To be a great coach, you have to get into the mindset or “mindspace” of coaching. In this session, you’ll learn how to be a professional host to inspire your clients to open up and think big. You’ll learn how to create a sense of safety for your client, as well as an exercise practice for generating internal safety and presence.
Your relationship with a client has the potential to create something wonderful in their lives. This potential is realized through the intentional practice of collaboration – which is combining forces in a way that multiplies the value for both of you, and for the relationship. In this session, you’ll learn how to know when you’re succeeding as a coach, and what your client will say when you’re being an amazing coach. You’ll finish with an exercise to become present to the power and value of collaboration.
The coach plays a new role in life, business, and society. Because it’s a new role, we must learn and educate ourselves about what the role is, and how to do it. In this session, you’ll learn how to be a catalyst… an accelerator… for your client’s goals and dreams. You will learn how to be a new type of leader that we call a “relationship leader.” You’ll also get clearer about what coaching can really mean for you and your life.
The coaching relationship can produce a form of higher value for your client (and for you), that is completely unexpected. In this session, you’ll learn how your expectations of your client directly impact them and their results. You’ll learn how to stand for greatness in your clients. And you’ll learn why you have to begin each relationship expecting your client to someday graduate from working with you.
In this final session, you’ll see a demonstration of how to have a very deep, very powerful, very valuable session with your clients. Eben demonstrates this model on Annie, and we all get to be surprised by what happens. You’ll also see the importance of continuing to listen, clarify, and ask questions for much longer than most would ever expect.
