Transformational Coach: What Should I Do?

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

What if “What should I do?” isn’t really about the decisionin front of you? What if the deeper question is about who you believe you are supposed to be? In today’s episode, Michelle explores what happens when thisquestion meets the Transformational Coach. A promotion may look like success on paper, but what happens when our definition of success, growth, or potential begins to change? Sometimes we discover that we have been trying to want what we think a successful person should want instead of becoming curious about what actually matters to us now. Transformational coaching isn’t about guiding someone toward the more enlightened choice. It’s about helping them see themselves, their beliefs, and their choices with greater clarity so they can decide from who they are becoming rather than who they once thought they had to be.

How can I help someone explore a deeper belief withoutbecoming attached to which decision they ultimately make? If I did not have to prove anything through the decision infront of me, what might I choose?
