When You Want To Fix It

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

Ever have someone share a problem and your brain immediately jumps in with, “Oh! I know what you should do!” Welcome to being human. In this episode, we explore Level One of the Five Levels of Coaching and what can happen when we resist the urge to fix and instead ask a question that helps someone think for themselves. Sometimes the best help isn’t having the answer. It’s helping someone discover their own. [email protected] Want to become more intentional in the way you coach,communicate, and help others grow? The Grow By 1 Coaching Academy begins September 20. Learn more at ca.growby1.com Reflection Questions When someone I care about struggles, how quickly do I moveinto fixing?

What question could I ask instead of immediately giving mysolution? Where in my life could I help someone createtheir own next step this week?
