Now, as a new coach going into your first coaching session, you can have a myriad of emotions\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
You may feel overwhelmed, uncertain, a little scared, a little anxious, and a lot excited.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
All of these feelings are great, but it\u2019s important to understand why you\u2019re feeling this way.<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n

It\u2019s mostly because you are uncertain about how<\/em> your first coaching session is really going to go\u2026 about how that first conversation with your client will blossom\u2026 about whether you will do a great job or not.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Recognizing why you are feeling all of these emotions is critical in maintaining your composure and going into your session with awareness, preparation, and a touch of confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n As discussed, it\u2019s important to bring awareness to your emotions and then work towards regulating them so you can go into your first coaching session feeling competent and confident.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n This is because when we are too emotional<\/em>, our rational or logical minds tend to turn off. Which can lead us to take action based purely on our emotions.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Here are a few things you can do to calm yourself down before your first coaching session:<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Once you have regained composure and feel in control of your emotional state, you must do the following four important things to successfully conduct your coaching session.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\nHow to regulate your emotional state<\/h2>\r\n
