47. Turning The Coaching Switch Off

What do you do when you are NOT in a coaching session, and
someone brings up a challenge they are going through?


You may naturally be showing up as a coach in all contexts
without realizing it, even in contexts where you aren't coaching
a client.


You might have people call you out and say, "Are you coaching me
right now?!"


But, because someone is complaining about a problem does not mean
they want to solve it.


And, because you are a coach does not mean you are
obligated to be the listening ear for your friends and family's
problems all the time.


It's appropriate to be coach-like, but not to be someone's coach
(if they aren't your client).


If someone is not your client, their problems are not your
responsibility. 


So, how do you turn your coaching switch "off" and still show up
with compassion?


In this episode, I share how to turn off your "coaching switch"
so you can show up neutrally to your friends, family, and
significant other.
