Let’s explore how coaching can be a game-changer in navigating challenges and turning them into possibilities.
My aim with these posts is to bring concrete examples of coaching topics and shed light on how coaching can help as a tool for personal and professional development.
A client came to coaching with a difficulty in taking committed action at work. Their behaviour was passive and they used to wait for things to happen to them professionally, or for things to become so frustrating that they would take impulsive action.
They experienced an internal conflict between the complacent part and the part that wants to make things happen.
The complacent part used to “win” this battle.
They used to lack the motivation to do things and they noticed they were drifting without direction.
That made the client’s self-talk harsh and critical, their inner talk was tough and they would put themselves down before even starting.
Throughout the coaching process, I helped the client become aware of the steps they need to take, in order to obtain what they want professionally.
The client understood and accepted that small steps are key to their behaviour change from passive to proactive.
They defined and started taking small actions and by doing that, they became more prone to action and succeeded in changing from a work style based on quick rewards, to a more disciplined one.
As a result, the client shifted their thinking from “I don’t feel like doing X” to “I need to do X and I will reward myself with Y once I do it”.
They now prioritise certain tasks, they are more inclined to start with the hard tasks and are now more organised.
