The Confidence-Building Coach
When someone asks, “What do you think I should do?”, giving them the answer can feel like the most helpful response. But sometimes they need something different.
The Confidence-Building Coach is one of our eight Mentoring Hats. It’s about creating space for someone to think, asking questions with genuine curiosity and helping them build confidence in their own thinking.
