#125 Coaching the inner self
How can coaches empower their clients to achieve success that's not just external but deeply fulfilling and aligned with their inner selves?
Here are seven Ps that can help:
Potential. Everyone has potential, and as Tim Gallwey put it, coaching is about realising potential (Performance equals Potential minus Interference).
Purpose. Encourage your client to identify their values and find their life purpose, their calling.
Plan. Help your client set their intentions and then let go of being attached to the outcome. This applies to you as well as your client.
Presence. Pay attention to the here-and-now to make your future intention a reality.
Paradox of change. Letting go of resistance and going with the flow brings change more easily than striving for it.
Positive choices. Every action has consequences. Encourage your clients to make positive choices that help them move forward and create new ways of doing and being, rather than away from old habits.
Pay it forward. Success flows through generosity. Inspire your clients to offer kindness, time, or support to something that aligns with their purpose and values.
These 7 Ps are inspired by Deepak Chopra’s 7 Spiritual Laws of Success.
