Tener claridad sobre el rol de un coach es vital para ejercer la carrera de forma profesional. Estos límites se definen en la primera sesión, de tal forma que se puede recurrir a esta información cuando la situación se pueda volver difícil. Sin embargo, es importante entender que una situación difícil puede ser sinónimo que se está tocando un tema al cual se le tiene resistencia, y, por lo tanto, es un dolor que puede ser sanado, si se pasa la primera barrera.

What if our deepest potential lies in the unexplored corners of our subconscious beliefs? How can reframing our self-talk uncover hidden strengths we never knew we had? Have you ever considered that the language you use to describe yourself might be shaping your reality more than you realize?

Mir hat es geholfen den Unterschied zwischen Bedürfnissen und Werten zu kl?ren. Bedürfnisse sind nicht verhandelbar, daher bestehe ich auf respektvollen Umgang. Werte wie z.B. Pünktlichkeit oder Ehrlichkeit sind in einem besonderen Kontext Prinzipien über die ich verhandeln kann. 1. Definiere dein Bedürfnis 2. Welche Werte als Prinzipien sind verhandelbar? 3. Setze rechtzeitig bewusste Grenzen

I think it’s important to set clear expectations with yourself, before all coaching sessions. Having unclear expectations on the structure/ flow of the session, not leaving room for the client to be involved in their session, and/or attempting to control all aspects of the session, are all some ways where setting clear expectations would make a coaching session more beneficial for yourself and the client. In order to set clear expectations, you must know who you are as a coach and what goals you would like to see your client achieve or work towards, with each session. In order to know yourself, you must spend time listening to, and communicating with, yourself.

Es importante que el coachee entienda cuáles son los límites de un coach. El coaching es acción, objetivos claros, conocimiento de habilidades, consciencia de puntos de mejora, etc. Todo ello, con un objetivo claro, será una camino hacia el éxito. A veces se cree que el coach debe darle al coachee una ruta creada por el coach, cuando en realidad es el mismo coachee quien debe crear su propia ruta.

What if our weaknesses are not roadblocks but rather signposts pointing to untapped strengths? How might embracing failure as a teacher transform our journey towards self-discovery? Have you ever questioned whether what you perceive as a limitation could actually be a unique advantage in disguise?

The coaching space needs to be a safe one, where the client can express themselves freely. They can't do that if they don't know what to expect from the coach. They need to know that what they say is confidential. They need to know how long the session is. They need to know that at times they may be challenged or interrupted, but how that is done has been agreed upon before hand by both parties. They need to know that the coach is in their corner and isn't going to impose their opinions, offer advise, or start mentoring. This is entirely the client's space, entirely their agenda, but like any space they need to know the perimeters so that they can feel held and safe.

Creating boundaries sets expectations and helps clients understand what is necessary for successful coaching. Being on time, completing assignments, and approaching sessions with an open mind are key boundaries. These establish that results require action and respect the time and effort both parties invest. Such boundaries add seriousness to the process and clarify mutual expectations, ensuring clients take the sessions and the coach seriously. This framework makes it easier to hold clients accountable and fosters a comfortable environment where both coach and client know what needs to be done.

La comunicación es vital y el coach sabe como comunicar emociones y sentimientos, de tal forma que puede acompa?ar al coachee a aprender a comunicarse efectivamente. Reconocer el dolor ayudará a poder expresar lo que te hace sentir y que lo ocasiona. Esto es importante, pues si no serás reactivo ante el dolor y creerás que el interlocutor tiene la intención de hacerte da?o, cuando en realidad está tocando una herida que tú ya cargas. Suena sencillo decir "comunicación efectiva", cuando en realidad cargamos muchos paradigmas poniendo al otro primero. Nada más cierto, recuerda hablar desde el yo y verás grandes resultados al hacerte responsable de tus emociones y expresarlas con claridad.

Clear communication is crucial for effective coaching. When a coach fails to communicate clearly, it can trigger clients, leading to misunderstandings or feelings of offense. This lack of clarity may cause clients to lose respect for the coach and feel they aren't receiving the expected value or results from the sessions. To prevent this, coaches should ensure their communication is precise, empathetic, and aligned with the client's expectations. Clear explanations of session goals, methodologies, and progress can maintain trust and engagement, fostering a productive coaching relationship.

Mir hilf eine Checkliste bevor ich ins Gespr?ch gehe. 5 wichtige Punkte wie ich mich verhalten will. Dann 2 Neurohacks in Situationen, in denen Druck entsteht: 1. Mikropause von 1-2 Sekunden bevor ich spreche, dabei ruhig ein und ausatmen. 2. Frage formulieren, wie das gemeint ist. Ich gewinne Zeit um mich auf die Worte zu fokussieren und dabei tief ein- und auszuatmen.

If the coach isn't calm then they can't listen properly. If the coach isn't calm then how can the client focus on what they are thinking or feeling? Many clients I work with become emotional. But it is their emotion, not mine. Listen. Breathe. Reflect back don't absorb. When the session is over, then the coach can address their own feelings. there are many times when I have had to go for a long walk after a session because I have been really affected. In the session your role is not to escalate emotion but to hold it and facilitate the client to work through it. If you focus on that mission then there is no space for you to feel anything but calm.

As a coach, it is my responsibility to hold a safe and strong space for my clients. Only when clients feel securely held can they truly start to unpack their own emotions and feel safe enough to start going deeper into things that may make them feel uncomfortable. The ability to stay calm and manage your own nervous system while your clients may be unraveling is critical for a personal coach.

As a coach, maintaining emotional control and professionalism is crucial. Clients look to their coach as a role model of stability and effectiveness. If a coach allows their emotions to interfere or becomes agitated during sessions, clients may question their ability to provide guidance and support. It's essential for coaches to cultivate self-awareness and emotional regulation to uphold trust and credibility, ensuring clients feel confident in their coach's ability to help them achieve their goals.

It isn't about whether you disagree or not. It is about really hearing what the client is saying and finding the right questions to help unpack that, so that the client can move forward and reach the the goals they have set themselves. How can you ask a meaningful question if you haven't listened meaningfully? And it isn't just about listening to the words. The tone of voice, a change in breathing, the way the body expresses something that may be contradictory to the words spoken out loud. The coach needs to listen to the whole self with their whole self.

Die Frage: Habe ich das richtig verstanden, dass ... ? um sich selbst zu vergewissern, ob ich alles richtig verstanden habe, ist aus meiner Sicht stets hilfreich und kommt beim Gegenüber gut an. Ebenso das Wiederholen des Gesagten, um zu reflektieren. Für aktives Zuh?ren suche ich mir auch gerne eine Kleinigkeit, die ich am Gespr?chspartner mag, z.B. Augenbrauen, Nase Wange etc. und konzentriere mich beim Zuh?ren darauf.

Active listening is paramount for effective coaching. When coaches aren't fully attentive, they risk missing subtle cues like client discomfort, emotional responses, or lack of honesty. This oversight can hinder the coach's ability to create a comfortable environment, offer emotional support, or encourage clients to be truthful. Furthermore, without active listening, coaches may misunderstand client messages and respond inadequately. This can lead to ineffective guidance and hinder progress toward client goals. Therefore, practicing active listening—engaging fully with clients, interpreting non-verbal cues, and responding thoughtfully—is essential for fostering trust, understanding, and meaningful progress in coaching relationships.
