This week on The Practice Plan, we’re flipping the coaching conversation around a little bit. Over the past few weeks, we’ve spent a lot of time talking about:
What strong coaching questions look like (Both around goal setting and defining the way forward)
This week, I wanted to look at coaching from the other seat, and begin to answer the question: When should I be asking for coaching?
Most of us are carrying a lot at any given time. And when we need support, it’s easy to default into reactive strategies like venting, complaining, asking for advice, rescuing, or simply just trying to muscle our way through it on our own.
But there are certain moments when coaching can be one of the most effective forms of support we can ask for, because it gives us the time and space to think more clearly, more deeply, and more intentionally.
Today, we’re going to dive into some of those moments.
