What’s inside the PDF
A clear, practical breakdown of the five actions that create cohesive, transformational groups:
Deepen(Insight): Support self-awareness and reflection that lead to meaningful shifts.
Open(Curiosity + Movement): Spark forward action through inquiry and autonomy-supportive questioning.
Lean(Support): Build belonging and emotional connection through peer support structures.
Inspire(Challenge + Storytelling): Create“stretch” moments: challenge with care, not judgment.
X-Factor(Trust):Build trust and create psychological safety so people can take risks, be honest, and grow.
Bonus: A page of ready-to-run session activities for each element.
Why The DOLIX Model® works(and why it’s not a checklist)
The DOLIX Model® is a dynamic helix, not a linear sequence. Use it as a live“session design compass” to sense what the group needs next(trust, insight, movement, support, or challenge).
Who this is for
Group coaches who want a repeatable way to create cohesion and transformation
Facilitators and leaders running peer groups, cohorts, or internal coaching circles
Coaches who value ICF alignment(includes competency mapping)
