How do you address a client's doubts about the long-term impact of personal coaching on their life?

Remembering my own doubts when seeking coaching helps me put client doubts to rest. First, it's important for clients to know they have been heard and understood. Next, I reassure them that coaching is a process, a journey of shifting your mindset, gaining new tools and perspectives and setting goals that align with your values. Finally, I share past successes from others and offer a free trial to show that I am committed to helping them turn their stress to success.

1. Share Success Stories: Provide examples of past clients who have experienced significant long-term benefits from personal coaching. 2. Outline Benefits: Clearly explain the specific, measurable outcomes and improvements that personal coaching can bring to their life. 3. Set Clear Goals: Work with the client to establish personalized goals and a roadmap to track progress and measure impact. 4. Offer a Trial Period: Suggest a trial period or initial coaching sessions to demonstrate the value and potential long-term benefits. 5. Maintain Open Communication: Encourage ongoing feedback and discussions to address concerns and adjust the coaching approach as needed.

Improve participation Many employees feel they have to hide a part of their life or identity at work. This belief has a strong negative effect on people's sense of belonging and interaction. However, if people are encouraged to bring their whole self to the workplace, engagement will increase and employees will perform their duties with more satisfaction and creativity.

Explain that coaching helps them set goals and build lasting skills. Share examples of others who have seen positive changes and remind them that real change takes time. Encourage patience and highlight that coaching is about their long-term growth.

Lorsqu'une personne me sollicite pour un coaching, la première étape consiste à comprendre les raisons de sa démarche. Une fois que la curiosité initiale est apaisée, j'identifie les objectifs qu'elle souhaite atteindre ainsi que les difficultés rencontrées. Je reformule ensuite ces éléments pour valider l'intérêt et la motivation du client. Je partage également des exemples de coachings que j'ai déjà réalisés, en précisant toutefois que le coaching ne garantit pas un résultat, mais repose sur un engagement réciproque de moyens, tant du côté du coach que du coaché. Enfin, je témoigne de mon propre parcours : c'est grâce à un coaching centré sur la quête de sens que j'ai pu atteindre ma position actuelle.

When a client expresses doubts about the long-term impact of personal coaching on their life, it’s essential to address these concerns by highlighting the profound and lasting benefits coaching can offer. Begin by reassuring them that personal coaching is a transformative process designed to create sustainable changes that align with their core values, goals, and aspirations. Explain how coaching fosters self-awareness, clarity, and accountability, empowering them to make informed decisions that positively shape their personal and professional lives. Share examples of how coaching has helped others overcome obstacles, build resilience, and achieve milestones they once thought unattainable.

Changer d'état d'esprit, c'est généralement un travail de longue haleine, mais le coaching permet parfois des déclics qui permettent des changements rapides et définitifs. Pas de miracles, mais parfois d'excellentes surprises.

For me the way to transform a business is to first transform the business owner. Who you are for yourself will determine what you can accomplish unless you have the tools, and an experienced coach, to remove your self imposed limiting beliefs. Especially when you are unaware that they are running the show.

Personal coaching provides tailored guidance to help clients achieve their specific goals, acting as a roadmap for success. By focusing on individual strengths and areas for growth, coaching helps clients unlock their potential and create meaningful changes. The impact of coaching can be profound, leading to improved self-awareness, better decision-making, and a more fulfilling life. It’s like having a GPS that not only gets you to your destination but also helps you avoid traffic jams along the way. A study found that 80% of people who receive coaching report increased self-confidence. In short, coaching is the gift that keeps on giving—without the need for a gift receipt!

I know that a benefit of coaching using the Enneagram is not just learning about how you are in the world, but how you think, feel and do in response to your environment and relationships. A coaching benefit that I have experienced using the Enneagram is that we get to focus on client's strengths.

If you are your potential client are 100% certain what the cost of them continuing to ignore the problems are, then doubt is more easily overcome. People don’t delay when for instance they admit they lose $10,000 every day (or risk a costly divorce and not seeing their kids every day) because they don’t have the solution.

Dúvidas surgem em todos os processos em que estamos nos desafiando na vida e no coaching não é diferente. A importância de ter traçado um objetivo concreto auxilia na métrica para conseguir enxergar os passos dados a onde se quer chegar. A mentalidade de que, "cada centímetro é uma vitória", ajuda a manter a consistência no processo, gerando um valor inestimável para que o foco fique inabalável. Cabe ao Coach guiar na construção de uma estrada de consistência, mas quem caminha nela é o cliente. Em todos os pontos o cliente deve estar atento e ser sincero consigo na necessidade de mudança de rota.

It's natural for clients to have doubts about the long-term impact of coaching, especially when the results aren't immediately visible. To overcome this, emphasize that personal growth is a marathon, not a sprint, and lasting change takes time. Sharing success stories from past clients can be a powerful way to illustrate the potential long-term benefits. Think of coaching like planting a tree—you might not see it grow overnight, but with patience and care, it will eventually bear fruit. Addressing doubts directly and transparently can help build trust and reassure the client that they’re on the right path. After all, even the best things in life, like a good cup of coffee, take a little time to brew!

