In order to influence your client you need to lead, and there are specific life coach tips<\/strong><\/a> to be able to do it effectively.\u00a0 Especially when your life coach client is a driven, high achiever, who is used to leading.\u00a0 You can\u2019t go head to head in battle with these clients, because someone is going to get injured.\u00a0 Even if you win in the moment your coaching relationship will suffer.\u00a0 Here are some tips to help you navigate what can often appear to be dangerous territory.<\/p>\n

Life Coach Tips To Lead the Leader<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 Getting your clients into action.\u00a0 The leader is usually very competitive in nature.\u00a0 If you tell these clients what to do, they\u2019ll fight you.\u00a0 If they feel at all pushed, they\u2019ll probably push back.\u00a0 If they can\u2019t effectively push you back, they will often quit coaching just so they can win.\u00a0 So instead of telling them what to do, you can ask them questions.\u00a0 For example, \u201cWhat is one action that you could do that would get you closer to this goal than any other action.\u201d\u00a0 This puts them in the driver seat.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 Challenge your clients to get greater results.\u00a0 One of the most effective and fun life coach tips<\/strong> for your high achievers is to give them a challenge.\u00a0 A little playful banter can be very effective in getting your clients to stretch themselves without feeling nagged.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Hold them accountable even when they get angry with you.\u00a0 If you\u2019re too afraid to call your clients on failing to achieve what they said they would, you\u2019re making it about yourself.\u00a0 If you are not coming from a place of total love and commitment to your client, you\u2019ll do what everyone else in their life does which is to back down.<\/p>\n

Check Your Baggage At The Door<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In summary, these life coach tips<\/span> are about deciding who you are going to be for your clients.\u00a0 Any emotions need to be checked before you get on the call.\u00a0 If you get pulled in emotionally, via fear or anger, you can\u2019t be 100% there for your clients.<\/p>\n
