A Coaching Power Tool By Darshini Santhanam
Personal Coach, UNITED KINGDOM
The most important conclusion a coach can draw from using the power tool of “Care vs. Control” is that clients are motivated to change and willing to consider alternative strategies. Supporting the client throughout this process will enable you to assist them in acquiring the abilities, perceptions, and coping mechanisms required to shift to a more sympathetic and constructive method of approaching their interactions with others. When referring to relationships or interactions with others, the word “control” often denotes a desire to manipulate or have an impact on other people’s actions or results. “Care” usually refers to a sincere concern for someone’s wellbeing or best interests when we use it with other people or in interactions with them.
