Helping you on your MCC Journey!
As a 30-year ICF coaching mentor for PCC and MCC coaches, I’ve observed that one of the hardest parts of becoming a masterful coach is letting go of the need to be the expert and to “help” clients achieve their desired results.
I encourage every coach to consider how we fulfill our role, especially when it leads to doing the work for our clients.
My Story
Throughout my school years, I held a 4.0 grade average and graduated as valedictorian of my high school class. I didn’t fit in the social circle of girls who got invited on dates and school proms. The only attention I got from boys came when they wanted help with math, chemistry, or history during study hall.
As a working adult, I was an apartment manager, and residents would come into my office to pay the rent. They would sit down and talk with me for hours. In those conversations, I took on the roles of mother, sister, friend, counselor, and advisor. I enjoyed sharing my advice, ideas, stories, and personal wisdom.
Years later, as a student of coaching, I learned to honor the coaching paradigm.
I began holding my clients as the experts of their lives and work, with my role as the expert of the coaching process — a partnership between two experts.
As clients built on their strengths, took greater risks, and made meaningful changes, I noticed the “high” that came with it. That’s when it became clear this was not who I wanted to be as a coach. The focus shifted to empowering clients and creating space for their growth and greatness.
A Shift in Coaching
Today, my coaching intent feeds my soul because I hold my clients as the experts of their lives, while I act as a facilitator, calling forth their innate wisdom. And that’s…well, beyond delicious! It’s extraordinarily nourishing, rewarding, and fulfilling for me and incredibly empowering for clients.
