Upbuild Coaching Bits: Know Yourself

“Know Yourself” is one of the meta-skills of Upbuild coaching. It means investing continuously in discovering who you are, cultivating awareness of what you’re bringing into each coaching session, and knowing what you yourself are actively working on at all times.

At Upbuild, we don’t believe that any coach should be coaching others unless they are also receiving coaching. 

Coaching application: What is the most important thing you are working on in your own personal development right now? What is the most important thing you are working on to improve as a coach right now? 

Life application: What are the 2-3 things you are working on in your own development right now? What support do you need in your life to help you move closer to those goals? Commit to getting that support sometime this week.
