A Coaching Power Tool By Angela Stockinger
Career Coach, SPAIN
What is the opposite of Fear or Anxiety vs. Courage? What will happen to clients who claim they need a plan or more clarity? What exactly are they seeking? When you use these types of questions to test a client, they frequently respond that they will feel better about themselves, have more peace of mind, and feel better about themselves as a result. To me, courage is what it takes to get there. The courage to delve deeper, the courage to reflect on what is under your control while facing hard truths, the courage to name unpleasant emotions, the courage to – at times – accept that you are not ready to move on and view this as a lesson. Courage will enable one to deviate from the norm and take decisions, but getting there may take some time.
