Frequently Asked Questions
As you may have never heard of MARSTA Goals®, you might want to know a little more....
What is a MARSTA Goal® and why is it so powerful in the hands of coaches?
MARSTA Goals® is a human-centred, strengths-based and highly adaptable framework that helps coaches, facilitators and leaders structure powerful conversations, drive goal achievement and navigate complexity. Unlike traditional goal-setting methods (e.g., SMART goals), MARSTA goes deeper - it unpacks the real factors that influence success, including obstacles, strengths and planning and implementing strategic actions.
Who is this accreditation for?
This accreditation is for coaches, consultants, facilitators and leaders who want a structured yet flexible framework to guide individuals and leaders through high-impact coaching and goal-setting. If you work with individuals, leaders or professionals and want to:
- Deliver deeper, more structured coaching sessions
- Integrate MARSTA® with other coaching models or business and leadership tools
- Help clients navigate complexity and achieve real results…
...then the MARSTA Goals® Practitioner Accreditation is for you!
How is MARSTA Goals® different from other coaching or goal-setting frameworks?
Most goal-setting frameworks (like SMART goals) are out-dated and generally only focus on the outcome - they tell you what you want to achieve but don’t help you understand why you might struggle to get there.
MARSTA Goals® is different because it:
- Explores the complexity behind success - helping clients identify barriers and enablers rather than just setting a goal.
- Provides a structured yet adaptable framework - it’s a master (MARSTA®) framework that integrates with any coaching approach you already use.
- Works with strengths - rather than ignoring personal strengths, MARSTA® helps clients apply their unique strengths to achieve results and work at their best..
It’s a goal-setting framework that actually works in the real world.
How have other coaches and leaders used MARSTA Goals® successfully?
One powerful example is from an experienced coach working with an interim CEO in an acting role who needed to prove herself within three months to secure a permanent position. Using MARSTA Goals®, she:
- Identified a high-impact business goal that demonstrated her leadership skills.
- Addressed the real concerns of the board so she could position herself effectively.
- Created a clear, strategic action plan that aligned with organisational priorities.
In her first session, she had a powerful, focused goal that was realistic, strategic and aligned with her personal and professional growth.
- She is now thriving in her permanent role
Can I use MARSTA® alongside other coaching tools and methods?
Absolutely! MARSTA® is not a replacement for your existing coaching tools - it’s a master framework that gives you a structured way to apply them.
If you already use these or other methodologies:
- Strengths-based coaching
- NLP techniques
- The GROW model
- Agile or leadership development tools...
Then the MARSTA® framework helps you integrate and apply these approaches more effectively.
