Neutrality Did You Ever…

Have difficulty maintaining neutrality in the coaching process?

Internal state of a coach is one of the main tools.

Did you ever – Have difficulty maintaining neutrality in the coaching process?

One of the main indicators of a coach’s effectiveness is the ability when working with a client, to correctly enter a coaching position and remain in it throughout the coaching session.

Remaining neutral, non-judgmental, dispassionate, and non-judgmental when communicating with the client, the coach builds a trusting relationship, and at the same time can study in more detail and deeply the internal potential and capabilities of his client, his goals and aspirations, tasks, and ways to solve problems that have arisen.

Without judging or imposing his view, the coach gives the opportunity to take the broadest possible view of setting problems and finding new solutions. And it is precisely this position that will ultimately open transformational changes in his life for the client.

But sometimes you like a coach can get caught up in the client’s story and lose objectivity or the client’s feelings may be reflected in your soul, so you begin to see yourself or someone close to you in the client.

It is also easy to get hooked on topics that are of great interest: high-profile news, politics, and international events. It can be tempting to take sides or say yes to something, but when you do this, it also means you are saying no to something else.

Interestingly, even experienced coaches become affected by their clients’ feelings, But they quickly notice when this happens to them. 

At the UCA Event – Neutrality, I will give techniques that allow you to easily switch from one role to another, and teach you to remain calm and neutral in emotional situations with clients. Train emotional stability regardless of external circumstances and support yourself during periods of emotional instability. Techniques that will help you improve your coaching competencies and become more useful for clients.
