most people grew up with a dream or a vision of their future as life happens we discover the road to get there isn’t that easy as we thought we lose track of our direction and most times our plans get past indefinitely and we slowly forget they even existed but there are those who make it and their secret to success is this having a coach hi this is Edna blocka and today we are talking about how coaching works coaching the art and science of change and transformation it’s the number one tool that can make your impossible dreams possible but how does it actually work let’s go through the five stages of a coaching experience the first stage is awareness this is always the first step of any coaching experience where you meet your client it’s crucial to understand where your client is coming from their current state and challenges and why they are reached out to you in the first place even when they actually have no clue hey at least they’re honest about it the more self-aware the client is the clearer they can describe their situation and the better you can support them your visions will become clearer only when you can look into your own heart who looks outside dreams who looks inside awakes ask questions that will help you understand their story better what are your challenges at this moment how does this make you feel what do you think is missing how did you get here once you know where your client is coming from you need to know where they want to go which is stage 2 of the coaching process which is vision coaching without a vision is like driving without direction no map GPS or ways can help you if you don’t have the destination you just end up going around in circles this stage is about bringing clarity to where your client was to go so help them dig deep and find that answer within themselves what do you want what is their ultimate dream what is the most ambitious goal they have in their life why do they want to get there to start the conversation with the coach clarifies and simplifies the clients dreams turning it into a compass that magnetically pulls them in a true direction a compelling and clear vision will keep them motivated through the rest of the coaching experience and it will help you as a coach to keep them in the right direction now the client is at point a and they want to get to point B how to get there well that’s stage three the plan a goal without a plan is just a wish isn’t this code completely spot-on it’s not enough to want to get somewhere you need to stop moving but moving only works if it’s in the right direction this stage is about creating the roadmap from the current stage stage one to the vision Stage two as a coach provide tools for your clients to come up with a solution on how to get to their vision help them explore different choices paths options and possibilities before taking action this will be the best way to assess which road will get you to the destination faster but here’s the catch faster doesn’t always mean the easiest it means the best and most efficient way to get there easy solutions can keep you inside your comfort zone they don’t challenge you to be a better human you’ll face the choice between what is right and what is easy and create your clients to choose the path that will push them to grow and move forward your clients might hate you at first but they’ll thank you later go ask my clients the fourth stage is the journey where the magic happens because what’s the use of having a plan if you don’t take action on it I didn’t see that one coming the journey is when your clients plan becomes a plan of action when they start taking step after step after step to reach their destination for coaches it’s the stage where you support your client experience through that road and it’s the stage where your clients need you most because this will set apart the successes and the results from the failures clients will face new challenges and obstacles that will show up along the way they might lose their motivation forget their vision take a detour go in the wrong direction anything can happen which is why it’s so important for the coach to be right behind their client every step of the way to encourage them catch them if they fall help them get up again remind them the direction they’re taking and ensure they stay on track me help you maybe you’ll also need to hug them pause and reflect on what’s working and what’s not help them revise the original plan and create new solutions when needed but the number one action you need to do as a coach is to make sure your client keeps moving forward if you can’t fly then run if you can’t run then walk if you can’t walk and crawl but by all means keep moving it doesn’t matter if they need an hour a day a week or a month every person will have their own pace and it’s totally fine as long as they keep moving the worst thing they can do is to stop taking action because they’ll lose the momentum they created it’ll be harder for them to reach their vision after that happens so help them avoid the downfall and hold them accountable to their plan after blood sweat and tears Stage four is conquered and the war is over you’ve reached stage 5 which is success [Music] your client has overcome his challenges and obstacles and has reached the vision they had created in stage 2 this is a huge win for your client and for you as a coach as well for the results and transformations you’ve created for your client now reaching stage 5 doesn’t mean your clients achieve their big vision and dreams and it’s the end of the road their life will continue and they will encounter new ambitions and new challenges along the way how they decide to continue taking action in their lives will now be completely up to them the difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do and that is when your journey as a coach has come to an end congratulations you just nailed a coaching experience pretty simple right let’s wrap it up one last time the five stages of how coaching works Stage one is awareness Stage two is vision Stage three is plan Stage four is a journey in Stage five is success taking our
