Have you had the impulse to rescue your coaching client from themselves?

No shame. Just tell yourself the truth here.

It’s a knee jerk desire that’s belied by your

·      energy

·      words

·      over-delivery

·      attachment to outcome

I get it!

You want so much to have a big impact that the basic tenets of coaching—that your client is resourceful and whole and your relationship is co-creative—are overridden.

If you are guilty of jumping into fix-it mode in sessions, don’t stress but DO STOP IT! 

Track what’s driving you during coaching sessions.

Right motivation is the anchor of masterful coaching.

As a 2 on the Enneagram, I’ve had to work hard at this, my friends, and it’s worth it!

Allow your client to take the lead in their own transformation with a simple internal process to manage your motives, which I’ll walk you through in this short episode of Prosperous Coach Podcast.
