COACHING PROMPT OF THE WEEK

“What’s important to you about that result?”

This is a versatile question used to delve deeper into a team member’s motivations, values, and underlying reasons for pursuing a particular goal or outcome. It's a key question for helping others gain clarity, connect with their intrinsic drivers, and ultimately, increase their commitment to achieving whatever they desire.

You might ask a few probing questions to go further, such as:

What are the benefits you anticipate experiencing?

How would achieving this make you feel?

What might be getting in your way of achieving this?

Remember that coaching isn’t telling! Coaching is about staying curious and making space for those in our care to become confident authors of their own stories.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping

For some of you, this concept might sound a little "woo" or “out there.” But I’ve seen it work surprisingly well for clients dealing with stress, performance anxiety, and general feelings of overwhelm. Tapping combines concepts of acupressure with intentional and productive thinking around a problem or concern. With consistency, EFT Tapping can be a great way to help those you coach reframe stressors and show up as their best selves.

“Your Life. Love it. From the hurt to the wonder. Love it with everything you’ve got. It’s yours.” - Nayyira Waheed

I love this sentiment! It’s a great reminder that even the difficult times are part of the story and contribute to our growth and understanding. It suggests that a true love for life means accepting the bitter with the sweet. It’s a call to embrace life in its totality, with all its ups and downs, and to live it with passion, intention, and gratitude.

What can you do to embrace both the struggle and the wonder in your life today?
