So many of my coaches are concerned with getting the coaching ‘right’ or perfect. Yes, it’s a wonderful intent to want to improve and master this amazing approach. But unless you let go of any missteps, accept your humanness, and realize there’s no going backwards, you cannot choose mastery.
We often mouth the words mistakes are learning experiences, that failure is a given and happens to everyone. Yet do we fully step into this truth?
In ICF Competency 2: Embodies a Coaching Mindset is something we MUST pursue for ourselves if we are to demonstrate this in our coaching. When it comes to your coaching, are you open, curious, and flexible? Do you really know that one doesn’t need to be confident to learn? You just must be confident that you’re committed fully to this process, which is an ongoing, life-time goal. The only choice is to keep going. Don’t get stuck in a limiting belief that you are not a good coach.
In the current ICF PCC Marker Training we are encouraged to “Regularly access all aspects of yourself (intellect, emotions, physicality, intuition) and see how your ways of being might impact how you evaluate.” That’s my invitation to you when you review your own coaching.
