Client Story: a "Subtle Bulldozer"

One of my long-standing clients faced a particularly thorny problem 'head-on' last week. As a result, she was able to identify the precise steps she wanted to take ... and implement them to great success.

Being able to talk through issues like this with an objective advocate is one of the many benefits of working with a coach.

There's a "subtle bulldozer" quality of coaching (her term) that not only helps people plan for action, but also helps them clear away the debris that often keeps them from being as creative, confident, resolute, and fun-loving, as they would like. And it does it in a way that makes the heavy lifting seem that much less so.

I guess I wanted to blog about this client story in part to recognize her success and because I really appreciate the clarity her description offers about the coaching process.
