The greatest gift that I can, as a Coach, give to a client is the Gift of Non-Attachment.
I give that gift by not needing my client for anything.
When a Coach needs their client for any reason at all, they form an attachment to their client.
Any attachment to a client disallows the Coach allowing the client to follow their own path.
The Coach’s ability to get out of the way requires their non-attachment to the client.
I cannot give the gift of non-attachment unless I have myself gained the attribute of detachment.
When a new client comes to coaching, it is often because they need a coach.
When a client needs a coach they form an attachment to the coach.
They will remain attached to the coach until they are able to receive the gift of non-attachment.
It is the responsibility of a coach to sensitively detach the client from their need to be coached.
By sensitively modelling the attribute of detachment, I offer the gift of non-attachment to my client.
