I've sat through thousands of conversations helping people see themselves more clearly \u2013 as a recruiter, as a manager<\/a>, som bollplank. Utan att n\u00e5gonsin kalla det f\u00f6r coaching. I m\u00e5ndags gjorde jag det officiellt: jag startade min ICC coach certification<\/a>, via Unest\u00e5l Education och Lambent-metodiken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The start of the course<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elaine and Lars-Erik Unest\u00e5l led the first day. Two trainers who have spent an entire career on mental training and performance, long before coaching became a buzzword in business. I joined digitally, course binder in my lap, and quickly realized this wouldn't be a course I could get through on experience and social skills alone. It requires a craft I actually have to practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference between advice and coaching<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Den st\u00f6rsta insikten kom snabbt: som konsult<\/a> \u00e4r jag van vid att komma med svar \u2013 analysera, rekommendera, leverera en l\u00f6sning. Coaching \u00e4r motsatsen. Jag ska hj\u00e4lpa klienten att hitta sitt eget svar, \u00e4ven n\u00e4r jag sj\u00e4lv tror att jag vet b\u00e4ttre. Det \u00e4r en muskel jag knappt har anv\u00e4nt f\u00f6rut, och den gjorde ont redan dag 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practicing what I ask of others<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the day's exercises forced me to be honest with myself, in a way I've asked hundreds of clients to be over the years without really understanding how uncomfortable it actually is. It's easy to ask others to be honest with themselves. Harder to do it yourself, without rounding off toward whatever feels comfortable. Book tip from the day: Marie Str\u00f6mer. Already downloaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The compass rose<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a compass rose tattooed on my arm. It reminds me that I was once lost myself and found my way back \u2013 no one gave me the answer; I had to point it out myself. That's exactly the feeling I want to be able to give to others now, with a structured craft behind it instead of just experience and gut feeling. I'll be sharing more from the course as I go \u2013 what I'm learning about myself, what challenges me, and what I bring into my work with leaders and organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have thoughts, questions, or just want to talk something through \u2013 feel free to reach out. I'm always happy to have an initial conversation with no agenda.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
