Coaching Certification Teaches Conflict Management

What if a coaching client is dealing with conflict?  Conflict provides an opportunity for creating understanding and creative brainstorming of solutions.  The key is how it is managed.  Many people avoid conflict by withdrawing.  Others avoid conflict by pushing their own solution without hearing different possibilities.  What works is to hear and understand the various perspectives, and then engage those involved in developing the solution.  Use the process from your coaching certification.  Conflict coaching is an effective tool with individuals dealing with the conflict and also with multiple people involved in the conflict.

Significant Learning in Life Coach Training and Career Coach Certification


In life coach training and career coach certification it is often a discussion of what a coach is NOT that starts the most important paradigm shift from helping by solving the problem to helping by empowering.  A coach is NOT a mental health professional and a coach is NOT an advisor.  Instead, a coach is a strategic partner.
