You know you've succeeded as a coach when...

Had a great conversation with a fantastic coaching client this evening. She is completly engaged in each of our sessions and is an active learner. We've been working together for a few months now and we've grown close, but also I have had the privilege of watching her grow and blossom and make so much wonderful progress.

Tonight, we had many giggles when at the end of our call, she began telling me what her homework was for this next week. I had to laugh and shared with her as well, "that you know you have done a good job as a coach when your client begins to tell YOU what her homework will be, instead of the other way around!" When we both stopped laughing, she shared her awareness at how much more accountable to herself she had become. That's one of the ways you know you've succeeded as a coach...

Stay contagious!
