The context for this blog article is situations where clients stay in an indecisive state.The coach simply creates an environment where freedom, power and possibility are available. At no point must the coach have an expectation from the person. Coaches operate from the paradigm of giving the person freedom of choice. The lines mentioned above are a biggie.
The beauty of coaching lies in it being absolutely non- judgemental. The truth is coaches create a huge difference just by suspending judgement. The biggest fear that people have is being judged (well, atleast one of the fears). By giving them freedom of choice, personal opinions are what they are – personal. They’re yours. They aren’t right, they aren’t wrong. Just yours.
A coach’s job is to have people see the choices available and the consequences of making a choice. More importantly, a coach shows them something essential – that they can choose right now, any time they want.
Confession : I throw in opinions all the time. I just let people know that they are opinions, not the truth.
