Part 4 of a four part series by Barbara Fagan
Coaching Accountability
Part 4: Becoming Known As An Empowering Coach Coaches who build trust with their clients must trust their client's resourcefulness and be with them in close examination of all results that are created. When your client comes to the coaching call prepared to tell you ALL of their results since your last coaching session, sharing what worked AND what did not work from an accountable place it tells you they have spent time in reflection of their choices. You know that you have enrolled your client in the power of accountability. As a coaching professional you will gain a great deal of credibility as a coach who assists clients to acknowledge their choices and begin to see the resources they have available. In addition, you will have provided your client with the accountability tools to move forward independently, without you, to continue to own all their results. They can now look at results from a place of genuine curiosity, to see all that they can see and learn with new self awareness that will sustain them going forward. We will always confront our barriers - but we will recognize them as just what they are - our own filters that create our own STOP signs and recognize we have the power to make different choices and move forward with confidence. Your clients will stop playing the Right / Wrong game and the Blame game with themselves and with others and start to look at What if . . . ?? Part of being a coach who provides the tools for accountability is that clients become freed up and have a great deal less stress in their lives around their results. The beauty of living each day fully is that we have many opportunities to STOP and LOOK at what we are creating and to CHOOSE a new path or sometimes just a New Attitude. As a coach, the work that must be done to coach accountability is to live it in our own lives. That means be willing to examine all our results with the same level of curiosity for learning as you invite your clients to do. None of us has the RIGHT answers - but we are always getting new information - it is how we choose to use that information that opens the space for creation of something new.
