Let's KEEP it real ;), if you're reading this, it's more than likely you feel like coaching may be your calling, you have had an experience with a coach that has you curious about this field and/or you are coaching at some level (you are who people come to for advice, direction or you are in a leadership role).
And you want to know more about "coaching". Specifically "Transformational Coaching". Awesome! Let's look at how to keep it real (keep it authentic) when coaching, which means YOU need to be authentic.
Sounds SUPER easy right? You would think, but so many of us are operating in "performing" mode (which is opposite from being real & authentic), DOING what we think is the right thing as a leader, giving the right advice a confidant, all the great answers that sound good! But, in the end, those that come to us for advice tor hose that we lead, aren't experiencing that "transformation"- the results that they are seeking.
Let's take the other person out of the equation (which means what is their level of commitment, responsibility in their own life) and focus on ourselves as coaches or coaches in the making.
What are some key elements that the life of an authentic coach has?
Glad. You. Asked :).
#1: They are committed to their own personal growth process, have experienced transformation themselves, are life-long learners and have a coach of their own and/or have been coached.
What does this boil down to: They walk the talk (boom, drop mic). They aren't coaching you from just head knowledge, but first hand belief that since they have experienced transformation, you can too.
#2: They are present with people. This can't be overstated! This goes beyond just paying attention or keeping a blank mind to keep yourself from trying to think ahead to have a ready answer (although that IS good) - it's the ability to see the mind of another person. When someone feels truly heard, understood and felt, self-compassion & self-acceptance emerge quite easily!
#3: They are authentic. They are themselves. Transparently offering those they work with their unique personal style, skills, life experiences, intuitive sense, & other strengths! Because they are authentic, relationships and sessions with clients flow effortlessly and bring great value to the people they work with.
