There is so much information out there that will help us become better coaches. But is the fact that you " don't know it all" holding you back from taking even the first step? If so, don't feel alone.
However if you can create a situation where your clients feel connected, and you identify the issue for the session, can actively listen to them, reflect back what they are saying to you and have the client decide on what they need to do to take a step forward- then you don't have to know it all- which is impossible anyway!
You will find the clients you need, and they will want to be coached at the level at which you find yourself as a coach. As you progress with more advanced coaching techniques, so your clients will become more advanced and need this additional expertise.
It doesn't matter where you are on the coaching continuum- if you can manage to achieve the things mentioned in paragraph 2, step right in and coach the best way you know how.

1 年Agree fully, Cherri. In the end it's about practise, practise, practise. As you know, I am busy reading Marcia Reynolds' book (Coach the Person, not the problem) again and she puts it so well: "There's no perfect coach. You start, and then with practice, good mentoring, and continuous learning, you discover the power of coaching well. You have to coach to improve your skills."
