Questions About RISE™

What is the RISE™ Coaching Framework?

RISE™ is PSC’s structured coaching framework:

  • Reflect on the current reality and intended outcome.

  • Investigate the underlying causes, assumptions and barriers.

  • Strategise practical options, priorities and actions.

  • Execute with accountability, review and adjustment.

RISE™ can be used across business, executive, career and life-coaching engagements.

Is RISE™ used in every PSC coaching programme?

Yes. RISE™ can support Personal & Life, Sales, Business, Executive and Leadership Coaching.

The coaching context differs, but the underlying process of reflection, exploration, choice and action remains relevant across these areas.

Can RISE™ be used for Life, Sales, Business and Executive Coaching?

Yes. RISE™ is PSC’s core coaching framework and can be applied across Personal & Life, Sales Performance, Business Performance, and Executive & Leadership Coaching.

The subject matter may differ, but the underlying coaching process remains relevant:

  • Reflect on the current situation

  • Investigate assumptions, perspectives and possibilities

  • Strategise around meaningful options and priorities

  • Execute through client-owned actions and next steps

This allows PSC to use one consistent coaching methodology while adapting the conversation to the client’s specific context, objectives and level of responsibility.

How is RISE™ different from ASCEND™?

ASCEND™ helps determine what requires attention within the business.

RISE™ helps the client decide how to move forward through reflection, investigation, strategy and execution.

A client may begin with ASCEND™ to diagnose the wider business situation and then use RISE™ to structure the coaching and implementation process.

Does RISE™ mean the coach develops the strategy and action plan for me?

No. RISE™ supports clients in:

Reflecting → Investigating → Strategising → Executing

but the client retains ownership of decisions, actions and implementation.
