ABOUT THE WEBINAR
As coaches, we always hope that our clients will greet our coaching with a sigh of relief, enthusiasm, or acknowledgement that we’re on the right track together.
However, what happens in the coaching situation when clients become irritated or confused? Or even angry that the session(s) are not going the way they would like them to go? You’re running into the Negativity Bias.
In this session, Maria will share what she’s learned from 38 years of working with coaches about how to turn a difficult situation from a possible breakdown into a powerful breakthrough for your client.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- What the Negativity Bias is and where it comes from
- Some strategies for interacting with clients in the moment when they are experiencing the Negativity Bias to help bring their creative thinking back on line
- A simple tool coaches can use immediately (for themselves and their clients) to go past the Negativity Bias with ease.
