Freedom of choice

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.

Why coaching (and why you need to coach)

Because..

People have choices and they just need to know..

A company can have the best strategy, but you can't do anything without the best (of) people..

Leaders do it anyway..

Incremental growth sucks..

People matter..

Add on!

Questions

Questions. For some reason I avoided taking this on. I figured this had been a cliché in my life. Questions. I’ve dealt with that long enough, there must be SOMETHING else I could start this blog with. And I realised I was being stupid. Questions are fundamental to breakthroughs. Questions are fundamental to coaching and shifting businesses, people, and our lives altogether. There’s no better way to start this blog.

“The quality of our questions determine the quality of our life”, a favourite, quoted by Tony Robbins, fits the bill. If you’d like to put this principle to test, it’s pretty easy. But before we do that, you’ve got to get aware of one thing ; you ask yourself questions all the time. ALL the time. And right now, you’re probably asking yourself if you do. The brain works with questions. I’m not going to explain that, I don’t intend for this blog to be THAT long. You’re just going to have to take my ( and every book that talks about it) word for it.

First off, here’s a question that most people ask ; What’s wrong with me? Let’s analyse this. Now, what answer to that question could POSSIBLY have me live a great life? No matter what the answer is, It's going to mess me up. Here’s a second question that’s pretty common : Can I really do this? The answer is pretty simple. It’s a yes or a no. So basically, with that question, there’s a 50% chance that it’ll work out the way I want it to. How could I make a million dollars? Now here’s a question that works. I have no idea what the answer is, but whatever it is, it’s a new way to make a million dollars. What questions do you most often ask yourself? The easiest way to shift your life and anybody else is through the questions you ask. I doubt there’s an easier way. But hey.. What if there is one?
