Does it ever feel like your life is all over the place? Stability isn’t about managing every detail—it’s about creating a foundation of trust and open communication.

Fred’s journey is a perfect example of how a small shift can bring lasting stability to your life.

Fred is the Director of Operations at his workplace. He came to me for coaching wanting to be able to motivate his team and to work on his communication.

I asked Fred why he wants this… “Do you feel that your team is not motivated?”

Fred’s answer, “No, they’re not. They’re not motivated!”

“Why do you think that?”

Fred went on to tell me more… ‘Every time I asked how they are doing that week, their response is always the same. They answer “good” or “okay”. They never say much. And I want to grow the team, but I can’t… I haven’t been able to let them take on some of the tasks I’m doing… I want to be able to rely on some of the current team members to teach the junior members.”

He also further explained that there had been some restructuring in the company and there is a lot of uncertainty amongst the staff.

My next question was, “Fred, have you ever asked your team members where they see themselves in the future with this company?”

Fred’s response, “No.”

“No? Why haven’t you asked that question”

“I never thought to ask them that. Plus, I don’t think they want to tell me much of anything. I can see that would be a great question.”

As we coached, we discovered an emotional holdback that was the real reason why Fred didn’t want to ask his team questions. He was afraid that he might be imposing on others if he asked too many questions.

This may have been Fred’s A-ha moment.

The truth is, this has been happening at home as well… Fred didn’t always check in with his wife to see what she was interested in doing, nor have they sat down together to have a conversation to compare dreams of their future. All along, they have been coasting through life together.

Can you relate?

Fred at this point recognises that he didn’t have the skill or the habit to check in with those close to him – his wife or his team – where they are currently at and check to see what they might need in terms of his support. Previously, Fred ended up feeling like he was stuck and felt that he couldn’t motivate his team, when, in fact, he didn’t have the communication skill.

With this realization, Fred made a change. He reported during his next Coaching session that he got some great responses from asking his team members, individually in their meeting, the question of where they see themselves 2 and 5 years from now. All his team members really explored their future with the company and felt excited and even motivated about their work.

As we continued coaching, Fred had chosen that week to go to work on scheduling a conversation with his wife to talk about what she wants to see in their marriage together.

To his surprise, both he and his wife had a lot of fun talking about their future together.

They looked at buying their next property -- its location, the size of the property, number of bedrooms, layout of the house!

Their next home is now in the plans and Fred’s relationship with his wife has become more connected.

Is there something that you don’t want to ask or communicate and it has become a habit in your life?

What our client says:

“I never really thought about having a life coach until I met Audra. I am a fast talker & I like the way she talked, with clarity & the right amount of speed. I have no regrets having Audra as my life coach. I feel more confident when I talk. I feel that my speech has improved in speed and clarity & I enjoy talking to her about various aspects of life in general.” ~ Christine Lim
