Skilled Coach: Repetitive Problem
from Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life Hosted by Michelle Burkhard
What if the problem that keeps showing up isn’t really theproblem at all? In today’s episode, Michelle explores what happens when a recurring problem meets the Skillful Coach. Instead of treating each situation as an isolated event, this coach begins listening across conversations, noticing repeated language, behaviors, commitments, and responses that may reveal a larger pattern. But noticing the pattern doesn’t mean we get to decide whatit means. The coach can offer what they see, but the coachee remains the meaning maker. Sometimes the greatest gift we can offer is simply, “Here’s something I’m noticing. What do you notice?” Questions or comments? I’d love to hear from you!

Reflection Questions What patterns might I notice if I listen across coachingconversations instead of only to what is happening today? What words, behaviors, commitments, or responses seem torepeat for the people I coach? How can I offer an observation about a pattern withoutdeciding what that pattern means for the coachee? When I notice a pattern, am I genuinely curious about whatthe coachee sees, or am I hoping they will confirm what I already think? What recurring problem might become more useful if westopped treating each occurrence as an isolated event?
