Was tun Sie, wenn Ihre Life Coaching-Entscheidungen nicht logisch begründet sind?

Full post will be available soon on my profile To improve your life coaching decisions lacking logical reasoning: 1. Reflect on your decision-making process. 2. Seek feedback and advice. 3. Enhance your critical thinking skills. 4. Consult with experts. 5. Keep learning and growing.

Begin by exploring the wilderness between intuition and reason. Ask yourself, "Where might my logic be faltering?" This isn't about doubting your gut but ensuring your compass isn’t just pointing north by happenstance. Reflect on whether your decisions are based on past experiences or influenced by biases that haven’t been examined under the microscope of mindfulness. Consider doing the following - 1. Mindfulness Practice: Use daily meditation or journaling to enhance awareness of your decision-making process. 2. Identify Cognitive Biases: Recognize and address biases that may influence your choices. 3. Scenario Planning: Employ scenario planning to visualize potential outcomes and validate decisions.

During my 15+ years in the coaching industry, there have been times when I felt that my coaching decisions lacked logical reasoning especially if my client was progressing. To resolve this I would take a step back and reassess the approach to ensure that the advice and strategies provided were effective and beneficial for the client. I would reflect on the decisions that seem to lack logic. I spent time evaluating my thought process and the reasons behind these decisions. Things I considered were, whether they were based on intuition, emotions, or insufficient information.

A logical thinker observes situations, reactions, feedback, or tasks and makes rational conclusions. Similar to critical thinking, logical thinking involves objectively studying a situation and using reasoning to develop a viable solution or generate ideas. These skills involve identifying patterns, correlations, and trends that can influence decision-making. Logical thinkers can justify their strategies, actions, and decisions because their conclusions arise from available facts. For example, suppose a customer has difficulty with downloading an application. A software developer who thinks logically would observe the situation and develop better applications based on their observation.

I use evidence-based coaching methods and psychological theories that are supported by research. This helps me to ensure that decisions are grounded in proven frameworks and methodologies.

Use facts and stories interchangeably. It is said facts tell but stories sell. Apply each where it matters. For instance facts are usually data and evidence driven. Stories are more emotional and Impact driven. Both facts and stories are however variable and can be validated. Ensure the sources are reliable, valid , relevant and credible.

Evidence could also be something based off of higher awareness alongside any practically based data. I believe we need to allow some wiggle room when we think of logical and effective because there are times that feeling also plays a part in coaching. Emotions are evidence as well. I have data driven tools that combine emotional understanding, spiritual awareness, and practical alignment that provides evidence based info needed to guide my clients where they need to be.

Be real and vulnerable to your process of gathering evidence. Be open to spaces that these evidences comes from Look into yourself to learn

This is an interesting topic because there is an implied assumption that a Life coach makes decisions on behalf of their client. As I have suggested even the exercise of logic to make a decision can be subjective. What is a fact? What is most important here is to equip my client with the skills to gather their own evidence, to make sense of their own experiences, what worked and did not work for them. To reach their own conclusions about the path to choose and the support to take along on their journey. It is important to help my client face into their own reality and this requires a delicate balance of emotional and logical processes. My coaching involves considerable improvisation and therefore logic is only one component of this.

Regularly challenge your own beliefs—turn them upside down and inside out. Are these beliefs serving your clients and yourself, or are they relics of past selves that no longer serve your growth? This process is like pruning a garden; it encourages new growth and fresh perspectives. Here are some questions that would help: - What assumptions am I making? - Why do I think this way? - What evidence do I have to support this belief? - Who benefits if I think this way? - What might I be overlooking? - Is there a counterargument I should consider?

When coaching people, it's super important to keep questioning and testing your own beliefs and assumptions. Here are a few friendly tips to help you challenge your beliefs and grow your mindset: Ask Questions Listen to Others Think Critically Be Open to Change Include Your Clients By continuously challenging our thoughts and welcoming new perspectives, we keep our coaching methods strong and relevant. Plus, it’s a great way to show our clients our vulnerability. Considering that learning and growing is a lifelong journey, when we learn something new, we rejuvenate!

A way to continue honing my life coaching skills was always to challenge my beliefs. Just because I was a life coach it didn't mean that I was the knower of all things and my thinking was always on point. I practice life-long learning so I can be of greater service and impact to my clients. Learning different perspectives challenges my beliefs and opens me up to greater knowledge.

Write down your beliefs and values. Journaling is a great way to distill thoughts. Reach out to me for life coaching at igcentre.org today :)

Routing to new ways and experimenting with new beliefs is the way to go I think Looking at a certain thing from a different and fresh persoevtive can sometimes help understand the situation drastically

I believe that developing your skills and looking at things from different perspectives would have a great impact on anyone's life in general and not only soecific area.

Continuous learning is crucial for a life coach. Engage in professional development through courses, workshops, and reading to improve decision-making skills and understanding of logical reasoning. Developing my critical thinking skills by regularly practicing problem-solving and analytical thinking helped me make more logical and well-thought-out decisions.

Adjust your approach. That means learn a new way of doing things. Learning is part of growth. Consider adjusting your coaching techniques, strategies, or methods based on the feedback received from the client. Tailor your approach to better meet the client's needs and goals.

The solution may be in building new capabilities. Here's how to identify areas for skill development: 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐳𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 - What skills would be necessary to achieve the client's goal? For example, if they want to launch a business, they might need to learn about marketing or financial management. 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 - Identify strengths that can be leveraged and areas that need improvement. 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 - Suggest books, courses, or workshops to help your client develop the necessary skills. Equipping your client with the right tools will empower them to navigate challenges and make well-informed decisions based on their newly acquired abilities.

