A common theme that I see in those wanting to become coaches is a passion for coaching. It may be that it’s a particular niche or process that has ignited that enthusiasm or it may be for the entire field.

Yet from time to time I come across coaches and those wanting to be coaches who have lost touch with that passion and are frustrated – maybe by their perceived lack of progress in their studies or growth of their practice.

There are lots of practical actions that you may be able to take in such a situation. Often in such a situation an individual may feel that they have done everything they can think of to do and yet nothing has worked.

The actual situation that is the source of the frustration can be very varied. With such a broad spectrum of potential “causes” this would be a very long post if I even attempted to cover a proportion of the scenarios.

Instead I am focusing a few minutes about your passion for your coaching and why you love(d) the idea of becoming a coach.

I invite you today to remind yourself of that and to (re)-connect with your passion for coaching and all that means for you. That may mean that you take a moment or two to really imagine, using all your senses, what you want to be doing as a coach.

Perhaps it’s about taking the time to actually go and physically do a coaching session with your own personal goal of being of service to that person.

Maybe it’s about reviewing testimonials and feedback that you have been given by past clients – or even writing a testimonial that you’d love to receive from your dream client.

Having (re)connected with your passion notice what occurs to you in this state about what you can do next with your coaching.

One thing I know as a coach is that when someone is feeling frustrated that the solutions that they are aware of for a given ”problem” can be very different to the ones that they can see in the same situation when they are feeling passionate. If nothing else it can be a great boost to your motivation and energy 😉
