What’s up Healthpreneurs, and welcome to another solo round of the Healthpreneur Podcast! If you’re looking to up your communication game in your business or personal life, this one’s for you! The tip I’m going to give today is especially valuable if you’re a coach of any kind.
The trick is to ask more and talk less. What? Talk less? You know us coaches...we love to talk! But sometimes over-talking – and over-giving advice (that’s a thing?) – can be detrimental to our clients and our relationship with them.
In this episode, I’ll be revealing why that is, and what we should be doing to avoid overdependence, empower others to think for themselves, and help them figure out their own solutions. I’ll discuss how we can be better communicators by asking better questions and getting better answers. Tune in!
