Although honesty seems to be accepted, almost universally, as a top of the list virtue, it’s critical for achieving success in a coaching relationship.
Gainful insight and clarity are needed, and they both require absolute honesty.
Coaching, as is true in counseling, will only work when clients are willing to be honest about the situation at hand.
My clients, in addition to being honest with me, must also be honest with themselves.
The #1 enemy of honesty in our relationships is denial. If a client is in denial about any aspect of the issue that we are working on, progress will come to a halt.
If you’re in agreement with me about the value of honesty, and you feel ready to move forward, then you are ready for coaching and some positive results!
