Executive Life Coaching involves uncovering desires across life, work, and home. Often, articulating these desires proves challenging, and my role is to draw out these aspirations, transforming the initial sketches of goals into vibrant, colorful paintings that ignite imagination.
A Client Story
The CEO advised that a 70% readiness level sufficed for project launch, yet my client habitually aimed for a 90% threshold. Recognizing the CEO's preference for swifter launches, we delved into coaching sessions targeting my client's fear of imperfection in project launches. Over a few sessions, there was a notable breakthrough - my client successfully launched the project at an 80% readiness level, marking a significant shift from his usual standards.
I Need More Clarity
The pursuit of clarity can become a stumbling block. While clarity is essential, there's a fine line between seeking it and falling into its trap. Here's how clarity can impede progress:
· Fear of Imperfection – I’ve got to get it right.
· Over-analysis Paralysis – If I consider every possibility.
· Fear of Change – Yikes!
· Unrealistic Expectations – It’s got to be this way!
· Comfort Zone – I won’t deal with it now.
Striking a balance between clarity and ambiguity is crucial for professional advancement. Through coaching, I delve into the layers of obstacles that cause delays, igniting action and streamlining the decision-making process.
Within my practice, I aid business executives in navigating the clarity trap by unraveling the emotional underpinnings behind these delay tactics. Leveraging the Emotional Fluency process, we bridge the gaps in clarity, that leads to swifter decision-making.
