Coaching Tip: Foundation Difficulties
Category: Coaching Secrets (CS195)Originally Submitted on 11/26/99.
Introduction
Sooner or later, most coaches work with their clients on
the area of Personal Foundation. And sooner or later,
a client may find this quite uncomfortable. Obviously,
every client deserves a different response on this, a
response that is appropriate to his/her particular
situation. However, a perspective that some have

The Coaching Tip
Some of the Personal Foundation work will, indeed,
take you back to your foundation. This is your chance
to rebuild where the original builders left cracks and
quirks and little flaws. That's why you are doing it.
Sometimes fixing a foundation involves drilling out
pieces so as to make the repair firmer and stronger.
That can feel strange, even threatening. Trust me, it IS
worth it.The foundation that has had the flaws and cracks
removed and strengthened is a more solid foundation
than it was before, and the client will eventually feel the
benefit of doing the work.
