Sometimes a client is faced with an urgent challenge and focuses on the Doing.\u00a0 The deep learning and meaningful change come with the Being.<\/p>\n

\"Symbiotic
Symbiotic relationship<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In any given coaching<\/a> session, it is the client\u2019s choice to focus on one, the other, or both.\u00a0 It is also the client\u2019s choice how to have the conversation.\u00a0Some clients choose to think out loud and they may want to coach to rephrase, share observations, take notes, or simply listen.\u00a0 Other clients choose to brainstorm with their coach participating by adding ideas.\u00a0Sometimes clients want to be asked pros and cons or best case, worst case, and most likely outcomes.\u00a0 Alternatively, a client may choose to develop lists and rank, self-evaluate, or take an assessment.\u00a0 For the coach this means having the ability to dance in the moment and flex to what the client wants comes with coach training<\/a> and with practice.\u00a0It means being comfortable with multiple tools and approaches to have options and\/or to co-create with the knowledge of different tools and approaches informing questions.<\/p>\n

What does this mean?\u00a0 At the start of a coaching session, the coach asks the client what they want to focus on.\u00a0 The coach then explores what specifically the client wants to accomplish during the conversation, what this means to the client, and how they will measure the success of the coaching session.\u00a0 Then the coach asks the client how the want to proceed with the conversation.<\/p>\n

When a client does want to work on the Doing, the coach will ask about specific objectives, potential challenges, strategies, and action steps.\u00a0 When a client wants deeper learning, the coach will incorporate the Being and ask about how a client is using specific words, observe and ask about energy shifts, explore meaning, and ask the client what they are learning.<\/p>\n

Both the Doing and the Being have significant value, and together they are powerful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
