Learning Lab: Coaching & Context

Learning Labs
June 15, 2023

Learning Lab #46

"What got in the way?"

We’ve all been there. We believe we’ve facilitated a brilliant coaching session for the client. They had multiple insights and made several commitments to action. Next session they return without having achieved any of them.

“What got in the way?” we ask gently. “I don’t really know. I feel like a failure.”

Cue some work on the client’s self-limiting beliefs around failure and off they go again.

Reflecting on a blog piece by fellow coach Aboodi Shabi, we got thinking about the coaching context and, more specifically, how to bring the client’s wider context into our coaching with them.
