Therefore,it's perfectly fine to badmouth your boss.

In this way, itthe psychological safety that ensures that what is shared is neverbecause ofas their true self, and in the process, gain new insights.

I actually received coaching

The coaching process is as follows:

First from the coach,

"Has anything good happened recently?"

"Are you worried right now?"

"Do you have any goals you want to achieve?"

These are some rathervague questionsthat are posed.

As I answer that,

So, which goal do you think is more important to you?

"You were going to die tomorrow. What would you choose to do?"

In this way, you can ask more and more in-depth questions

As you answer these questions, your thoughts will become clearer, and ultimately,what you "value"and what your"core values"you will see

Jun-san,you're really good at asking questions like that...

 

I'm shy and not very good at talking about myself,

's supposed to keep secretsa professional listener whoEven withit would be impossible to tell someone I'd only met three seconds ago everything about myself.I thoughtinto meetingten minutesJun, I was telling him things I'd never even told my best friend.(His listening skills are truly amazing.)

It's not that I have a lot of secrets, but in everyday conversations, even with close friends, I, "If I talk about this (like complaining), it'll probably be a nuisance..." So, the fact that I can talk so honestly with you must be because of your excellent listening skills, Jun.

I feel like I can tell Jun anything I want,

"Hmm, maybe Jun and I have become really good friends?"

With that in mind, I invited Jun-san out for a meal, but shesubtly declined.

for working adults"We'll consider it positively" and"Let's go out for drinks again sometime!"There are probably no more unreliable phrases

Various coaching techniques beyond just listening

Coaching not only helps you organize your thoughts through in-depth questioning by the coach, but it also sometimespsychological techniquesto help you become aware of your true feelings.

In my case, Jun-san told me to stand up from my chair, so I tried standing up,

"From now on, you are another you. If you were to say something to yourself sitting in that chair right now, what would it be?"

I received questions like these

You wouldn't come up with this way of organizing your thoughts on your own

 

Another example is, "Imagine you are the person you respect the most. What do you think that person would say to you?"

There was a way to ask questions like this

This kind of perspective is important, isn't it?

 

On another occasion, Jun-san"Please squat down now,"told me,

"Huh?"I thought, but I squatted down as instructed.

 

"From now on, youa cat. What would thatcatsay to you?"

 

I've even been told that

I'm very sorry, but at this time

 

"Whya cat, I wonder..."

 

I was so preoccupied with that thatI couldn't really concentrate on the coaching.

Maybe I should have said something like, "I think you're being too selfish right now."

Coaching is a mental detox

While there may be individual differences, the fact thatcoachingallows you to talk about anythingthe darker side of yourself (negative emotions) that you usually keep hiddenmight mean that you'll see

by not ignoring my darker side but instead confronting it properly, I can graduallydeclutter my thoughts (negative emotions disappear)I've come to realize that
