You\u2019ve heard of the \u201cGood Cop\u201d and the \u201cBad Cop\u201d, well among the best coaching tips<\/strong><\/a> is that sometimes you need to become the \u201cCoaching Nazi\u201d. I am not talking about the nickname for Hitler\u2019s National Socialist Party. Instead the image I am going for is the \u201cSoup Nazi\u201d from Seinfeld. You remember: he\u2019s the guy who would cut you off if you said anything he didn\u2019t like \u2013 cut you right off, period. So when is it really good to be really, really bad?<\/p>\n

People often Don\u2019t Value Things until They Are Taken Away<\/h3>\n

The first time to be the \u201cCoaching Nazi\u201d is when your prospect won\u2019t commit to your coaching. You\u2019ve made your case. They agree that they can benefit from it. But they just won\u2019t commit. Every new coach\u2019s first inclination is to gavel and make their case again. DON\u2019T DO IT! Slam that door. It feels so empowering. And if they don\u2019t beg for a second chance, they would never sign up, anyway.<\/p>\n

You Can\u2019t Have the Big Impact if You Are Being too Nice<\/h3>\n

Sometimes coaching tips<\/strong> seem to contradict themselves. You need to establish rapport with your client, but you can\u2019t make that big impact on their behavior, if you are too much in rapport. It\u2019s just a matter of timing. Unless you first establish rapport, your client will not open up and share their inner self. But once they do, you may have to hit them hard to generate the lasting change that they need. By switching gears and coming on strong, you get their attention and get by their defenses. You also introduce the element of loss of your relationship, if they don\u2019t adopt the change. All of this adds up to affecting them in a way that is impossible if you are being too nice.<\/p>\n

One of the Best Coaching Tips Is to Catch Your Client off Balance<\/h3>\n

When your client settles into the routine of your coaching, you have lost your effectiveness. When your client does their email during your coaching sessions, it\u2019s all over. That\u2019s why one of the best coaching tips<\/span> is to keep your client off balance. This will command their attention and open them up to your influence, so you can go back to being the \u201cnice guy\u201d at least for a little while.<\/p>\n
