#027 Goal Setting in Coaching

In today's episode we are exploring how to use goals in coaching. Goals are a fundamental pillar of coaching and the coaching relationship. Some people will be very clear on their goals, while others will have less clarity and either of these positions work well in a coaching session.

What you will learn in this episode:

• Why working with goals is important
• How you can approach goal setting in different ways
• The difference between a symptom goal and a cause goal
• The difference between comfort, stretch and panic in goal setting
• How the fear of failure can impact goal setting
• Is it possible to move away from SMART goals?
• The importance of a coach and coachee working in partnership to set goals

It's thought that people come to coaching because of goals they want to achieve, but really people come to coaching because of how they feel. Emotions are integral to powerful coaching.
