Success Principles of Coaching In coaching, as in all things in life, there are concepts – principles – that when adopted enable us to experience better results than if we’re without them. At the Foundations of Coaching Success Training, you get a chance to go through these principles thoroughly – they are important foundation principles upon which other concepts can be built.

Success principle no. 3 What we focus on is what we get WHAT WE FOCUS ON IS WHAT WE WILL FIND EVIDENCE OF, TO THE EXCLUSION OF EVERYTHING ELSE.

This principle goes to the heart of the results that we experience in our lives. We can only experience what we search for, because everything else is outside of our experience. Carl Jung believed that we can’t see anything outside of us that isn’t us. This means we don’t see things as they are, but as we are. So the external world that we see is through the filtering lens of our personality – of who we are. Two people can look upon the same world and see it differently, based on who they are, what they sort for, and what they expect to find. Someone who experiences poverty is experiencing what is within them now. People who experience abundance are experiencing what is within them now. If you coach someone who says they are bad at relationships I would want to know what their relationship is like with themselves. If you look at the diagram of the torch and its beam, notice it captures within its light what it is focused on. Everything outside of the beam is excluded. It can’t pick up what it isn’t focused on. Our lives and how we experience our world is the same thing. We will simply not be aware of things beyond our focus.

The next level of this is around fear and appreciation. If we focus on something and it causes us to feel fear, what we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experience is appreciation. The two emotions are accessed in different parts of our brain. To focus on our fear is to exclude what we are capable of. The solution is to focus on feeling appreciation. If we tap into what it is about the situation we can appreciate, then fear fades. Coaching this is simply about asking your client questions about where they are choosing to focus, and if that focus is working for them and getting them the results they are seeking. Everything in coaching is about what works for us.
