Your comments on self-esteem and reality and how the coach can help a client see reality more clearly was helpful. It answered some of the questions that came up when we discuss coaching.
Sometimes it feels that people are reacting to the idea that coaching seems like an exercise in improving one's self-esteem, or a glorified "pep talk", especially for those who haven't experienced a session with a good coach.
This article helped point out the problems people at either end of the spectrum (inflated or deflated self-esteem) could be helped through coaching.
Thanks!
