Description
The art of goal setting is one that coaches must master to be effective in creating sustainable progress for the client. From experience, coaches know that goals must lead a client to stretch while also being attainable (not too difficult or easy). For the brain to feel the most rewarded, the chance of success must not be certain, meaning that some level of failure is required for optimum motivation. This session will help coaches apply the neuroscience of challenge to well-designed actions while holding a safe and supportive space. Those coaching actions will include some risk in addition to being positive, specific, and measurable. Coaches will have the opportunity to explore how much risk they’re taking in their own practice and business as well as their relationship with risk-taking in client sessions.
