This week, I wanted to open up about something deeply personal, and use it as a lens to explore a new model of coaching I'm being trained in, called Compound Coaching. It has a three-part framework: sharing your struggle, receiving the signals of "I get you" and "I got you," and then asking yourself what advice you'd give to someone else in the same situation. I learned firsthand what actually helps people when things fall down all around them, and spoiler alert, it's not fortune-cookie wisdom or unsolicited advice. Empathy and human connection are far more powerful catalysts for change and for comfort than any tool or tactic a coach could offer.
