Coaching From Essence: Create a Thriving Practice Doing Powerful Work With Clients You Love

Our role as coaches is to help our clients create B-prime—something that is better than they could imagine for themselves when they began to work with us.

“What’s different? What’s different since the last session? What’s different since we first started working together?” What we pay attention to grows, and what goes unnoticed withers. If they can notice some positive change, however small, we can amplify it. That’s food for the journey.

I always start by helping my clients articulate their Quest(ion). What is it that’s missing? What are they longing for? What is the life that is trying to be lived through them? What are their tropisms? (Tropisms are what we naturally turn toward, the way plants naturally turn toward the light.)
