This month's tip is from IAC Coaching Mastery™ #9 Helping The Client to Create and Use Support Systems and Structures.

Your client, of course, doesn't grow and evolve in a vacuum. Clients are influenced (conditioned) by people, events, ideas, etc., their entire lives. By far, the greatest influences are the communities of people who touch them throughout their days.

"You become who you hang out with." - Thomas J. Leonard

Who are these communities? Family, friends, colleagues, co-workers, professional advisors, authors, trainers, people in the media, bloggers, as well as members of their clubs, churches, online networking sites and many, many more. You are who you hang out with.

For a relatively short time, you the coach, become just one influential member of your client's community for say, about one hour of their week. No matter how well you coach them, the other members of their community will have a stronger influence during the other 167 hours. Those people may be influencing your client to stay the same; rather than grow, take risks, and change.

So how can your coaching possibly be effective? In other words, how do you co-create sustainable change for your client? One way is by helping them create communities of people who influence them to become who they want to be, fulfill their true potential and achieve what they really want - even when you're not coaching them.

To find out how to do this masterfully, take the SCM Mastery #9 Module this May. Find out more here
