6. Coaching vs Coddling

There is a fine line between coaching and coddling. One question
to assess yourself is: How comfortable are you with your client's
discomfort?


As coaches, we must be OK with our clients being in pain.
Coaching is a messy, painful process. That's what makes it so
transformational.


You are not coaching to get your client's approval. And, you are
NOT coaching to make your client feel good.


This doesn't mean you have to be a mean drill sergeant to your
client. But it does mean you have to be firm, direct,
curious and willing to challenge your client's thinking.


When you stop coddling and start coaching, your clients actually
get better results. They will respect you. You will bring out the
BEST version of them. In this episode, I show you how to get it
done.
