In Singapore, the word “coaching” gets easily confused with “counselling” or “therapy”. 🤔 They are 2 different approaches and processes which have different outcomes.

Broading speaking, coaching is future-oriented and action-driven. Coaches see clients as creative, resourceful and whole. 🌱

In counselling, there is emotional healing and trauma processing. ❤️‍🩹 Counsellors may spend time on history taking to find out more about your past, r/s with family and others to understand how these may have influenced or shaped who you are today. They may also come in with psychotherapy or intervention during crisis.

Put it simply, work with a coach if it’s for everyday issues such as stress at work, procrastination or confidence issues as long as these are not affecting your day-to-day functioning as an individual. 🧑🏻‍💻

If you believe you are having maladaptive behaviours 😞 (for prolonged periods) which affect your ability at normal daily tasks, it may be useful to visit a counsellor or a therapy instead.

Remember, seeking help is not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of self-awareness and courage. The strongest people are often the ones brave enough to say, “𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚.” 💪🏻

The choice of words used, our body posture and tone of voice can change the perceived level of trust and psychological safety that our employee(s) in a conversation.

If you want to appear less confrontational and accusatory, it may be good to rephrase how you ask the question.

Instead of “𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪…”, start the conversation with “𝙃𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙢𝙚 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙…” ✅ where it creates the space for the staff to reflect upon themselves.

It’s a small shift but reaps big rewards if done right! 🌟👏🏻

Years ago, I was juggling a demanding role, leadership responsibilities and new motherhood. 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙖 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙥 𝙤𝙛 𝙛𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙- 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙭𝙩 𝙟𝙤𝙗. 😮‍💨

All these happened in the midst of COVID. That’s another “+1” for more uncertainties. 😬

There is an invisible pressure many PMETs carry- high self-expectations, comparison and the quiet belief that we should just be grateful and keep going.

What happens when gratitude turns into self-silencing? 😕

In this latest edition, we look at the internalised success metrics many PMETs live by, the cost of always being “the reliable one” and how coaching creates space to be human again- without judgment. 🌟

Are you the manager who is ALWAYS the solutionist? 😳

When you provide answers to all problems, you are training your team members to depend on you. 😕

How about using coaching to tap into their resourcefulness?

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙨𝙠💬:
1. “What’s the real challenge here for you?”
2. “What outcome do you want?”
3. “What’s your next step?”�
𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨:
✨ The first question creates clarity.
✨ The second builds ownership.
✨ The third drives action.

Remember, great managers don’t just solve problems, they develop and grow people. 🌱

Honoured to be spending a day of learning to understand more about Mindfulness from 𝘿𝙧. 𝙍𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙙 𝙎𝙞𝙚𝙜𝙚𝙡, 𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙨𝙮𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮, 𝙖𝙩 𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡, who flew in from Boston to conduct 2 days of workshops in Singapore.

Here are some key takeaways:�

🌟 𝙎𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙭𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙮 𝙗𝙮 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙪𝙙 suggests that anxiety arises in response to an internal conflict.
Eg: In order not to feel the anxiety, we reach out to our phone to make us feel better.
🌟 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 around 2 components that arise from pain: noticing the pain and the urge to do something about it.
🌟 𝘼𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 doesn’t mean passivity and not taking actions.
🌟 𝙉𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙗𝙞𝙖𝙨 means that our human minds tend to get stuck on the bad stuff that happens to us.�𝙂𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝: It takes about 5 positive experiences to “undo” one big fight for a couple.
🌟 “𝙐𝙣𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮” 𝙗𝙮 𝘿𝙧. 𝙆𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣 𝙉𝙚𝙛𝙛: Self-criticism, Isolation, Self-absorption. Antidote is self-compassion! 💖

🌱 𝙁𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 is a necessary component of all anxiety treatment.

Here are 6 mindfulness practices that can be integrated into your daily routine as a coach:

🌱 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 🧘🏻: Close your eyes, and focus on your breath. Allow your thoughts to come and go without judgment, simply returning your focus to your breath whenever your mind wanders. Aim for 10 minutes to start your day with clarity and centeredness.  
🌱 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚 𝙅𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 ✍🏻: Write down 3 things you’re grateful for. This practice helps to shift your focus towards the positive aspects of your life and cultivate a mindset of abundance, which can enhance your coaching presence and effectiveness.

🌱 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙨 😌: Choose specific anchor points in your daily routine to pause and practice mindful breathing. For example, you can take a mindful breath before entering or leaving a coaching session, before responding to emails, or before transitioning between tasks.

🌱 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜👂🏼: Strive to be fully present and engaged during coaching sessions. Maintain eye contact and use verbal and nonverbal cues to show that you’re listening attentively. Avoid interrupting or formulating responses while the other person is speaking. This fosters trust, rapport, and deeper connections with your clients.

🌱 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝘼𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 🗣: Choose statements that align with your goals, values, and intentions as a coach. For example, “𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙖𝙘𝙝,” or “𝙄 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙜𝙤𝙖𝙡𝙨.” Repeat these affirmations while focusing on their meaning and feeling the positivity they evoke. By affirming yourself, you are able to affirm and empower your clients more easily.

🌱 𝙍𝙚𝙛𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 💭: Set aside time at the end of each day to reflect on your coaching sessions, interactions with clients, and your own thoughts and emotions. Consider what went well, challenges faced and how you responded to them. You realise you’ve evolved in your coaching skills over time!

We often hear this, “I am a manager/team lead. I coach my team members at work.”

Are you really coaching? If yes, then you wouldn’t be telling them what to do or provide any solutions. Perhaps you have been mentoring them all this while. 🤭

Coaching is one word used rather loosely. 🤷🏻‍♀️ After all, we associate it to be what sports coaches do; to guide and share some techniques with us so as to improve our performance.

The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines coaching as “𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩-𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙭𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙯𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡.”

In professional coaching, we are thinking partners with our coachees. We do not advise or give solutions.

Another important note, we DO NOT diagnose or treat mental health illnesses, which is beyond our scope of work. Hence, for severe and chronic health issues, we refer clients out to mental health professionals who may be in better positions to take care of them.

Each approach—coaching, consulting, mentoring, and therapy—serves distinct purposes. Understanding their differences can help you choose the right path for your personal or professional development journey.

What do you think of coaching now that you are clear of its definition? 🤔
