Setting a Coaching Outcome

“In order to consciously and proactively evolve, you need to commit to something specific. Otherwise, you’ll reactively and randomly evolve based on whatever is happening outside of you.” -Benjamin Hardy

The first thing I do with a new client is guide her to identify, with precision, what she wants to achieve through coaching.

Most of my clients don’t show up knowing what they want to achieve, not with any precision. They have a vague sense of a potential that they can’t quite realize, but without knowing exactly what it is. They have a sense of what’s holding them back and what they want to change, but little clarity on where they want to go.

It is so important to cue into one specific area to focus our intention for change. Most women want to improve on all kinds of levels: health, creativity, career, relationships, spirituality, everything. Yet when we take a scattershot approach to improving ourselves, we can never quite get traction in any realm and end up feeling constantly underwhelmed by the results.

For many it at first feels counterintuitive to pick just one area to focus on (because they all matter). But in fact what happens is, when we get radical traction in one area, it has a powerful ripple effect out into every other realm of our lives.
