A Coaching Power Tool By Michal Antczak
Leadership Coach, FRANCE
Using the Blending in vs. Belonging power tool, the client must understand that while it’s normal for most people to want to feel as if they belong, this desire is different from the need to fit in. The coach should support the client in exploring the distinctions between the two ideas throughout the coaching sessions, ensuring that the conversation is based on the client’s values, personality, and preferred behaviors. Ask them to point out the instances of outward compliance that make them feel stressed or anxious, whether it has to do with attempting to fit in with the standards of their social group(s) or meeting expectations from others.
