Coaching Beyond a Reasonable Doubt

Verdict or Transformation?

I waited all day to check the status of whether or not I would have to serve as a juror.

When it was time, I checked online and saw that my presence was required the next day at the courthouse. Not believing what I was reading, I dialed the number on the jury summons and heard the call to the courthouse.

The unbelief turned to reality as it sank in that I would be heading to the courthouse the next day in the hopes that I would not be picked to serve on a jury.

Walking into the courtroom with the sixty plus who heard the same call, I settled in to observe the process. Hardship cases were heard first and I didn’t qualify and those with hardships were dismissed.

As the courtroom cleared, names were read and those called were asked to take a seat in the jury box. Seat number 11 came up and my name was called. Still in disbelief that I was sitting in the jury box, I was hoping to be excused. Once we were all seated the prosecution and defense took aim at each of us with deliberate questions that would help them make the right selection for their case.

I got the sympathy question from the prosecution asking if I could set aside  feeling sorry for the defendant to render a fair verdict beyond a reasonable doubt. My answer was that I would base my decision on the evidence and facts even though I might feel sorry for the defendant. I believe that answer also piqued the defense (as he thought I might succumb to a sympathy vote) and I was picked.

The next day I couldn’t wait to hear the witness testimonies to see if the evidence would be enough to convince me to render a verdict beyond a reasonable doubt. The powerful questions asked by the attorney’s, the active listening as jurors, and the convincing evidence helped us reach a verdict of guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Asking powerful questions and listening actively helps draw out the evidence needed for a verdict in the courtroom just as it does for growth and transformation with a coaching client.

In the courtroom the results are a verdict. 
In the coaching relationship, the result is transformation.

As a transformation coach, we are trained in the skill of asking powerful questions and listening actively. Our goal is to help our clients get the results they desire and to discover for themselves beyond a reasonable doubt.

Results that transform from a coaching relationship can be:
accelerated leadership, specific growth personally, professionally or spiritually. It can be an increased awareness of emotional health or it can be learning how to navigate organizational health with teams and their dynamics.

Coaching allows a client to get the results they need to help them make movement forward. Coaching helps a client discover for themselves from their own bucket of knowledge what their next steps or actions plans are. The client is the expert!

Because the client is the expert, the coach guides the client to discover the evidence within themselves moving them towards transformation beyond a reasonable doubt.

Coaching is a powerful tool to encourage transformative change beyond a reasonable doubt!

Unlike my aversion to be on a jury, I love helping non-profit executive directors and people get the results they desire through coaching.

If the evidence presented here has convicted you beyond a reasonable doubt to let coaching transform you, I would love the opportunity to guide you to the results you are looking for! Remember YOU are the expert!
