I am incredibly excited today to be speaking with Donna Zajonc, Director of Coaching for The Center for The Empowerment Dynamic. Today’s episode is packed with so much helpful information, including tips and tools, that are very much needed by coaches in order to improve and grow.

Donna has a new book out entitled, Who Do You Want to Be on the Way to What You Want? Coaching with the Empowerment Dynamic. I am so fortunate to be able to have Donna on today’s episode to share some of the many wonderful resources from her book. As many of you may remember, Donna was on the show previously in Episode 42 and again, in Episode 44. If you missed her, please take time to listen to those episodes as well.

Show Highlights:

• Donna shares what she’s been up to lately including working full-time in coach training, education, and writing about The Empowerment Dynamic.
• Showing up for your clients is something Donna speaks about in her book, Who Do You Want to Be on the Way to What You Want? Coaching with the Empowerment Dynamic.
• Donna shares how we can/should activate our inner observer to self-observe during the moment in order to better serve our clients.
• Donna shares that by practicing, “I can create what I want in this moment, I can learn to be a challenger, and I can learn to coach” we are using 3 important rules of The Empowerment Dynamic.
• Meg encourages each of us to tap into ourselves, as coaches, in order to learn what triggers us.
• Notice and name it, along with having self-compassion are two important tools coaches should have in their toolboxes and are discussed by Sophia and RJ, two characters in Donna’s book.
• Being real and authentic, according to Donna, can be transformative.
• True inquiry is inquiring into the not knowing space, according to Donna.
• Tell 3 Stories, is a technique coaches can use with clients to enable them to broaden their perspectives. Donna uses this as an example with characters in her book.
• Donna says we can all learn a lesson from Sophia, a character in her book, when she is finally able to make friends with herself.
• Meg and Donna agree that becoming the most enlightened and best coaches we can be is paramount.
