Five states of mind—efficacy, flexibility, craftsmanship, consciousness, interdependence—are internal resources that enlighten one’s awareness and provide the impetus that motivates and inspires one’s intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual capacities toward higher levels of performance. Costa & Garmston (Cognitive Coaching, 2002) proposed that these human forces unite the expression of wholeness in an individual. The five states of mind are continuously developing; therefore, coaching is an effective tool in strengthening these resources.
