During the course of working with clients or when clients are first starting coaching for themselves as parents or for/with their children the question "should I _______ (something)?" or the related "what do you think I should do about _____?"
I also am constantly asked by clients, or people in the media what my opinions are about different topics including homeschooling, No Child Left Behind, Co-Sleeping, or a million other hot topics that hit the papers.
The short answer - my personal opinions are not relevant to the work that I do with my clients. The work that I do with clients is to explore and assist them in discovering what they believe is right for them, their children and their families.
So if I seem not to answer it's not because I don't have an opinion. If I answer a question by asking you a question it's not because I didn't hear or am evading the issue. I want to know more about what the issue means to you. How the issue impacts your life and how it might enhance or detract from your life. It's all about you and your life. Often clients who have referred their friends are intrigued that the outcome and process of coaching seems so different for them and/or their friend or acquaintance.
It's your life, your choices, your goals and aspirations. How could it all be the same for you as for everyone else?
Who, What, Where, When, Why and How something is right for you.
Enjoy the day - however you want to!
