, and what actually prevents them from moving forward.
The Two Axes
The model I work with is built on two axes:
Energy
Does a person have strength, resources, emotional engagement? Are they in contact with themselves and their inner drive?
Strategy
Is there clarity, structure, understanding of where and why they’re going? Are goals aligned with values and meanings?
The combination of these two parameters creates four key states—four quadrants. And it’s in one of them that sustainable movement, realization, and leadership emerge.
The Four Quadrants
The Goal of Coaching
Each quadrant is not a diagnosis, but a snapshot in time. We all visit each of them—the question is how long we stay and what helps us move forward.
The main goal of coaching is to help you navigate from your current quadrant to where strategy and energy unite in clear, flowing action. This is the state where you not only know where you’re going, but move there with pleasure, in your own rhythm, with inner support.
Working with me as a coach is not about “motivation.” It’s about restoring access to yourself, your values, and your resources, and building a path that truly suits you. With support, at a pace that feels right.
