Your coaching client is guarded and reluctant to open up. How can you break through their barriers?
As a coach or mentor, you may encounter clients who are guarded and reluctant to share their thoughts and feelings. This can be a significant obstacle in the coaching process, which thrives on open communication and trust. However, with patience and the right approach, you can help your client feel more comfortable and willing to engage deeply with the coaching journey. Breaking through these barriers requires a blend of empathy, active listening, and strategic questioning, all while creating an environment that feels safe for your client to open themselves up to the transformative experience that coaching can be.
