It's Goal Review Time and a Chance to Get Re-Inspired!

It’s already October. The seasons are changing, and there are just under 3 months left of the year so it’s a great time for a goal review both for us – and our clients.

It’s all too easy for us to focus on what we haven’t done, so before I go any further I’d like to stress ONE thing – that goals are meant to INSPIRE us, not to beat ourselves up with.

There Is No Such Thing As Try

Using the word “try” implies a risk of failure. When a client says “I’ll try”, what they’re really saying is they’re not fully committed to the action in question.

So, the word “try”, like “should”, is one of those words that’s a clear signal to coaches to ask more questions and dig deeper.

Maybe your client really will try. Or maybe they’re too busy, they don’t want to upset someone by saying “no” or perhaps they don’t really care or value the outcome enough. Whatever the reason, as a coach “I’ll try” is a cue to explore where they’re Read More…
