This week I saw a miracle while coaching.

T&I: The Approach that Might Change Your Life

The Coaching Relationship is like no other. I don't tell my clients what to do; instead we co-create the path that leads them toward living their life, their way. This approach yields what I consider miracles-- small miracles with the capacity to change my clients' lives, my life and those with whom we share our learning.

Today, while I coached Cindy about what she has long considered a lack of self-confidence, we experienced one of those small miracles. During our conversation, her understanding shifted. She realized each time she approached a new situation with anxiety, she had attributed her fear of failure to a lack of confidence. Today she saw it was something else entirely; she simply didn't give new situations enough time to marinate nor did she gather enough information. It was an "Aha! moment".

After our session today, she will go forward with what we have now coined the "T&I Approach" (Time and Information). It's an approach that can help many of us in all sorts of predicaments. Facing a situation that's causing you a little fear or uneasiness? Remember T&I! Take time to consider all the angles. Then gather the information you need to approach the situation with strength and confidence.

I'd love to hear your experience with the T&I approach. Email or call and we'll share it in an upcoming issue of The Coaching Corner.

I'll meet you in The Coaching Corner next week for a discussion: Why Bother Getting Upset with what People Say or Do? Try this Simple Approach.

Warmly,
Dee
