“I want to prove to them they are wrong!” my leadership coaching client said after I asked him for an example of his coaching goals. His goals were improving his negotiation skills and external relationships so he and his organization could be more effective.
“I want to prove to them they are wrong!” I invite you to pause and check in on what you are experiencing when you hear those words. Where might you go in a conversation like that, in this case a coaching conversation?
Strategize “like a chess game, listen more and ask powerful questions” like a coach, are the results of our coaching engagement as reported by the client.
