Relational Coach: Repetitive Problem
from Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life Hosted by Michelle Burkhard
What happens when someone keeps bringing back the sameproblem, but the problem might not actually be the whole story? In today’s episode, Michelle explores what changes when a recurring problem meets the Relational Coach. Instead of jumping straight into another solution, this coachslows down long enough to ask what the experience is actually like for the person. Because empathy and accountability are not opposites. We can create enough safety for someone to feel seen and understood while still inviting them to explore the choices they are making. Sometimes the most powerful coaching happens when there is room for both compassion and truth. Questions or comments? I’d love to hear from you!
