There are plenty of coaching programs with all kinds of techniques that come and go. But some coaching techniques are timeless. And one of the most important of these coaching techniques is this: Relaxing into the Unknown. It’s one thing to know all kinds of facts and protocols. It’s another talent to be able to navigate with a client when the path ahead isn’t quite clear.
Simply put, the more you can relax into the unknown, the greater will be your skill and power as a helping professional. There is no surefire way that we can make someone lose weight, take away their eating issue, or help them have more energy and love their body. Welcome to uncertainty. The Zen masters of all would often call this “the wisdom of don't know.’ There is actually a beautiful wisdom in relaxing into the fact that we don't know. This isn't an admission of weakness. It's not an acknowledgment of stupidity. It's in no way self-deprecating.
It's a simple statement of human cosmic truth. We're telling it like it is. We're being honest with ourselves, and with the universe. And from that place, we can relax, smile, sink into our body, sink into the moment, and actually show up for our client. Check out this video from IPEtv where Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating takes a deeper dive into how to become a great coach. You'll discover some much needed wisdom and insights that can help you powerfully serve your clients, friends and loved ones.
