The common thinking around coaching is that you work with a coach to help you gain clarity, draft strategies to overcome your challenges, prepare for a change, make a change, set up goals, and achieve what you want.
And that’s more than true. It is the story from the client’s perspective.
But then, there’s a side of the story that very few talk about it.
It’s the coach’s side — that side of hard work to become one, the preparation that you do before & after your sessions, the “famous” coaching presence and the continuous never-ending learning.
I genuinely believe we have all our resources, but sometimes we can’t see or find them ourselves. We all have blind spots, me included.
So as a coach, I am there for you, listening to you and helping you dig deeper until we reach the root cause.
To help you see the other side of the story.
To help you discover yourself.
To support your questioning and see if that’s the case or if you’re wearing your fears and limiting beliefs glasses.
And once you start talking and I listen, some magic happens. I call it the magic of listening, which doesn’t work only for the client. It also works for me, the coach, because there’s so much good energy after each session. When I wrap up our session with my clients, it is the moment when I feel grateful and empowered.
I feel I’m making this world a better place in the old and sustainable way. And this is such an extraordinary feeling to have.
I rarely speak about being a coach, and I felt like doing it today because everyone talks about the experience from the coachee’s perspective, and very few coaches share how it is for us. I think the coaching side is overseen. And there’s so much gratitude, satisfaction, happiness and joy that people usually don’t mention.
So dear coaching clients (not only mine), remember that you help us, too. The sessions impact us too, and they improve our day, increase our confidence and boost our energy.
Now you know. It is about us, too.
