Building relationships with clients during the Life Coaching process

Outline:

Building relationships with clients during the Life Coaching process

Introduction

Background

“Coaching requires sharing information and ideas in ways that change behavior and accomplish strategies”(Ulrich, 2008). In other words, a relationship is built through communication in coaching. However, in order for an individual to feel comfortable in sharing personal issues or interest, he or she must feel at ease around the coach and have a large form of trust. Indeed, “Until a relationship of trust is forged, coaching is more rhetoric than results” (Ulrich, 2008).

Thesis Statement: Building relationships with clients during life coaching is extremely crucial, therefore, coaches should utilize all of their learned skills where, with proper use, they can create trust with use of compassion, feedback, and active listening.

II.	The importance of utilizing compassion as a coach
	A.	How empathy and concern for others can open up the door to trust
		1.	“The coach should be supportive, non-judgmental, but challenging so that the client has willingness to be open, honest, and vulnerable” (Boyce & Jackson & Neal, 2010).
		2.	A coach can show acts of kindness and care by taking time out in the beginning of the first session to get to know the client to show them that they are listening and understand the client. Indeed, “A coaching relationship must have as its foundation a feeling of genuine interest and positive regard for the person being coached” (Hicks & McCracken, 2012).
	B.	Giving beneficial feedback creates strong relationships
		1.	“Learning to give feedback that helps comes only if the feedback helps the receiver change behavior and accomplish goals” (Ulrich, 2008).
		2.	Effective feedback focuses on “the future more than the past and helps the person self-discover” (Ulrich, 2008).

III.	Overall impact of active listening
	A.	What it takes to be an active listener
		1.	A coach should summarize what they have heard once in awhile
		2.	Ask questions to ensure no information is being left out -avoid advice giving -the coach’s goal should only be to gain insight into the client’s goals and interests. -The coach should listen to identify a course of action from the client

Conclusion:

In truth, “Coaches are not measured by what they know, but how they help others change because of what they know and do” (Ulrich, 2008). To be specific, in order for a coach to accomplish the required tasks of him or her in a particular field, they must make use of certain acquired tools and skills. Again, with proper use, a great coach can create trust, and establish a healthy relationship with use of compassion, feedback, and active listening.
