Continuing from the previous blog, the client and I talked about different approaches to coaching including an option of exploring what she wanted and then focusing on building her confidence.\u00a0 This option is taught in the Certified Professional Coach<\/a> program and was explored with the client.\u00a0After reviewing options, the client made her choice and the coaching started.\u00a0\"COACHING<\/p>\n

During the opening session as Katrina explored what she wanted, she used self-limiting language.\u00a0 She doubted her ability to achieve all she wanted.\u00a0 Katrina, like so many of us have been, was at a time in her life where her confidence was low.\u00a0 Because of this, we explored creating a tool to support her confidence, create a sense of positive and proactive empowerment, and keep her focused on moving toward her goals.<\/p>\n

The tool used for Katrina was her affirmation story.\u00a0 This means her story in the present tense describing her being on track for achieving her goals.\u00a0 The story used Katrina\u2019s positive and proactive language (consistently asked for throughout the opening session) and her specific goals.\u00a0 We scheduled time for Katrina to hear her story read to her as a guided visualization exercise.\u00a0 Katrina shared that the first time she listened she was resistant to it becoming real.\u00a0After hearing it multiple times she said she began accepting the possibility.\u00a0 The story is now a tool for Katrina to use independently to support her focus and motivation.\u00a0 An additional benefit for Katrina is that her story builds her confidence because it positively describes her creating her future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
