What makes coaching different to other modalities is how dynamic the process is. It isn´t all talk and no action. Clients make decisions on how to act based on what their growing awareness is showing them. There is a tangibility to it, where AHA moments are catalysts for change. Nothing is left lying down and relaxing. Changes in ways of seeing lead to changes in feeling and, as a result, to new ways of thinking and behaving. These mini self-evolutions slowly build on one another till you start Being different, not just Doing differently because you incorporate these new insights and practices into your life. It´s real change from the inside out, so it sticks. These changes are the ´homework´ clients set themselves at the end of a session as part of realising their own action plan. At their own pace. A good coach won´t tell you what to do. They are masters at sniffing out the right questions to ask so you decide what changes you are capable of making at that point. Which is one of the reasons it works. And they hold you accountable. Which is also why it works. And when you don´t or can´t make the changes, together you will look at why, without judgment, and unravel that knot in the chain so you can get past it. It is a team thing, not a teacher-pupil relationship, so you are never not in charge. Which, ultimately, is the big, fat, red cherry on the top of why it works.
