5. How Drama

What do you say if your client asks you to tell them what to do? Do you give them answers? "How Drama" is when your clients demand that you tell them how to solve their own problems. They want you to give them solutions, strategies and ideas. It may feel useful and necessary to give your clients the "how", but doing so does more harm than good. Notice the part of you that wants to give your clients answers: Are you trying to rescue your clients because you don't see them as capable? Are you wanting to please your clients because you don't want to hurt their feelings? This leads to a messy coaching relationship. The best way to help your client is to help them build their self-trust. You must believe in your clients so hard and coach them to create their own "how". This will be a messy process because most people are used to searching for the answers outside of themselves. But the beauty of your client creating their own "how" is they start seeing how capable they've always been. This episode reveals how to empower your clients to access their answers from within.
