HOW CAN IT BE SO HARD WHEN IT LOOKS SO EASY?
When it comes to Coaching, when you see someone really skilled at it, someone with years of experience, someone who has thousands of hours of experience in connecting, exploring, mirroring, inducing state, framing, etc., it looks so easy.
When it comes to Coaching, when you see someone really skilled at it, someone with years of experience, someone who has thousands of hours of experience in connecting, exploring, mirroring, inducing state, framing, etc., it looks so easy. These days, I hear that constantly as we have some of the PCMC level coaches demonstrate coaching. But then when they attempt to replicate what they just saw demonstrated, they say, “How can it be so hard?”
The answer is that there is a hiddenness about expertise. What’s hidden are all of the years that led up to the current expression of the expertise. When you see expertise, you are observing the end-result from literally years of practicing, streamlining, and integrating. You are observing someone who has taken the fundamental skills of matching, connecting, questioning, etc. and who has integrated those skills into his or her style and that’s why it seems so natural, so intuitive, and so easy.
