We spend our days becoming better coaches. We read the books, do the training, be part of WBECS. We polish our questions and our presence and our processes. We’re on the path towards mastery.
But a coaching relationship is a relationship. There’s another person involved. And when the coachee is good, it’s great. You finish a session and you fist-pump: I love my client, I love my job, I LOVE COACHING!
And, more times than we’d care to admit, a coaching conversation can be a little bit … meh. Not terrible, exactly. But underwhelming, somewhat ho-hum.
In this provocative, interactive and surprisingly enjoyable webinar, we’ll take a good look at the dark side of coaching. We’ll look at some of the ways our clients can subtly or perhaps not so subtle opt out of showing up fully, and how we as coaches can collaborate.
A major pitfall of all coaches is to focus on the topics or problems clients bring to their sessions. When you follow this path, you might help them explore and choose options, but you don’t find the reasons the problems occurred and are difficult to solve. You coach the external problem instead of the person. As a result, the problem will show up over and over in many ways in the future. In this scenario, you act more of a guide than coach. If you instead shift to being curious as to why your smart and resourceful clients can’t figure out these solutions on their own, you will be able to discover what needs to be addressed in a way that your clients can see solutions and possibilities on their own. You expand their thinking and create more breakthrough experiences. This session will help you shift from problem solving to coaching the human in front of you. You will rapidly advance your mastery of coaching skills.
