A Coaching Power Tool By Dana Wu
Career Coach, UNITED STATES
I have developed a power tool to help clients move from judgment vs. curiosity. The best way to use this power tool is to investigate how judgment manifests itself in the client. By viewing the situation through the lens of judgment vs. curiosity, the client may become aware that what appeared to be facts are actually judgments. Clients can then try on a more curious perspective and see how the challenges at hand change. For example, a client may begin by stating that their goal is “too difficult.” Coaching may help the client realize that it is not a fact but rather a judgment. It is possible that the client is afraid of failure. When the focus is on how to take steps toward the goal rather than the possibility of failure, the client may allow curiosity to pull him forward.
