Conversation Highlights
How does life coach training benefit professionals who aren't necessarily planning to “become a coach”?
It gives you the skills to:
- Ask the right questions of clients, employees, and business partners so they can arrive at their own unique solutions.
- Create an emotionally safe environment for employees so that more creativity can emerge.
- Recognize that when you offer guidance and advice, that there’s no guarantee the other person has actually heard and understood it. (And what to do instead!)
- Shift from a “prescriptive” consulting relationship to approaching projects in a way that develops self efficacy and agency for the client.
- Dig deeper to go beyond what a client says they want and find out what they really need.
- Remove your ego from the process so you can center the client, and why that’s so important.
- Move beyond the “desire to be liked” so that you can become a conduit for someone else’s experience.
- Experience the impact that comes with being completely present and listening deeply to another person.
