Good storytelling is a powerful tool for creating connection, building trust, and communicating ideas and concepts. However, when it comes to divorce coaching, storytelling can be a mixed bag. And a common mistake we see coaches make is oversharing about their own personal experiences. In this episode, we discuss when and how it is appropriate to share personal stories with clients. While it’s well-intentioned, it’s also important to be mindful about when and how we share personal stories with clients. Our words of caution...there are two ways storytelling can muddy the waters when it comes to our coaching relationships. First, sharing too much from our personal lives can take the focus off the client and put the spotlight back on the coach. And second, clients look to us as the expert so those stories might be interpreted as directive or advice giving. Listen in as Tracy and Debra talk about why intention matters when it comes to storytelling in divorce coaching. #divorcepodcast #divorcestories #storytelling #tmi #divorcecoaching #coachingpractice #coachingskills #continuingeducation #coachcommunity #trustbuilding #intention

Whether you're just starting out or want to keep growing, successful business owners consistently say that having a mentor made a big difference. We know that 4 out of 5 coaching practices fail. It's heartbreaking to read that. Professional mentorship and networking with like-minded colleagues is what will keep you from being a statistic. We see talented coaches give up because they tried to do it alone. We are here to support you with your complex cases, frustrations, business building and more. Professional mentorship is a key component of our training program for a reason - because it works!

When clients are feeling stuck, we help remind them that they do have choices. They do have the power to direct their own lives even if the direction is not the one they hoped for or planned for. There's a meme out there that says "Choose your hard" and that is so appropriate when it comes to divorce and co-parenting.Divorce coaches play such a critical role in helping clients not only see the choices available to them but helping them to work through the potential outcomes of each choice. We support clients in aligning their choices with their values so the can make the right decision even if it's the hard one. #harddecisions #stayorgo #divorce #divorcepodcast #divorcecoachtraining #coparenting #divorceagreement #negotiation

Empathy is an effective strategy when it comes to conflict resolution. Now, don't freak out. We're not asking clients to deeply care about what their partner is feeling, we're asking them to consider what they're feeling in order to put forth proposals that will be heard and more likely to be accepted. When we understand what motivates the other person in a conflicted situation, it helps us fine tune our language and approach. Essentially, we are taking a break from our own perspective to go to what William Ury calls "the balcony" to get a wider view of the situation as a whole. One definition of negotiation is "giving up something you want for something you want more". In this context, it is extremely helpful to get insight into what's most important to the other party. It opens the door to problem solving, creative solutions, and mutually satisfying agreements. It's not about caring (emotional empathy), it's about understanding and insight (cognitive empathy) as a tool for moving toward resolution. #empathy #negotiation #divorcesettlement #parentingplan #divorcecoachtraining #conflictresolution #divorcepodcast #negotiationstrategy #divorceagreement #divorcecoaching #certifieddivorcecoach

It's your divorce. When your team goes away and the ink is dry, you're the one left with the consequences of the choices you have made. That's why it's vitally important that you see each member of your divorce team as a resource, not a decision maker. A professional certified divorce coach works as your co-captain to help you evaluate your options and make decisions that align with your goals. Make a divorce coach your first draft. Then consider adding other team members like a mediator, lawyer, financial, lending or real estate professionals to support your decision making. The team you choose will influence your outcomes, so choose carefully. They can add to the cost, conflict and stress ... or reduce it. You're the team captain and should add people to your process only if their role is clearly defined and supports where you are trying to go. #divorceteam #divorceprofessional #divorcecoach #divorcepodcast #divorcecoachtraining #certifieddivorcecoach #ownyourdivorce #divorcedecisions

In this week's episode, we're exploring why empathy is so challenging in the context of divorce, why it's a key factor in conflict resolution and negotiation, and what can be done to foster it. One of the primary reasons empathy is so challenging during divorce and co-parenting is the intensity of emotions involved. Big feelings like anger, betrayal, resentment, injustice and more can invoke our natural instinct is to protect ourselves. Also, the legal process and the adversarial nature of divorce proceedings can create an environment of competition rather than cooperation where any show of empathy might be seen as weakness. Listen in as Tracy and Debra talk about the role of empathy in divorce and the 7 tools we can use to effectively use empathy strategically to improve outcomes for families. #divorcepodcast #empathy #cognitiveempathy #divorcestrategy #negotiation #divorcecoachtraining #divorcenegotiation #conflictresolution #divorcecoaching
