THE TREE OF BALANCE METHOD: A STRUCTURED VISUAL APPROACH TO ENHANCIN G INNER BALANCE IN C OACHING PRACTICE
In the modern environment of coaching complexity, more and more tools encouraging genuine inner reflection and long-term inner balance are gaining wider recognition. The TREE of Balance Method is a visual metaphor-driven model that is expected to enable one to understand their personal condition in four interconnected dimensions: Trunk, Roots, Extensions (Crown), and Energy. Initially, it was developed within coaching contexts focused on internal balance and resource-based reflection. It has found relevance in leadership, education, and organizational development contexts. It offers a simple yet psychologically grounded framework through which clients can access their current reality, psychological foundations, creativity, and internal energy. As opposed to conventional models of coaching, which tend to be deeply rooted in a strictly diagnostic or solution-focused process, the TREE of Balance offers a softer and non-linear discovery into what is already there within. One of the key strengths isits non-judgmental accessibility to clients who can visualize their internal experiences and discover where energy is flowing or blocked. The approach can initiate us toward a more balanced and embodied sense of ourselves through small and deliberate steps to explore what feels stable, what is missing, and what is emerging. The present article introduces the TREE of Balance as an innovative teaching practice based on a visual metaphor and the theory of internal resources. It explores the method’s theoretical foundations, its applied framework, and its practical relevance in the field of modern coaching.The approach encourages coaches and clients to take a break, ponder, and recalibrate, not by correcting, but by compassionate understanding and contact withthe inner system.
