How to Become a Life Coach with PERSONA-COACH - Video #15 - Wait for the PAUSE!

Wait for the PAUSE!

Hello, my name is Allan Mulholland.

I’m the author of “The POWER of PERSONA PROFILING” and creator of PERSONA-COACH™, a unique and proprietary method of Life and Business Coaching that is fundamentally different from any other conventional coaching model. 

In this series of daily mini-videos, I will feature one specific quote or strategy taken from the Power of Persona Profiling or the PERSONA-COACH™ Certification Program.

Each quote is 100% original, authentic and unique and contains a valuable message for any Life/Business Coach!

Here’s today’s quote or strategy:

Wait for the PAUSE!

In yesterday’s video, I explained the importance of maintaining control over your coaching sessions!

If you don’t control the coaching session, then your client will!

And when that happens, you can no longer deliver the desired results your client hired you for!

You’ve just lost your client!

I’ve seen many coaches lose control over the coaching session because they were afraid to pull in the reins!

Sadly, some of these coaches were taught to let the client control the session.

“Let the client set the agenda” is a quote from a highly respected coaching manual.

After all, the client is paying for the session!

Well, I don’t know about you, but I consider myself a coach and not a “sounding board”.

So I will ask my client a lot of questions.

Each question is designed to get me closer to the ‘root cause’ of my client’s problem.

If I allow my client to control the conversation, we will simply skim the surface without ever getting to the “bottom” of the issue!

In my PERSONA-COACH™ Certification Program, I teach you step-by-step how to complete the jigsaw puzzle that represents your client’s problem.

Each piece of the puzzle is given to me as the result of a probing question.

And how do I know when the puzzle is complete?

How do I know that I’m about to receive the final piece?

 How do I know that we’re finally at the bottom of the issue?

I can always tell by the lingering PAUSE, before my client responds to my final question!

So, what is my FINAL QUESTION?

Find out tomorrow, in the next segment of PERSONA-COACH™ Strategies for Success!
