I'm so happy you found it helpful Ash! Yes Ros Emely was amazing for volunteering!!! I'll tell her you said so

[@sonewton1]

Thank you for posting this video! Ros Emely, your presence and vulnerability = courage has really helped someone like me who is just beginning and exploring life coaching. You are inspiring! 💕

[@KristaKathleenCoach]

Thanks for watching So Young! So excited for you to start coaching others this year too

[@JacquesChevon]

This session is literally how I feel too! Thank you so much for showing this session. ❤️

[@KristaKathleenCoach]

thank you for watching!

[@HelpMeJesus2]

Thank you! Love this! My favorite part was when ''your future self' had such a great perspective. So, connecting with our future self, can keep us from getting stuck in our present fears. Brilliant!! Love it 💕💕

[@KristaKathleenCoach]

So glad you found it helpful!

Seek and you shall find. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you God

[@denisedixon7869]

Thank you this was very helpful. I'm new to coaching working with my practice client. Tying to understand how to apply the concepts I learned. I feel overwhelmed, like I'm fumbling in the dark trying to figure everything out, especially asking the right questions to capture information without giving advice.

[@KristaKathleenCoach]

I totally understand what you’re saying with feeling overwhelmed- most new coaches feel that way in the beginning when learning this new skill set ❤ Have you gone through coach training yet?

[@denisedixon7869]

Yes, I'm preparing to take the test for certification@@KristaKathleenCoach

[@julieheath9419]

This was very helpful! What good questions you ask! I love that you told her that her future self seems very wise. I am wondering how this sweet coach Ros Emely is doing now, one year after this session took place? I hope she is thriving at this point!

[@iammybiggestfan]

Good luck on your journey. Believe in yourself you have the power to perfectionate your journey. Applaud to you

[@KristaKathleenCoach]

Thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing this! As a coach I'm about giving honest feedback. Not sure how someone can go from being 5 out of 10 confidence to an 8 from a short conversation with a coach. Confidence comes from getting real results with clients and it takes time. She probably needed a reality check to understand this.

[@KristaKathleenCoach]

That’s great feedback Anna! I always welcome your thoughts. Curious- what led you to watching this video?

[@CoachPratapSimha]

They can go from 5 to 8 in a single session. It is how they feel about the outcome. I Have been doing this for a while and I realised quickly that when I take them through their own strengths, and courage - their eyes light up, chin opens up and face glows. They are now imagining limitless possibilities. This alone can get them to and 8. We then work with them to set an anchor that can trigger this feeling when they want. This way accessibility is also there. Finally set goals. So yeah results can get you to 8 but owning your strengths and experience can get you there too

[@evette6934]

Are we suppose to just repeat what the other person says but in a different way? But not really give them an answer? Just a bit confused :)

[@KristaKathleenCoach]

Great question Evette! During a coaching session you want to practice active listening t/o the session. Occasionally you’ll use mirroring, summarizing and paraphrasing as a way to show the client that you’re hearing what they said. Does that help?

[@jessickidopolis9040]

Exactly!!! No ill intended feelings for the coach person but I was like I wasted my time watching this video. What the heck

[@susanbarkley3024]

Everyone has cold feet when its new. If you have been trained properly snd have done one on one coaching while in school, I would hope you would be more confident. Dont over think it! Its a process.

[@jessickidopolis9040]

I don't see this kind of coaching is helpful at all. Over emphasize on rhetorical questions Very little guidance
