Structured Coach: Repetitive Problem

from Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life Hosted by Michelle Burkhard

Have you ever had someone bring you the same problem again and thought, “Wait... didn’t we already do this?” In today’s episode, Michelle explores what happens when a recurring problem meets the Structured Coach. Sometimes another goal, another plan, and another action step are exactly what someone needs. But sometimes they already know what to do, and the real coaching opportunity is hiding in the gap between knowing and doing. Instead of seeing repetition as evidence that coachingfailed, what if we treated it as new information? That shift from frustration to curiosity may reveal the very thing we missed the first time.

Reflection Questions What happens inside me when a coachee brings back a problem we have already discussed? How quickly do I assume that we need another goal, anotherplan, or another solution? When someone knows what to do but still does not do it, howcurious am I about the gap between knowing and doing? What might the recurrence of a problem be telling me that Idid not notice the first time? How could my coaching change if I treated repetition as newinformation rather than evidence that something failed?
