A poor coach focuses on someone’s PROBLEM only.
They use their resources and build DEPENDENCY.
This is how it sounds:
“Could you not get up earlier to have less stress?”
“Here’s what you could do to improve that relationship…”
A great coach instead focuses on the PERSON.
They help others access their resources and build INDEPENDENCE.
It sounds like this:
“What’s YOUR challenge in overcoming this?”
“What can YOU control or influence to make it happen?”
Focus on the PERSON, not the PROBLEM!
