The transformation starts when you discover your blind spot. ✨
We, as coaches, hold the mirror for the clients to look at themselves. Most of the time a long-term change happens because once you know something, you cannot un-know it. Only when the person is not interested in being coached will the transformation not take place.
Many robust empirical studies prove that in-depth transformational coaching works, as do more directive approaches such as skills coaching. In the first approach coaches just need to develop different techniques and a stronger relationship with their clients.
Of course the more you know, the richer your coaching. The more emotional intelligence, positive psychology or neuroscience studies coaches have, the more tools and resources we possess to support our clients.
But, no matter the technique or the approach you use, in coaching the most important tool is always the coach.
Have a great day!
