227: 3 Things Coaches Must Stop Doing to Be Excellent Coaches
Coaches have similar origin stories. I’m a 2 on the Enneagram – The Helper. In my last corporate job, it was difficult to get work done because people would stop by all day to tell me their problems. I joked that I needed a sign saying “The Doctor is Out”. Observing that confidante talent in me, motivated a friend to ask “Have you ever thought about being a life coach?” Within days I enrolled in coach training and negotiated an independent contractor role with my boss so I could work at home on select projects while I studied and built my business. Are you an innate helper? Do you love to make it all better when someone is hurting? I bet you’re good at it. Coaching attracts people who love to support and guide others. It’s a natural fit. And, that same energy, if not tempered, can cause problems in coaching relationships. Let’s talk about that. Find the full episode and other resources for coaches at prosperouscoach.com/227.
