Today, I want to talk about adjacent living.

Adjacent living is that lingering sense that we`re close to our purpose, yet something holds us back from fully realizing it.

Consider this: If we don`t step into our unique purpose, no one else will fill that void. The impact we`re destined to make on the lives around us hinges on our willingness to embody our true calling.

So, let`s pause and reflect. Are we merely adjacent to our purpose, or are we actively living it? Our influence on those we interact with is shaped by how we live out our authentic purpose.

Let`s commit to not just skirting the edges but diving into the depths of our calling. The world deserves to receive the gifts only we can offer in our unique capacities. You deserve it, too.

DM me if you`re ready to take steps to align closer to your true purpose and maximize your impact as a coach.

Thursday Coaching Tip: How do you give feedback to clients without micromanaging?

Remember - Coaching is never about our opinions or what we think a client should do. Coaching is about helping clients get to their own answers through reflective listening, powerful questions, and direct communication.

When a client asks you, "What do you think?" Turn that question back around and ask them what they think. The client needs to reflect inward and go deeper. We`re so used to the world offering advice and input that we often jump to help, not allowing the client to have a learning moment to work through their issues.

If you do have advice for your client, use The Sandwich Technique.
For example: "I got something for you; would you mind if I shared it?" or "I heard you say X" and make your suggestion." Then, ask if it fits what they need.

By doing this, you`re following the ICF Core competencies and staying out of managing the client.
