Remember the military policy in the 90’s—Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell? Well here at Radiance we train our coaches to Ask, Don’t Tell.
It seems almost human nature to problem solve and we certainly were conditioned to become big time problem solvers through the education we all were given. But as coaches, this urge to do so actually gets in the way of being an exceptional coach, one who empowers the client to find their own solutions and solve their own problems.
Have you ever shared with a friend a situation you are struggling with and the friend jumps in and gives you their opinion, their solutions tells you what they think you should do? How does that feel? Sometimes helpful, maybe. Don’t we all just really want to be listened to deeply, received heart centered empathy and caring for what we are going through?
We at Radiance remind our students that the biggest contribution we give our clients is space to express themselves, empathy and caring for what is present in their lives, and to EMPOWER them to access their own inner wisdom and discover the best solution for themselves that only they can know. What a gift. One that can be used again and again to create their desired life.
When we are remember we are at cause in our lives and that we have the power to create the life we dream of, anything is possible.
How do you empower your clients?
