How can OC/Ts effectively handle resistance from coachees?

Handling resistance from coachees effectively involves understanding the emotional and psychological factors at play. Exploring underlying factors and reframing challenges allows OC/Ts to look beyond surface-level issues and engage in meaningful dialogue with coachees. This approach helps to identify the root causes of resistance, which may include fear, lack of understanding, or previous negative experiences.

By reframing the challenges, OC/Ts can present the situation in a new light, encouraging coachees to see potential opportunities for growth rather than insurmountable obstacles. This strategy fosters a collaborative environment where coachees feel heard and supported, ultimately leading to a more positive outcome in achieving their development goals. Emphasizing empathy and open communication helps build trust, which is essential for overcoming resistance effectively.
