The power of knowing where you are and deciding where you want to go

When you go to a train station you can ask for a ticket to take you to your destination. The ticket seller needs to know where you want to go….
“what is your destination?” before selling you the ticket to get you there. If you don’t know where you want to go, can you imagine the difficulty you may have in asking anyone to help you get there?
“Excuse me, can you help me get somewhere please?”
“Which somewhere?”
“ I don’t know” J J

In a coaching relationship, you need even more clarity than knowing where you want to go. Not only do you have to decide where you want to go, you have to tell your coach where you are right now. You have to be like a pilot asking traffic control for directions. In order to gain accurate feedback, you have to tell traffic control exactly where you are and where you wish to go in order for them to tell you whether you are “on track” or “off track”. Your coach, or traffic control, can only give you feedback ….they can’t fly your plane for you! J J

So ask yourself some powerful coaching questions?

1.Where am I in my life?
2.Where am I headed? (think carefully about this….it’s not always in the desired direction!)
3.How am I going to get to where I really want to be?
