The best advice I can give you after a full year of practice

The best advice I can give you after my first full year of coaching others.Since January 2021 I´ve coached very different clients in all kinds of fields (pharma/ education/ technology....), with very different titles (senior executive/ housewife/ business owner...), and with more than 10 nationalities (Swiss/ Spanish/ Ivorian/ Italian/ Argentinian...).I've been very impressed, and sometimes very intimidated, by the intelligence and topics that my clients bring to coaching.I've learned so much from each one of them. I love the connection that coaching brings, and I've realized that only from a solid relationship can we have the top-quality sessions that all coaches aim for. A good session is one where both parts accept their vulnerability and co-create towards achieving that same goal.I’ve had the luxury to coach any topic that has emerged as I don't have a niche yet (and maybe never will). I've coached on hundreds of topics from 100% business-oriented topics (prepare a future leadership role/ difficult conversations/ performance...) to personal development topics (self-care/ self-confidence/ strengths/ motivation...) to meaning-making topics (balance/ values/ mission and purpose...).✔ Looking at all these experiences, the best piece of advice I can give you is to know yourself. Get to know yourself deeply!!No matter your seniority or education, the more objective data you have about yourself, your thoughts and your inner dialogue, the more will you be able to build the person you want to be. Our thoughts are abstract and automatic, we don't have time to analyze them and we shouldn't. What we should do is to get the right support to learn how to regulate them.Depending on how we evaluate an external event, we will have a different type of emotion. The awareness of that emotion will give us a feeling. Learning to navigate our universe of emotions can only bring benefits.