I encourage self-awareness through mindfulness practices. Being aware of one’s own biases and thought patterns can improve logical reasoning and decision-making.

Regular reflection is key in the life of a life coach. While each coaching session is unique to the individual and the coach, there may be similarities in experiences and outcomes. Maintaining logical reasoning requires one to monitor their thinking for logical fallacies. Writing down thinking patterns and outcomes, be it good or bad will help with deciding what needs to be addressed in the LC’s life or practice so that they can have better results.

Decision journal is an invaluable practice for enhancing your decision-making skills. Record the details of each decision process, noting the circumstances, the different options you considered, the choice you made, and the outcome of that choice. Review of this journal allows you to identify consistent patterns and biases in your thinking. You might discover a tendency to favor short-term gains over long-term benefits,or you may notice that you frequently overlook certain kinds of information. Self-awareness enables you to adjust your decision-making process over time,leading to more thoughtful,balanced, and effective choices. Practice not only sharpens your critical thinking but also improves your ability to navigate complex situations.

Critical reflection is a powerful coaching tool. As mentioned I work with my horses who are co-facilitators. And sometimes they will provide strong evidence to me that I have not thought an activity through sufficiently. One of my clients wanted to ride a horse again after her diagnosis of autism. She struggled to interpret her emotional state and to concentrate effectively, to adequately take in instructions. My horse had no such difficulty. He knew that she was not fully present and responsive to his needs. He refused to let her mount him. Upon reflection I had asked too much of my client and my horse and not prepared her adequately. For my next client I allowed extensive rehearsal time and used calming mindfulness techniques.

La reflexión es clave, para estar en la humildad y el aprendizaje constante. Lo hago de modo regular y a la vez, lo comparto con mis clientes paar integrar su feedback en mis propias observaciones.

As a problem solving technique I use SWOT analysis to help me reflect if there are any personal biases, emotions or blind spots influencing my decisions. Discussing my reflections with my Coach/Mentor taking their Insights helps me evaluate better. Timely Reflections, discussing coaching style with my Mentor and continuous education helps me become better as a coach and help the client benefit more from the coaching sessions.

Decision-making is a complex process. When working with clients who are trying to determine a course of action, multiple factors come into play. Data and analytical reasoning are important contributors, but they're not the sole determinants in the decision-making process. Intuition can also be a valuable guide and its contribution shouldn't be ignored. A well-rounded approach to decision-making includes being open to both the logical and the intuitive.

If you notice that your life coaching decisions lack logical reasoning, it's essential to step back and reflect on your decision-making process. Consider seeking feedback from peers or mentors to gain insights into areas where you might be overlooking logical reasoning. Remember to approach feedback with an open mind and willingness to learn and improve.

Constructive criticism always has lasting positive impact to the coach who welcomes it. I believe that every life coach needs a tribe. It is important to surround yourself with people who are like-minded but also not like-minded in everything. Not being like-minded does not necessarily mean that someone does not have your best interest in mind. Sometimes, it's just a different perspective. It's all about how the feedback is being viewed and received. It is also important to have different perspectives in any room to bring out the very best outcomes. It can be tough sometimes, especially when the tone is not right, just keep the bigger picture in mind as you navigate things.

Being open to feedback is fundamental when working with life coaching clients. In my case this is two fold. How I am working with my client and my horse. The power of equine work with clients is that progress or otherwise is very apparent to all. And horses will give honest feedback with no ego. Straight from the horse's mouth is the cliche! I always invite HR practitioners to participate if they wish in coaching sessions after establishing suitable boundaries. With my NDIS clients I work closely with the team leader and sometimes multiple carers. On occasions honest, sometimes challenging feedback from a client or their carer provides me with the opportunity to improve my coaching practice to better focus on their priorities.

I like to add one more important point : Collaboration : Work with colleagues or mentors who excel in logical reasoning to learn from their approaches and techniques. Open Mindset to learning more , and receiving constructive criticism will help you to move forward!

Here's what I'd do with clients and also for myself: 1. Reassess the outcome you wanted. 2. Reverse engineer from you achieving the outcome ; what are the known obstacles 3. What might you be missing ? 4. Who do you know who has the outcome? How did they achieve it? Did you do your research ? When you discover something you set your sights on turns out to lack logic, chances are one or more of these 4 have been missed in considering your goal.

As a coach it’s important that you too have a mentor and or an accountability partner. This helps reflect any dis alignment and the will allow you to gather and recenter . What always assists me is to have a time with yourself before a coaching session and time with yourself after a session to analyze and reflect on this session. Some decisions need not be logical as long as it is guidance that comes in with the flow. In all this it is important to keep the coachees agenda in the forefront.

Taking the right life decisions require life experience, reflection, feedback and openness to learning. Some of my ideas are: 1. Reflect on your decision-making process to evaluate reliance on intuition and biases. Ensure that you take into account your own experiences and possibilities of being biased before taking any major decisions. 2. Seek feedback to obtain insights from colleagues and mentors. There is no better way of improving than feedback. Monitoring the impact of your previous decisions & building upon general structure you follow. 3. Working on your analytical skills and learning to be steadfast and neutral in times of crisis. 4. Stay open to learning to embrace a growth mindset and adapt based on experiences that you have.

I think the topic statement "your life coaching decisions lack logical reasoning" is rather ambiguous. Whose decisions are being referred to? As a coach, you don't make decisions for your clients; they have the autonomy to make their own choices. So the statement is moot. If it's about the decisions coaches make for themselves or their practice, then also it needs more context?
