Coaching Principles Part Six - It is not your problem


They come to you with a problem.  It is their problem - do not take it off them!

This might seem really obvious to you? 

One of the responsibilities for the coaching approach is to not solve the problem for them. 

As humans, we all probably like to help other humans?  However, the coaching approach requires that we help people in a particular way.  In fact, sometimes the best way to help someone is not to help them...in other words, give them the time and space to solve it for themselves.

Easier said than done!

Take care,
Paul
