AC109 Confidence (3)-Reflection on this session

Moderator-Michael Moniv

Yesterday, I took a teleclass course, AC109 Confidence (3), I really got inspired about the sentence: “ Simple question may change a lot” which is shared by Michael.

One of the main things that holds a new coach back and sometimes a more seasoned coach, is confidence. Perhaps we fear we do not have anything of value to offer. This could not be further from the truth. We all have something to offer our clients based upon our life experiences and because of simply who we are.

Consider how powerful a coach you will be when you can improve a client's life. Not by changing all their circumstances - which they are busily trying to do - but by Re-framing their perspective.Is it matter to me some years later? This is a very powerful question which we can ask ourselves to shift perspective while we don’t fell confidence, just make focusing on the future.

Understanding your value: For most new coaches, one of the biggest blocks is doubt in oneself. We're usually worried that without being extensive in an area, we might not have done enough. Worse yet, we believe we will be called a fraud. Or what if, at some point in the session, we don't have an answer, or don’t know what to say? So here's the message for us: We have a lot to offer! Such as: Listening/Partnering in their success/a different perspective/our life experience… etc

Re-framing your personal perspective: How comfortable do you feel five minutes before a coaching session? How do we feel if it doesn’t go as planned? Are we comfortable enough to invite ALL of our friends and colleagues to experience a coaching session with me? If we’re not free to coach, it’s probably because of our own Perspective. For example, if we feel that people have serious problems, which MUST be fixed, we might feel some pressure, or reluctance, even concern as a coach to move forward. Just as we support our clients to distinguish a Perspective, and Re-Frame it, we should do the same. we will know when we have made the mental shift, because we will feel complete freedom to coach anyone.

I enjoyed this session very much, thank you so much, Michael and all attendants' input during the course.
