049 Coaching Perfectionism

In this week's episode we are talking about coaching perfectionism. The word perfectionist is a label we give to ourselves and it can see our coachees putting pressure on themselves to deliver a perfect result. Sometimes a coachee might know that it is perfectionism that needs to be explored and others might have no awareness. So let's start to highlight this issue that can show up in our coaching sessions.  We discuss: how perfectionism can show up in someone  how as a coach you can spot signs of perfectionism in your coachee what might a coachee say to indicate they are a perfectionist? are there elements of strength within perfectionism where the need to be perfect derives from what is the purpose of the perfect driver and how can your client find other ways to meet that need? the impact it can have on work and personal relationships    We may not be able to provide you with a series of tools to work with a coachee who is a perfectionist but we are able to raise your awareness of how it might show up in your coachee. In reality being present with your coachee and enabling them to discover their own solutions is the most effective way to support your coachee with perfectionism.    Link to purchase our bestselling book ”Deciding to Coach”: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09XG1SJWC Resources Take our FREE Quiz 'Which Coaching Course is Right for Me?' https://www.mycoachingcourse.com/ Join The Coaching Crowd Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheCoachingCrowd/ In Good Company (UK) https://www.igcompany.co.uk/ Check out our YouTube Channel https://bit.ly/378rY9a Check out our Instagram https://www.Instagram.com/the_coaching_crowd Work with Jo Wheatley as your Emotions Coach https://www.jowheatley.com Connect with Jo Wheatley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jo_wheatley_coaching/ Connect with Jo Wheatley on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/joannewheatley Work with Zoe Hawkins as your Courageous Leadership Coach https://www.zoe-hawkins.com Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Facebook https://facebook.com/zoehawkinscoach/ Connect with Zoe Hawkins on LinkedIn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/zoehawkinscoach Connect with Zoe Hawkins on Instagram https://instagram.com/zoehawkinscoach
