| Coaching Proficiencies: Engage in provocative conversations Coaches use this proficiency to determine what the client's issue is and to get at the heart of the issue by revealing truths around the issue. Reveals client to themselves Coaches help clients discover their gifts, talents, wants, values, needs and dreams. Coaches also help clients understand what motivates and inspires them. This results in the client quickly moving forward on their life journey. Elicits Greatness Coaches naturally ask clients to think and act bigger by challenging them to continually raise their own bar and standards. Enjoys client immensely Coaches who utilize this proficiency have a very high skill set and awareness level. They have worked on their own issues so that they can be completely present with their client and enjoy where the client is at that given moment. Expands the client’s best efforts One of the reasons clients hire a coach is to support them to do more in a shorter period of time than they would on their own. Hence, the Coach acts as both a catalyst and accelerant. By supporting the client to do more than they have done or think they are capable of doing, significant value is added. Navigates via curiosity Coaches use this proficiency to help the client find new and better ways of doing things. Recognizes perfection in every situation One way to look at life it to believe that everything happens for a perfectly good reason even if we cannot always see or know the reason within our lifetime. A Coach seeks to understand and recognize perfection in the clients situation. Hones in on what is most important Depending on the day, hour or minute, what is important to the client will change. The coach is both quick to recognize this moving target and is flexible enough to adjust the coaching to be effective in this new terrain. Communicates Cleanly The cleaner the communication the less that gets in the way of great coaching. Coaches have worked to clean up the biases, judgments, unmet needs, shoulds, coulds, to singularity, vicariousness, agendas, arrogance and fears that can get in the way of effective coaching. Shares what’s there Coaches use observations, intuition and inklings to help the client move forward in their life. Champions the client The more often and deeply the Coach champions the client at all levels, the more encouraged the client feels and the more likely they are to succeed. For the Coach to merely be encouraging is not enough; there is a much higher level of support generated when a Coach operates at the championing level. Enters new territories The Coach expands the client's thinking by weaving in new concepts, principles and distinctions during the coaching session and also by inviting the client to experiment with new models, ways of doing things and even identify new goals or outcomes. Clients don't usually ask the Coach for this but these are key ways that value is created for the client. Relishes the truth Truth is a level above mere honesty, as in there is always a truth about a situation, person or event that when discovered and articulated can transform one's life or business. Designs supportive environments Success and personal evolution become sustainable when there are environments and failsafe structures which support it. Coaches are trained to help the client design and install these environments. Respects the client’s humanity We all have limits, both internal and external and as much as coaching is about maximizing potential and opportunities, we are all human and the Coach respects this. Success without stress is what we are all after and by recognizing limits and appreciating different paths to achievement, the client is both individually and universally respected.
