Coaching is mostly about helping clients solve their challenges or achieve goals by making them aware of factors that are stopping them from moving further in life. Most of the times clients are struggling with their life issues or roadblocks due to their own way of managing them or reacting to them, and less to do with external factors on which we don’t have control anyway.
Internal factors or ways of managing things becomes part fo who we are, and even when we are made aware of them , thanks to a good coach, it is still extremely difficult to change it. It is difficult because our way of managing life has made us what we are today and most of the times we are very proud of what we are, clearly neglecting what can we become if we manage our way of managing life better.
A good coach will not just make us realise of our way of managing life, but also help us see a brighter future if we manage it better. For which the big ask is change in behaviour , and after everything we go though in life to become what we become, changing behaviour seems challenging, and even if we agree to do it, actually doing it is much harder, because every step of behaviour change makes us uncomfortable and forces us to question its value.
Coaching sessions outcome is number of action items agreed between coach and the client, and every action item rolls upto a desired goal achievement. Even though clients know that ever action item is a step towards achieving the desired goal, it doesn’t ease up the pain of doing it. And every time we come across an obstacle, we like to rethink our division of getting into changing oneself.
