Not long ago I was among a group of new coaches who were having an interesting discussion about coaching someone who was un-coachable.
As the situation was described, I realized the coaching conversation was actually between two friends, not a coach and her client.
A friend was having a rough time and the coach, wanting to help, tried to coach her friend through it.
It didn’t end well.
And, they concluded the person was un-coachable.
That took me back to an unpleasant memory when I had just graduated from coach training 20+ years ago. Two of my good friends, who were married, were at my house for dinner and they started arguing.
Eager to use my coaching skills, I jumped in to coach them.
It devolved into losing my friendship for a time. It was a harsh lesson that I clearly needed. And it helped me to understand the ethics of coaching at a deeper level.
Are there situations where it’s okay to coach without a professional coaching relationship?
Let’s dig in to that.