Una de las mejores herramientas para este fin es llevar un diario de progresos. Este diario te permite documentar sus logros, así como los nuevos hábitos que está implementando y la conciencia que está desarrollando en el transcurso de las sesiones. Al tener un registro tangible de sus avances, puede visualizar su evolución y reafirmar su compromiso.

Measuring progress is essential to showing clients the value of coaching over time. Encourage clients to set specific, measurable goals at the start of the coaching journey and track their achievements along the way. Regular check-ins can highlight the positive changes they’ve made, reinforcing the idea that their efforts are paying off. It’s like keeping a scorecard—only this time, every win is a step closer to their dream life. Tools like progress journals or even visual charts can make the growth tangible and keep clients motivated. Remember, every little progress is worth celebrating, just like finding that one missing sock in the laundry!

Clients should always be encouraged to use their previous journal entries and feedback from their loved ones as a barometer to their progress. It is also the coach's job to point to significant changes we witness in mood and attitude.

"Rome ne s'est pas construite en un seul jour". Le progrès n'est pas linéaire, c'est le cas en coaching, il y aura des évolutions positives, des périodes de stagnation voire des pertes légères. Cela fait partie intégrante du processus. C'est parfois difficile à intégrer pour certains. Ce qu'il faut c'est définir un point A de départ (tests multiples de conditions physiques), définir des objectifs (méthode Smart) qui seront le point B. Ces objectifs sont en coproduction entre le coach et le client pour le responsabiliser. Utiliser des données chiffrees (balance impedancemetre) est essentiel pour statuer une progression. Mais ne pas sous estimer les sensations du client à mettre en avant (exemple : n'est plus essoufflé dans l'escalier).

Den Fortschritt im Personal Coaching zu messen, ist entscheidend, um die Wirksamkeit des Prozesses zu beurteilen und motiviert zu bleiben. Zunächst werden klare, messbare Ziele zu Beginn des Coachings festgelegt. Diese dienen als Referenzpunkte für die Fortschrittsbewertung. Regelmäßige Reflexionen und Feedback-Gespräche mit dem Coach helfen dabei, den aktuellen Stand zu überprüfen und Anpassungen vorzunehmen. Auch das Führen eines Journals, in dem Erfolge, Herausforderungen und Erkenntnisse festgehalten werden, ist ein nützliches Werkzeug. Durch diese Methoden kann der Fortschritt sichtbar gemacht und kontinuierlich bewertet werden, was zu einer gezielten Weiterentwicklung beiträgt.

Mesurer les progrès est essentiel. Cela permet de prendre conscience de l'efficacité du coaching et permet au coaché de reprendre confiance en lui.

El coaching facilita el desarrollo de habilidades internas (muchas veces desconocidas). Una vez que las descubres, la responsabilidad de mantenerlas te brinda una nueva conciencia de control, que se puede percibir como una mayor libertad en tu vida.

Couching is a decision just like all other decisions we take in life for our wellbeing Client's job is to start the process and as it proceeds they can will have a first hand experience transformation.

A lo largo de mi experiencia como coach me he dado cuenta que esta cuestión de mantener el cambio debe ser abordada claramente. En mi opinión son muchos los factores que pueden influir en que el cambio se mantenga o no, o quede incorporado en la vida del cliente. Quizás eso pueda dar para otro artículo. Sin embargo, aquí incidiré en la importancia de trabajar, durante el proceso, la adquisición de un hábito que incluya aquello que estamos trabajando. Esto aportará al menos dos ventajas: 1. Los hábitos permiten que las acciones importantes se realicen de manera automática. Esto facilita el logro de los objetivos también a largo plazo. 2. Tener hábitos bien establecidos puede ayudarte a saber lo que debes hacer y cuándo hacerlo.

Um den Wandel nachhaltig zu gestalten, sollten Veränderungen schrittweise und konsistent umgesetzt werden. Setze realistische Ziele und integriere neue Gewohnheiten in den Alltag. Regelmäßige Reflexion und Anpassungen sind wichtig, um den Fortschritt zu sichern. Entwickle Resilienz und Selbstmanagementfähigkeiten, damit du auch nach dem Coaching eigenständig weitermachen kannst. Ein unterstützendes Umfeld hilft zusätzlich, den Wandel langfristig zu festigen.

Llegar a un objetivo es más fácil (aunque no te lo parezca) que mantenerlo. Una vez alcances tu meta, no te pares, continúa hacia otra. No siempre tendrás la motivación suficiente para continuar, así que necesitas hacer acopio de habilidades y fortalezas. En caso de falta de motivación; la constancia y la disciplina serán tus mayores aliadas. Los buenos hábitos te ayudarán a lograr todo lo que quieras. Te invito a aprender algo nuevo, cada día, a leer o ver vídeos sobre temas que te interesen, aunque no tengan que ver con tu expertisse, ya que eso abrirá tu mente y te ayudará a encontrar opciones creativas. Te animo a no conformarte, a querer más, a ser mejor cada día.
