Here's how you can avoid the pitfalls of overcommitting to deadlines in personal coaching.

En mi experiencia en procesos de coaching, el cliente en el proceso va aprendiendo y va mejorando y perfilando sus habilidades. De la misma manera cuando el proceso va avanzando, el cliente va ganando autoestima y todo va fluyendo más. En el caso concreto de plazos poco realistas, el coach debe evaluar con el coachee (cliente del proceso) si ese plazo es conveniente y realista con la carga de trabajo del coachee. Un coach puede hacer preguntas más cerradas como ?Crees que el plazo es adecuado?...aunque en muchas ocasiones el coachee dirá que sí y luego no cumplirá con el plazo. Eso también es bueno porque de esa situación también se debe sacar lo positivo y aprendizaje para los próximos compromisos y plazos.

One thing I've found helpful is being honest about how much time each task requires when considering new commitments. This way, I can better assess my current workload and personal capacity. Actually, I disagree with the idea of pushing through tight deadlines without consideration. It's important to acknowledge your limits to maintain the quality of your work. An example I've seen is when setting a realistic deadline from the start. It’s always better to negotiate upfront rather than risk disappointing a client or yourself later on.

One thing I've found helpful is prioritizing tasks to manage deadlines effectively. This means figuring out which commitments are most important and aligning them with your goals and values. Actually, I disagree with trying to do everything at once. By focusing on what truly matters, it's easier to say no to less important tasks. An example I've seen is understanding your priorities and allocating your time accordingly. This helps avoid the stress of last-minute rushes and ensures you meet realistic deadlines.

One thing I've found helpful is being upfront with clients about what can realistically be achieved within the given timeframes. This helps set clear expectations from the beginning. Actually, I disagree with keeping potential challenges hidden. Discussing these challenges openly can build trust and lead to stronger, more cooperative relationships. An example I've seen is when talking about possible delays right away ensures that both you and your clients understand the situation, preventing misunderstandings.

One thing I've found helpful is delegating tasks to manage my workload better. Identifying tasks that don't require my specific expertise and assigning them to others can be very effective. Actually, I disagree with the idea that delegating is a sign of weakness. It's a strategic way to manage time and resources more effectively. An example I've seen is when assigning routine tasks to others, it allows you to concentrate on the essential parts of personal coaching that require your attention.
