Coaching clients often want inspiration and motivation.\u00a0\u00a0Tap into their inner expertise and bring out their brilliant nature.\u00a0\u00a0They know what they want.<\/p>\n

Help them remember WHY they want it.\u00a0\u00a0A WHY is a strong motivator.\u00a0\u00a0It is the very reason that they created their goal in the first place.\u00a0\u00a0Perhaps your client wants to release weight, for example.\u00a0\u00a0The WHY might be because their knees hurt or they miss out on playing with their children like they want to, or it may be because they want to feel good in their clothes and have more energy.<\/p>\n

Asking questions to provoke the WHY and building their self-affirmation can truly support them to see the possibilities for the future when motivation wanes.<\/p>\n

An affirmation story is one tool that a coach can co-create with the client in very positive, flowing language.\u00a0\u00a0It helps the client envision and create their desired future when recorded in the client\u2019s voice and listened consistently.<\/p>\n

Recognize accomplishments and reward them along the way.\u00a0\u00a0Motivation is built in a positive and proactive way using rewards.\u00a0\u00a0Ask the client how they recognize and reward themselves.<\/p>\n

Simply having a coach for accountability check-ins and brainstorming is motivation.\u00a0\u00a0People will perform well just to share progress and success with their coach.\u00a0\u00a0Coaches can also brainstorm with clients to create extra motivation when their clients run out of ideas.<\/p>\n

Coaching<\/a> is ideal for garnering motivation because it deals with exploring where a client is, where they want to go, and supporting them creating an action plan to get there.\u00a0\u00a0Along the way, motivation is a natural occurrence in coaching.\u00a0\u00a0It is simply part of the conversation of how to get from here to there.<\/p>\n
