Starting a coaching journey is a bit like picking up a new sport—you need the right mindset, coachability, and a solid partnership. Let me share a personal story to make this clear.
During lockdown, I decided to learn tennis. I found an instructor I really liked and even recommended him to friends. But no matter how hard I tried, the lessons just didn’t click for me. Fast forward two years, and with a new coach, everything started to fall into place. What changed? It wasn’t just about the techniques; it was about having the right mindset and being open to learning from a new perspective.
1. The Power of Mindset
Having a positive, growth-oriented mindset is crucial in any coaching relationship. It opens up new possibilities and learning experiences. When both the coach and the client are on the same page with their approach and expectations, it sets the stage for growth and success.
2. The Role of Coachability
Coachability, or the willingness to be coached, is another key factor. It means being open to feedback, ready to make changes, and eager to learn. Without coachability, even the best coaching techniques won’t work. My initial struggle with tennis wasn’t just about the coach’s ability; it was also about my own readiness to embrace the learning process.
3. Chemistry Sessions
This is why I emphasize the importance of a chemistry session before starting any coaching partnership. These sessions help ensure that we’re aligned on chemistry, coaching goals, and mindset. It’s a crucial step to build a strong foundation and set the stage for a successful coaching journey.
