Safe space<\/strong><\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Let\u2019s begin with the first element of deep listening \u2013 safe space.<\/p><p style=\"color: #000000 !important; --tcb-applied-color: #000000 !important;\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Creating a safe space for your clients to open up during a session has to do with practicing non-judgement.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">It&#8217;s about building rapport with your clients in every single session. Non-judgement is about keeping your mind and your heart focused on your client\u2019s potential not on their mistakes or missteps.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Non-judgement opens the door to a level of deep listening that allows the client to trust you and feel completely comfortable and safe. This will give them permission to open up and share, be vulnerable, and it will be ultimately, where the magic of transformation happens.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">2. Authentic Response<\/strong><\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">The next element of deep listening is authentic response and this is about demonstrating that you are truly listening to your client.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">There are a number of ways to communicate deep listening and it includes maintaining eye contact and nodding slightly now and again when your client is speaking.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">These are tiny shifts that may feel insignificant in the grand scheme of things but, in reality, these are powerhouse moves that let your clients know they\u2019re being seen, heard, and understood.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">3. Focus<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"color: #000000 !important; --tcb-applied-color: #000000 !important;\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">The third element has to do with directing your thoughts on your client while keeping your personal emotions out of the conversation.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Remember, this isn\u2019t a casual conversation with your best friend over coffee. This is your coaching client and, as a dedicated coach, you\u2019re here to give him or her all your focus and attention.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">If complete focus doesn\u2019t come easily to you right away, don\u2019t be too hard on yourself. It\u2019s only normal to notice that your mind wanders off from time to time\u2026 after all, you\u2019re human!<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Know that with time and practice, you can

communicate what their clients need to know and not necessarily what they want to hear.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Knowing how to be honest and truthful with your clients will help them quickly close the gap between where they are now and where they want to be.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Honesty is especially critical when you can see that your client is thinking, behaving or taking action in a way that is not in their own best interest.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">What this means is &#8212; sooner or later &#8212; you\u2019ll need to share your insights and offer supportive feedback, so you can help your clients get back on the fastest path to their biggest goals and dreams.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Some coaches feel uncomfortable offering feedback, but the truth is, coaching isn\u2019t a one-way conversation. It\u2019s a 2-way communication.<\/p><p><strong data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Supportive feedback is a great way to help your client understand that they\u2019re off track and no longer on the path that leads to their goals.<\/strong><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"coaching_skills_image-min\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/coach\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/coaching_skills_image-min.png\" alt=\"supportive feedback in coaching\" width=\"356\" height=\"283\" data-id=\"15043\" data-init-width=\"356\" data-init-height=\"283\" data-width=\"356\" data-height=\"283\" data-uw-rm-ima-original=\"supportive feedback in coaching\" \/><\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Supportive feedback can help your client feel empowered and motivated while negative feedback can leave them feeling deflated or disheartened.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">When it comes to offering supportive feedback, you need to stick to what we like to call the <span style=\"font-family: Gilroy-Bold;\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">\u201cGoldilocks Rule.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"goldilocks-min\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/coach\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/goldilocks-min.png\" alt=\"the goldilocks rule\" width=\"1000\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"13230\" data-init-width=\"1008\" data-init-height=\"484\" data-width=\"1000\" data-height=\"480\" data-uw-rm-ima-original=\"picture frame\" \/><\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Supportive feedback also highlights your client\u2019s behaviors and actions, not their innate personality.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">For instance, \u201c<em data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">You are not aligned with your values in this situation<\/em>\u201d is about the client, while \u201c<em data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Your values need to be prioritized in this situation<\/em>\u201d is about their behavior.<\/p><p style=\"color: #000000 !important; --tcb-applied-color: #000000 !important;\" data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Focusing on behaviors and actions over personality is the best way to make sure your client doesn\u2019t end up feeling judged or blamed for who they are and it\u2019s a powerful way to communicate difficult feedback effectively.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Another crucial point to remember about supportive feedback is that it isn\u2019t an opportunity to tell your client what to do.\u00a0<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"feedback-min\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/coach\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/feedback-min.png\" alt=\"feedback is not instruction\" width=\"614\" height=\"70\" data-id=\"13253\" data-init-width=\"614\" data-init-height=\"70\" data-width=\"614\" data-height=\"70\" data-uw-rm-ima-original=\"a white and red flag\" \/><\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Supportive feedback is about sharing your insights and reflections around your client\u2019s situation or challenge and then offering your suggestions or recommendations.<\/p><p><strong data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Keep in mind\u2026<\/strong><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"keep_in_mind-min\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/coach\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/keep_in_mind-min.png\" alt=\"why is feedback a coaching skill\" width=\"1000\" height=\"210\" data-id=\"13232\" data-init-width=\"985\" data-init-height=\"207\" data-width=\"1000\" data-height=\"210\" data-uw-rm-ima-original=\"text\" \/><\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\" data-uw-rm-mod=\"\">Coaching is a skill like any other skill.

Such feedback helps your client identify and nurture different facets of their life \u2014 both personal and professional. Great feedback creates an impact on the client, and that leads to positive transformation; a successful coaching.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">This begins to reflect on you as an effective life coach.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">As you move forward, you will notice that these essential skills help you build a true connection with your client. By sharpening your ability to empathize without judgement, you can build trust with your clients. This helps you expand the effectiveness of your coaching skills training.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Do remember that, as a life coach, you need to keep your eye on the ball \u2014 focus on the desired outcome. At the end of the day, without an outcome, a coaching session is considered a failure.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Set your vision, goal and outcome for each coaching session and use your coaching skills to achieve them.
