ARE YOU A HUMOROUS COACH?

How humorous are you as a coach? If I were sitting outside of your coaching room, would I hear much laughing going on in your sessions? What does it actually mean to be a humorous coach? Does it mean telling jokes? For that matter, what is the interface between humor and coaching?

All of these questions, and many more, highlight one of the most missing ingredients in most coaching— humor. As a human resource, it is precisely what many clients need. It is definitely what every perfectionist needs! And given that most people who seek out a coach is a top performer or wants to be, a person who wants to achieve more, do more, think more, create more, etc., they are prime candidates to be victims of the occupational hazard of high achievers— getting too serious.
