Upbuild Coaching Bits: Experiment and Learn
“Experiment and Learn” is one of the meta-skills of Upbuild coaching. It means holding an experimental mindset and taking risks for the sake of others.
In coaching, this might mean experimenting with different modalities, tapping into the wisdom of the body, doing guided visualizations, asking questions that have never been asked before, and challenging in a way that might feel uncomfortable.
To honor this mindset, we need to embrace curiosity over certainty and release our ego’s desire to have everything neatly tied in a bow. By doing so, we create a space where growth, discovery, and transformation can flourish. This mindset not only enriches the coaching experience but also deepens our capacity to serve others authentically.
Coaching application: Write down the answers to these questions: Where are you playing it safe as a coach? What’s possible for your clients if you start taking more risk?
Life application: In what situation in your life are you playing it safe? What would it look like to apply the “Experiment and Learn” mindset to this situation?
