Coaches play an important role in supporting clients as they lead, manage and grow their businesses and careers. To be as responsive to their clients’ needs as possible, it’s imperative for professional coaches to develop the ability to pivot; by modifying their methods and switching up their approach as needed, they can help clients meet ever-evolving challenges.
Many clients who are seeking guidance need coaching that goes beyond traditional models and formats, and when they find a coach who can adapt and stretch to help them achieve their goals and grow, everyone wins.
In a new article, I am joined by peers from the Forbes Coaches Council who share how they have pivoted their own coaching practices to better serve their clients.
How do I continue to adapt to provide the highest value to my coaching clients?
“I believe in meeting clients where they are. To do this effectively, I have modified the time frames of coaching engagements, added certifications in tools clients wanted to use with their teams and adapted workshops in real time to ensure that my clients were getting what they needed, even if it was different than what we had originally designed or scoped. Adaptability is a key attribute of a good coach.” – Jill Helmer
