Our coaching clients often come to us when they feel like they've tried everything to make the changes they want in their life - and failed. By the time they arrive in our office, they may be deeply entrenched in a battle against themselves, fighting parts of who they are that they believe is unacceptable, and unworthy of love.
They’re putting everything they have into this fight without realizing that they’re actually working against themselves. That’s why, as Marc David, Founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating shares in this video, one of the most powerfully helpful things we can do to help our clients shift is to simply practice Unconditional Acceptance of our clients, exactly as they are.
And like all of the ideas in the Timeless Coaching Tips series, this isn’t just a skill for coaches, but something we can use to enhance ALL of our relationships with the people in our lives.
