Do you make your clients cry?
I begin every coaching session with two secret beliefs:
- You are far more powerful than you know. Especially if you’ve already accomplished things that impress most people.
- Tears are a release of emotion. And if I can create a safe enough space, my clients will cry when they share things with me they never shared with another living soul.
Kristen is a top performer with a track record of success. She’s a retired television executive who founded a non-profit that has brought clean water to over 100,000 people in developing countries.
When I coached her, she shared things with me that she’d never, ever shared before. And she cried. It was a powerful conversation.
As you listen to me coaching, see if you can tell the moment where I choose to dive deep. What do you notice about what I see, hear or feel that give me the clues where to go with my client?
Love. Rich
