Last Sunday, my sixteen-year-old son, Blais, took me out to dinner. He was excited to share with me a little sushi place run by a husband and wife. We sat down and just as he finished telling me how the chef remembered everyone, the chef approached our table with a small plate of Blais’ favorite dumplings.
“It’s really cool when people just start a business they love. You can really feel they care about their customers,” Blais said. And then he asked me about my coaching business. (I’ve been sharing with him how much I enjoyed the courses I was taking and he celebrated with me when I got my certifications.)
“What if you don’t produce results for your clients?” he asked.
“That’s not really possible, because coaching is not a magic wand and I’m not making empty promises”, I replied and explained how coaching is not telling clients what to do, but rather it’s about guiding them to the knowledge they already have inside of them.
“You mean like when I ask you to help me with something and you don’t want to tell me, but keep asking me questions until I find a solution?”

“You mean like when I ask you to help me with something and you don’t want to tell me, but keep asking me questions until I find a solution?”
“Yes, exactly.” I smiled, remembering the many times when he’d beg me to just tell him what to do because it was easier than having to think about it and make his own decisions.
“Ugh, that’s hard, but it works,” he said.
“It’s only hard if people aren’t ready to do the work. When they know they want to change something in their life, and need guidance, support and empowerment, that’s when they need a coach.”
