A Career Life Coach Can Bring Out The Genius in a Person

What is genius? How do we measure it? We have access to IQ tests, and now EQ tests are thought by some to be a more accurate indicator of success. But there is also musical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and mathematical intelligence. What would your coaching career look like if everyone you worked with was a genius?

Is There a Way a Career Life Coach Can Bring Out the Genius in Their Clients?

We know that geniuses play at what most people work at. Hopefully you find this to be true for your own coaching career. What happens when we play? We become deeply entranced in that activity and loose track of the time. We often see children so engaged in an activity that they don’t hear their own name being called. Now that’s focus! As a career life coach how can you recreate that type of focus for your clients?

Find ways to become a career life coach who helps their clients play more. Wouldn’t this be a fun coaching career? Take a look at what your clients are doing now that they really enjoy. Is there an aspect of their work that can be turned into a game? If so, what are the objectives? How do they win? Who can they “play with” to make it even more fun?

Become a career life coach who helps their clients identify what aspects of their job they find most enjoyable. What would they be willing to do even if they didn’t get paid for it? Sometimes skill sets don’t match up with interests, and that can be O.K. When someone is enjoying what they do, they will be motivated to put in the practice or time to expand their knowledge. The good news is that genius can be learned.

What Would Your Coaching Career Look Like if You Could Fill Your Practice With These Clients?

A career life coach who can put the play into work has the power to help people find their inner genius. And if you can do that with your own coaching career, you will find yourself operating at the level of a genius as well.
