Frequently Asked Questions

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 strategic actions.

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 leadership tools

✅ Help clients navigate complexity and achieve real results…

...then the Goal MARSTA® Accreditation is for you!

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.

It’s a goal-setting framework that actually works in the real world.

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 just 45 minutes, she had a powerful, focused goal that was realistic, strategic, and aligned with her personal and professional growth.

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.
