Welcome to Change Coach Conversations! I’ll be sharing these conversations specifically for people interested in using this new paradigm to support others.
Each week will be a different short conversation around having more impact with your clients and making a living as a coach.
I’ll list the schedule of topics below so you can see what’s coming up.
CONVERSATION #1: THE ONE THING THAT HELPS ANY CLIENT WITH ANYTHING (NO MORE WHACK-A-MOLE, NO MORE HABIT-SWAPPING)
Nothing is worse than client whack-a-mole.
You spend a lot of time exploring something they face—a disagreement with their partner, their worry about their aging parents, or their concern about their weight. Or maybe it’s a specific habit like binge eating, hiding in Netflix, or buying more self-help books.
They go away with a bit of clarity. Maybe a lot of clarity. Seeing partner/parents/weight, or eating/Netflix/books differently.
But then they come around next week with a remarkably similar issue. They say, “okay, my partner and I are good! But now it’s my parents.” Or “yay, I didn’t binge eat all week, but I binge-watched 20 hours of Netflix.
Nothing has changed—at least not nearly as deep as we want it to. They are seeing partner/parents/weight/habits through their thinking. Through their understanding of life. And that understanding hasn’t shifted. As long as that’s the case, get ready for whack-a-mole.
How do you end whack-a-mole? How do you stop habit-swapping? You help your clients see something that underlies every single thing they do.
Every single issue they are facing, no matter what it is.
You help them insightfully see how ALL human experience works.
This is not what people think they want or need, so I wouldn’t recommend advertising this. But between us coaches, that’s exactly what you’re doing, and it’s the most wonderful news ever for them and us.
It’s fantastic news for them because there’s no more whack-a-mole. No more uncertainty, no more everything-looking-personal, no more confusion about WHY they are experiencing what they are experiencing. What you share goes deep and spreads to where it’s needed.
It is far more efficient, more profound, more accessible, and more impactful.
And it’s lovely news for us coaches for the same reasons. We want efficiency and ease and impact, too. It is simple and universal. Knowing that you’re sharing something that can help anyone with anything helps you sleep at night, knowing that you pointed your client in the RIGHT place. And the impact you have is phenomenal for business.
I can’t tell you what a difference this one thing has made in my impact with clients. And I can’t tell you what effect has played on my confidence as a coach and, therefore, my business success.
I used to think I might not know how to help some people. I have absolutely no reservations about coaching ANYONE now. Honestly, not everyone will be impacted in the same way, but we can see how human experience works and that has a great chance of moving anyone with any issue.
