As a coach, you anticipate potential problems and ask questions. You partner with your client to strategize for their best solution. Sometimes a client is faced with circumstances that feel worse-case and the balance, perspective, and forward focus you provide as a coach are instrumental in for the client to effectively consider options and make decisions.

\nIn the last blog post, options for preventing foreclosure involved anticipating the challenge and taking steps for different possibilities. Now consider coaching a client that is losing their home to foreclosure.<\/p>\n
1. What considerations might your coaching client want to explore? When losing a home, family relationships are affected, friendships might change, stress levels affect focus at work, and if there are children there are added concerns about school and other activities.<\/p>\n
* How do you want to process your considerations now?<\/p>\n
* What is your plan for communicating with family, friends, and colleagues?<\/p>\n
2. How does the client want to plan their move? Faced with balancing family concerns, finances, legal considerations, and the loss of the home, some coaching clients benefit from talking through the considerations for moving.<\/p>\n
* Brainstorm options for where to move. How do you want to choose?
\n* What is your timeline? Plan specific action steps.<\/p>\n
3. What does the client you coach want to consider for their own balance during the process? Confidence and self-care often get moved to the bottom of the list when life is over-whelming. As the coach, are you asking your client how they plan to balance?<\/p>\n
* How do you want to balance your needs during this process?
\n* What works for you to focus forward?<\/p>\n
After a coaching client has moved through their transition, explore what worked for them, what they want to learn for the future, and what their focus is now for moving forward.<\/p>\n
