Great leaders coach others in ways that challenge them to grow and reach unimaginable goals! But how do they push others in ways that don't push them away?

This is something executive coaches must navigate each and every day. How can their experiences be applied to what you do in your daily work coaching those you lead? 

Forbes asked several experienced executive coaches for their thoughts on this topic. They summarized their favorite fifteen ideas in this article, including the one I provided below. 

"Beyond using questions to uncover insights, it’s important to build confidence and belief in the possibilities of success. Using only traditional coach training techniques can discourage some people. Sharing a real-world example can help a client see that they aren’t alone and that their current experiences are natural. Knowing others have overcome similar challenges helps clients see that it’s possible for them too."

Check out the complete list in the Forbes article.
