A coach answers."},"content":{"rendered":"

Have you ever had that feeling where you knew exactly what you should do, but you just couldn't bring yourself to do it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You read the books, listened to the podcasts, and asked your friends for their opinions, yet weeks or even months later, you were still in the same place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often, in moments like these, it\u2019s not new information we need. Rather, it\u2019s someone who can help us see what\u2019s going on inside us from a different perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are still many misconceptions about coaching. Many people think it\u2019s only for managers, or that it\u2019s worth turning to a coach only when we\u2019re already struggling with serious problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spoke with Dr. Eszter Fodor-Marosujv\u00e1ri, a life and business coach and consultant in ultra-brief therapy, about when it\u2019s a good idea to seek help, and how to recognize that there might be more behind a setback than just a bad week or a temporary loss of motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don't have to wait until there's a big problem<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Coaching isn\u2019t primarily intended for crisis situations, nor is it about someone telling you what to do. Rather, it\u2019s a confidential conversation where, in a safe environment, you can reflect on your own situation, recognize your patterns of behavior, and gain a clearer view of your options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, it is often not a lack of information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know exactly what we should do. But for some reason, we just don't do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201eOur emotions guide us. It\u2019s not always enough to know what we should do.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In what kinds of situations can a coach help?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

There is no single list that can definitively determine whether you need coaching. Every person is different, and every life situation is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, there are recurring patterns that often emerge among those who eventually turn to a coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You keep running the same laps over and over again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever changed jobs, gotten a new boss, or found yourself in a completely different life situation, only to run into the same problems?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At times like this, it\u2019s worth asking yourself: Is it really that the environment is repeating itself, or is there a pattern in your behavior that leads you to the same place over and over again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a coaching process, recognizing these patterns is often the first important step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know what you should do, but you don't do it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is perhaps one of the most common situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know exactly what the next step should be, yet you keep putting it off. There\u2019s always something more important to do, and at the end of the day, you\u2019re right back where you were in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to assume laziness or a lack of discipline in such situations, but often there\u2019s something entirely different at play. It could be an old habit, a past failure, or an inner fear\u2014one that\u2019s much easier to recognize from an outsider\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You've been putting off an important decision for months<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Change jobs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will you accept the new management position?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should you finally talk to a coworker, or just keep putting up with it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been repeating the same arguments to yourself for months, perhaps what you need isn\u2019t more advice, but someone to help you sort through your thoughts\u2014someone who can ask a fresh question that breaks you out of your usual way of thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You're in a situation that's draining all your energy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It's not just problems at work that can cause setbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A divorce, an illness, caring for a family member, financial difficulties, or a new life situation following the birth of a child can easily upset that balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In situations like this, many people feel that they have become worse employees. Yet often, they are simply carrying too much of a burden all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Eszter, during these times it can be especially important to have someone with whom you can talk about everything that\u2019s happening without being judged. This is beneficial not only for the individual but also for the company, as it helps bring the employee back toward a state of balance. They can find relief, discover possible solutions, and receive support without burdening their manager or coworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There's a question that doesn't have a simple answer<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

During our conversation, we wondered if there might be a questionnaire that could determine whether you need coaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eszter's answer was surprisingly clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eI don't really believe in these surveys.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
