A Coaching Power Tool By Clark Luby
Career Coach, CANADA

The next time you are coaching a client, take into account this “Clarity vs. Confusion” power tool and see how this reversed perspective can assist your clients in getting the most out of a coaching session. The most frequent theme I see is when a client requests “clarity” during our coaching session. No doubt all coaches encounter this situation every day, as clients often encounter two questions: what do they want and where to start. People become confused when they are faced with too many choices, information, or emotions, making it difficult for them to make decisions or perceive a clear course of action. The great thing about coaching is that it gives clients the opportunity to have the coach act as a thought partner to help them with these two primary areas.
