Giving Quality Support:
Are You Making It About You or Them?
Part 1

Giving support. What does that look like for you? If you are a private practice professional such as a coach or therapist, you may already be clear on the boundaries and standards you operate from. In my experience, most people have their own definitions of what support should look and feel like.

For me, support is coming from a place of experience and not opinion. Support can be words of wisdom, guidance and encouragement or sharing a painful lesson and the outcome. It is also knowing when to challenge and when to redirect, as well as mastering listening skills. I also practice giving support by often letting others just vent or by being with them wherever and however they are.

The trick to quality support is two-fold. First, is being clear on what type of support is needed, which means not holding back on asking for clarity. Second, is to be clear on what type of support you are delivering while not taking things personally.

Sometimes I find it almost impossible to not want to react or take it personally, even as a trained professional. The key point here is want. What I am clear on is when I offer support to a friend, spouse, family member, client or stranger, I keep the focus on them and not make it about me. If I operate under this principle, I offer and receive rich rewards such as:

• Deeper intimacy,
• Serenity,
• Clear motives,
• Less inner conflicts,
• Lower stress levels,
• Full self-expression,
• Conflict resolution,
• Productivity and creativity,
• Positive feedback not criticism.

The below mentioned are some personal guidelines in my coaching practice that I™ve co-created for a quick personal inventory to assess whether or not the support and guidance I am offering is predatory (too personally involved) or about me. The question I ask myself is this:

What is my gut reaction to the choice of action or inaction taken by a client or sponsoree?

• If I feel empathy, it is about the client; if it is sympathy, it is about me.
• If it is compassion, it is about the client; if it is anger, it is about me.
• If it is sadness, it is about the client; if it is disappointment, it is about me.
• If I feel there is an urgent need for the client to complete an action I suggest, it is about me.
• If I am repeating myself over and over about a singular issue, it is about me.
• If a client is repeating the same thing over and over to me, it is about both of us. That means the client is feeling unheard, and I am not paying attention and moving forward at the client™s pace.
