Most of us have been there: our clients are not hitting their targets, they’re not doing their work, in some way or another they’re not achieving what they came to coaching for. Is this your fault? The client’s? Do any of you need to work harder? How do you address this? In this episode of talking about coaching our residents Yannick, Siawash and Nicki are exploring how we might navigate such situations. We talk about contracting, how to make sure that your client is getting what they want, or perhaps what they need, we talk about what the purpose of coaching is and appreciate the range of coaching approaches, some more and some less fixated, oriented, or focused on results. _____________________________CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION over in our Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/talkingaboutcoachingMORE DEEP DIVES into coaching at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEK9UENWT66D6uqPJhCznXNhc9Ba9jiteSHORT EPISODES of Talking about Coaching addressing specific questions: https://www.youtube.com/talkingaboutcoachingYou can also find us on all major podcast platforms.If you'd like to SUPPORT WHAT WE DO, please consider a positive review, leave a comment or tell a friend or colleague about this episode.You can also BECOME A PATREON at https://www.patreon.com/talkingaboutcoachingSEE GREAT COACHES IN ACTION by joining Yannick's Coaching Lab.
