These factors include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Coachability<\/li>\n<li>Desire<\/li>\n<li>Goals<\/li>\n<li>Trust<\/li>\n<li>Workable action plan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, psychology involves the brain and the brain is a highly complex \u2013 there are plenty of other factors that come into play with the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>psychology of coaching<\/strong><\/span>, but we\u2019ll stick to these few for a brief discussion of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton as it relates to the psychology of coach practice and skills.<\/p>\n<h3>Coaching the Candidates \u2013 Trump and Clinton<\/h3>\n<p><b>Coachability<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I would not want to coach either of these two \u2013 they both seem to have enormous egos and most likely want mostly \u201cyes me\u201d or \u201cyes women\u201d around them. A coach is not a friend or someone who just agrees with everything their client says! A client must be coachable and before you can begin to even try to help either one of these clients, you have to assess their coachability levels. Let\u2019s assume they pass the test, and that is a giant leap of faith, but we can move to the next factor.<\/p>\n<p><b>Desire<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Desire consists of drive and determination. Both of these candidates have achieved far more than the average person, and it would most likely be easy to work with clients who have their levels of drive and determination. They pass the test with flying colors on this one!<\/p>\n<p><b>Goals<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Another factor for which both presidential candidates pass the tests. Each must have had clear goals to have reached their levels of financial and public success. No one can succeed without clearly identified goals. There isn\u2019t a more important factor that identifying and clarifying goals \u2013 whether your client is seeking public office or just wants to improve their quality of life.<\/p>\n<p><b>Trust<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Can a client be truly honest if they don\u2019t trust you? Probably not. Establishing trust and intimacy with a client is one of the core competencies identified by the International Coach Federation (ICF). You must learn a client\u2019s fears and failures, as well as their goals and dreams. This might be difficult with Trump, as he seems to never admit failure, but it\u2019s part of what builds trust in a coach\/client relationship. It\u2019s a crucial component of the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>psychology of coaching<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Workable Action Plan<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This might be difficult with either client \u2013 both seem to have a few fatal flaws in what they say or do. But, you would have to create an action plan to get from Point A (candidate) to Point B (President). The action plan is the culmination of all other factors in the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>psychology of coaching<\/strong><\/span>. It\u2019s the part of the process where results are measurable and noticeable. Though Trump and Clinton would be difficult clients at best, and impossible ones, at worst, the process is similar for each and every client!<\/p>\n<p><b>Special Bonus<\/b> \u2013 <b><i>Learn 32 \u2018Guru\u2019 Transformation Techniques when you fill in the form at the top right and click the \u201cWatch The Videos Now\u201d button.
