Q:What have broken trust, listening, a car-park and a horizon got in common?
A:They all featured in a piece of coaching delivered to a client and all played their part in enabling the person to move forward.
My client had been let down by people he had trusted. Their "friendship" was in fact the systematic exploitation of a vulnerable person. Their behaviour had destroyed his trust in others and his confidence in himself. He had to all intents and purposes, evolved into a barely employable recluse
It was important to design with him an approach that stood a chance of working for him
We agreed on this
"Words have meaning and power beyond the obvious and we need to develop good communication."
We also agreed
We also agreed
"The actions that had led up to the situation were talked out and that going over them time after time was not going to help-we needed to describe a positive and achievable future"
So, our sessions focused on the achievable and how we might reach inwards to discover the strengths that would make the journey possible.
The following link takes you to a brief clip where I describe how we approached the challenge. It's a great example of what we do here and how prepared we are to reach out to establish some common ground within which we can nurture the beginnings of progress.
