Tell me your story…

In your next coaching session say the words, “Tell me your story…”

You’ll sometimes see a look of confusion, or hear a joke in reply, “Do you mean from the beginning?!”

Smile and say, “Yes, I want to hear your story from the very beginning. Where were your grandparents born?”

It feels so good to be listened to. This will be a magical experience for your client. 

To take the session to the next level, ask your client, “Tell me about those moments in your life and career when you took big leaps forward.”

When they’re complete, ask, “What patterns do you notice?”

We often seek the path to future success by reading about other’s success formulas. Help your client look at the leaps they’ve had in the past, so they can follow their own success formula.
