Q&A
My coaching style is to show the client that they can meet their goals and be where they want to be. I do not tell clients how to do something, but instead, I help them determine their path and build a plan for success. This ultimately results in their increased confidence and a general sense of well-being. I also feel I have a good ability to sense people’s needs and emotions. I read body language and tone of voice very well and can tell when there is more that they need to tell me. I then use that sense to ask additional questions to “peel back the onion” to expose more of what may be getting in the way of their goals.
I have had clients with various backgrounds, but generally I like to work with professionals who are responsible for the delivery of a product or solution. These could be program managers, project managers, change managers or individual contributors in any size organization. I also like to work with younger adults who have so much potential and just need some help building the confidence to use it.
Ultimately when they achieve what they set out to achieve, but in the interim, when they say things like, “I’ve never thought of it that way before, ” or “That’s an excellent question.” When they say things like that, I can see the impact the sessions are having on the client. I also feel successful when the client has the confidence to do something they would not have done before our sessions.
Building Confidence by pulling as opposed to pushing. Getting the client to realize for themselves that they can achieve what they set out to do.
Also, getting to “Why”. Not only understanding what is important to a client, but why it is important. We focus often on the what’s and how’s but when we truly understand the why, clarity, motivation, confidence, and success increase.
Finally, I motivate clients by celebrating their successes and holding them accountable to stay on the journey to success.
