On today’s episode of Crank It Up, David has an insightful conversation with his own coach, Kim Ades. Kim gives us a glimpse inside a coach-client relationship and helps us understand just how transformative it can be. Kim is the founder of Frame of Mind Coaching and, along with a team of carefully selected coaches, she works with clients 1 on 1 and through group coaching sessions. The goal of Frame of Mind Coaching is to engage in a relationship with clients with full transparency in order to support them in becoming the best version of themselves. Throughout this conversation, Kim shares her approach to coaching and how discovered coaching as her calling in life.
You are the most important #investment in your life, on this episode Tweet ThisThe traditional coaching model is all about accountability. For Kim, this type of relationship creates a level of co-dependency she believes is a disservice to the client. The Frame of Mind Coaching approach is all about empowering the client to flourish on their own. Kim believes in full transparency and honesty in the coach-client relationship, which yields empowerment, confidence, and the ability to tackle life’s challenges. Her goal with the coaches on the Frame of Mind team is to have clients who are absolutely thrilled with the experience.
Kim discusses her belief that a great coach focuses on their own personal development above all else. For her, it’s all about being transparent with the client – showing that coaches aren’t perfect; they, in fact, are always growing and working on themselves. Kim shares why it’s important to realize, as a coach, that the last thing they need to be is right. Their primary goal is to guide the client to a place of truth in every conversation. It’s not about the coach; it’s about the client from start to finish.
Understanding how #coaching works, on this episode Tweet ThisThe coach-client relationship is about honesty. It’s an intimate relationship. Building that level of trust can take time, but for Kim it’s important to expedite the process in order to get to the meat of the matter – helping the client live their best life. She discusses the value of allowing the client to understand that you, as their coach, are behind them 100%. That this, in fact, allows the client to lower their defenses so the coach can be most effective. That level of honesty is a necessity in having a successful coaching session.
As they close out their chat, David and Kim discuss the structure of the coaching sessions she offers and the role of journaling in the experience. The idea is to encourage the clients to share their true selves, true intentions, and true goals with the coach in order to find areas to improve and grow. Kim discusses the free assessment she is offering and how simple it is to get an idea of the direction your life is heading and how you can make some improvements. David shares why you are the most important investment in your life and urges everyone listening to take the free assessment.
