Support services and personal development, either they are the reason for a real change for the person and contribute to raising awareness and personal development, or maybe they do not make any change, so we must know how to benefit from the coaching sessions, and we stay away from all the reasons that may be a reason for poor benefit and may not The purpose of the session is achieved because of its presence, and these reasons are divided into reasons related to Life Coach or the beneficiary.
In this article, I will show you some of the reasons and how to avoid them and get the most out of coaching services.
Four reasons related to the beneficiary:
1- Waiting for advice and solutions from the coach.
Some beneficiaries expect that once he tells Life Coach about the problem or challenge he faces, Life Coach will provide him with a set of ready-made tips and solutions, and this does not happen because it is not the role of the professional Life Coach to provide solutions to the beneficiary, so the role of Life Coach must be clarified in The coaching session is for the beneficiary, and this happens at the beginning of the session, so that the beneficiary of the coach does not wait to give him advice or provide a solution. For the purpose of the session, the questions posed by the Life Coach help in creating a new awareness that helps in solving the problem.
2- Commitment and willingness to change.
Coaching services in order to succeed require a great deal of commitment and responsibility from the beneficiaries to implement what is agreed upon at the end of the session. If the degree of commitment during and after the session is weak, this affects the success of the coaching sessions, and vice versa if the commitment and application increases, the success of the sessions increases and the impact of them is noticed.
3- The perfect solution at this time.
When the beneficiary requests a coaching session, the life coach has the right to make sure of his readiness for the session. After the life coach talks with the beneficiary, he may notice that he suffers from a psychological disorder and at this time he needs a doctor or psychiatrist and not a life coach, and it is not preferable for the beneficiary to insist on completing the session After the life coach explained to him this, because the results are sure to be unsatisfactory for him, because the life coach deals only with the mentally healthy, so the coach explains to the beneficiary to communicate with a doctor or therapist and after completing the treatment period, he can conduct a coaching session after that.
5- Expectations
Some expect that once he attends a coaching session, everything will change, and this is not true, because coaching sessions are a means and not a goal, although in some sessions the beneficiary reaches what he wants, while other sessions do not happen, because each session has its own nature and goals that the beneficiary sets. Some sessions come out of it with practical steps, and stay on
The beneficiary is obligated and started to implement.
8 Reasons Why Life Coach:
The reasons related to coaching revolve around whether the coach is qualified to do coaching sessions or not.
Among these reasons:
1- The inability of the Life Coach to build mutual trust between it and the beneficiary.
2- If the life coach does not give the required focus to the beneficiary, this affects the quality of the sessions.
3- Poor communication between the coach and the beneficiary.
4- The Live Coach does not give a space of time in which the beneficiary speaks.
5- The Life Coach projected his personal problems on the beneficiary, for example to mention his personal challenges on the beneficiary’s problems
in the session.
6- Giving advice during the coaching session instead of helping the beneficiary and giving him space to reach the answers himself.
7- Not to follow up after the session, and to know the limitations that stand in front of the beneficiary.
8- Not setting a specific goal during the session, and the session was turned into a session, so he dismissed it.
Avoiding making these mistakes Life Coach helps in the success of the coaching session, and then this will benefit the beneficiary.
