What If They Don't Need A Solution?

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

What if the person you’re trying so hard to help doesn’tactually need your solution? Ouch. Sometimes people don’t need us to fix the problem, make the discomfort disappear, or share the brilliant story about how we handled something similar. Sometimes they simply need a safe place to tellthe truth. In this episode, we explore Level Two of the Five Levels of Coaching and the power of helping someone feel seen, heard, valued, and understood. Want to become more intentional in the way you coach,communicate, and connect with others?

What would change if I became more curious about someone’s experience before trying to change it?
