A Coaching Power Tool By Anita Szabo
Career Coach, HUNGARY
One of the most common issues I see with coaching clients is Black & White vs. Critical Thinking. The problem with Black-and-White thinking is that it reduces a vast ocean of possibilities, options, and ideas to only two options. However, this idea is severely limiting. Clients may believe they must make either/or decisions; however, they can explore the infinite possibilities that exist in the middle. Amongst many examples, I experienced black-and-white thinking when we moved to a new country, quit a well-paying and well-respected job after a decade, and transitioned into coaching. Despite how much I hoped for a career break and to use my free time to engage in energizing learning.
