A Coaching Power Tool By Maurizio Salucci
Transformational Coach, ITALY
In coaching, it’s essential to understand the difference between Being vs. Doing. Doing pertains to all the client’s outward manifestations, including their actions, decisions, and behaviors. Being is linked to the “who.” It’s a result of their characteristics, outlook, and mindset. It’s their way of thinking, their presumptions about who they are and where they belong in the world. As was previously mentioned, when we choose to change, we frequently begin at the Doing level. We try to try new things or approach things in novel ways. On the Being level, however, we haven’t really paid attention. As a result, the change is transient, and we eventually revert to our pre-existing defaults.
