Stop worrying whether they like your work
No, I’m not advocating being indifferent to the quality of your work. Let me explain what I mean by telling a story about a coaching client.
Lisa (not her real name) was finding it very stressful to give her workshops. To the point where she even doubted that she was cut out for that kind of work.
She worried about the quality of her teaching, whether she presented herself and her information well enough, etc.
Yet everything pointed to the fact that she was quite good at it. Not only that, teaching those workshops was completely aligned with her life purpose. And they made her good money.
I’m happy to report that in Lisa’s case, it wasn’t necessary to learn and practice stress reducing techniques. One quick conversation was all it took to turn her around.
The key for Lisa was to shift her thoughts away from herself (her performance), and towards her students (how could she serve them best in that moment).
You might think that those two points of view are the same, but they’re not. Yes in both of them Lisa is gauging her students’ reaction to what she’s presenting. But in the first one, the ego has a chance to get a lot more involved (how am I doing; do you like me; am I good enough, etc.).
By putting her attention on the students for their own sakes, she was able to free herself from the stress she was feeling, and reported back that she was having a ball.
I would also bet that her workshop was a great success!
The moral of the story: put your focus on how best to serve your clients rather than how you’re coming across and not only will your stress level go down, your clients will rave about you more than ever.
