The i•dive digital
coaching method
The i•dive method sits within the field of e-coaching: the use of digital tools to ensure continuity throughout the development journey.
Research shows how digital tools can strengthen learning, extending support beyond the sessions and fostering reflection and application in everyday work (Passmore & Fillery-Travis, 2011).
In our approach, technology enhances the relationship rather than replacing it, providing support between one session and the next with activities, exercises and in-depth content.
How it came about
The i•dive method was born from the integration of professional coaching and digital technology, to sustain behavioral change over time, and develops through three integrated dimensions:
Focus
Defining a development goal that is clear and relevant to the person’s professional role.
02
Effort
Experimenting with new actions and behaviors in daily work.
Continuity over time
Ongoing support that helps the person maintain their commitment to change.
The steps of the method
The steps of the i•dive method describe the phases of a structured journey that guides the person in strong>developing awareness, goals and behaviors at work.
Each phase is designed to activate change progressively, integrating reflection, action and continuity over time.
Whether you have already completed an assessment in your company or discussed your development with your manager, the i•dive Check Point offers you a space for structured self-reflection.
Follow the questions to observe your professional moment — how you approach situations, make decisions and relate to others — preparing for the next step.
It is not a judgmental evaluation, but a solid, conscious foundation to start from. It helps you clarify what you really want to work on and prepare for the next step: defining your change goal.
This is where you decide what you really want to work on.
What change would have the greatest impact on your work and your team’s? Where is it worth investing energy to achieve concrete results in the future?
The goal may emerge from a conversation with your manager, a session with your coach or the results of a 360° assessment. It is a conscious choice about where to direct your commitment to change.
Access a space built around you, designed to train your awareness and observe what happens in your work context.
Here you find your conversations with your team of coaches, the session calendar, the training gyms, tools for requesting feedback, reflective experiences and the monitoring of your progress.
It is the space that accompanies and sustains the entire journey.
Your coaching team is not chosen by an algorithm, but selected by the i•dive team: professionals who work with people every day. Coaching is effective when the relationship is solid and meaningful.
In over 10 years of experience and more than 3,000 completed journeys, we have received only two requests to change coach — a figure that confirms how essential care in matching truly is.
A choice based on who you are and where you want to go.
Sessions with your team of coaches are the heart of the journey: a structured space of reflection and accountability, based on the partnership between coach and coachee.
In these sessions you explore your goals, question habitual patterns, broaden your perspectives and turn everyday experience into conscious learning.
It is the space where you pause, observe what is happening and make clearer decisions about how to move forward.
Coaching does not end with the single session. With the F.E.I. method (Focus, Effort, Insistence), transformation happens above all between one meeting and the next, when the goal stays alive in daily work, sustained by commitment and perseverance.
This is where insistence comes into play: the ability to keep working on your own change over time, maintaining focus despite the complexity of professional life.
You will receive personalized, human support, helping you maintain direction and awareness. In the Digital Gyms you find exercises, prompts and micro-experiences that bring the journey into everyday working life.
It is in this space that what emerges in the sessions takes concrete shape and new behaviors become habits.
The journey adapts as you change. Through feedback from the people you work with, you begin to see more clearly how your way of thinking, acting and making decisions is evolving.
Feedback is one of the pillars of our method: coaches integrate it into the journey to sustain concrete change and help organizations develop a true feedback culture over time.
This principle is consistent with the Johari Window model, developed by psychologists Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham, which shows how exchange with others genuinely broadens our awareness of ourselves and our behaviors.

What makes the i•dive method unique
The i•dive method does not simply deliver coaching journeys: it designs them to generate concrete, lasting change at work.
An approach that integrates relationships, organizational context and continuity over time.
At the foundation of the method are a few principles that guide our work with people and organizations:
Developing autonomy
The journey is effective when people become more autonomous and aware, able to read situations, make decisions and activate their own resources in daily work.
Working in dialogue with the organization
Journeys are designed together with HR functions and leaders, to be consistent with the context and adapt over time to the real needs of people and teams.
Returning value to companies
Through aggregated data and qualitative insights, we provide a reading of what emerges from the journeys, always respecting the confidentiality of professional coaching.
Ensuring continuity over time
Change requires time, reinforcement and presence. This is why we complement the sessions with continuous support, dedicated content and digital tools that help maintain focus and concretely transfer learning into everyday work.
