From Mediocre Coach to Great Coach: The Coach Training Secret of How to Become a Personal Coach
Coach Training That You’d Rather Forget: Keys to Become a Personal Coach
If you really want to become a personal coach who gets results, you are going to have to be totally honest. We know from coach training that as the leader, your client will follow you. But if you don’t show up being fully engaged in a session, how can you expect your client to do otherwise? They will follow you into the land of mediocrity. If you have any messy issues that have come up in the past few days that you have swept under the rug, you will fail to really connect with your client. You will run and hide, and no amount of coach training will save you from having one of “those” sessions that you prefer not to remember.
Unless you are really honest and fully engaged, you are not going to be able to become a personal coach who can lead your clients to great results. You won’t inspire them. And you can’t lead them to play full out and really take risks if you aren’t willing to take on those risks yourself.
Waiting for Coach Training to Free You From ‘No Man’s Land’? Don’t Expect to Become a Personal Coach…
To become a personal coach who is a leader means you go first. Most people are just hanging out, waiting for the next thing to happen. They are not being real. In Dr. Seuss’s book, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” he refers to a waiting room where people are just waiting for things to happen. For a bus to come, or the phone to ring. Just waiting. Maybe it’s just waiting for that perfect coach training that will finally give you the answers you’re looking for.
