Which style of Coaching will work?

Coaching can’t be a one style fits all. You often have to try different approaches to see which one will work….this approach will definitely work. Read on…

picA farmer once caught a young eagle. Back home he put it with his chicken and fed it chicken food. Five years later a naturalist visited him. While walking through the garden the latter said, “This bird is an eagle, not a chicken.”

“Yes,” the owner said, “but I made a chicken out of it. Now it is not an eagle any longer.”

“Yet it is an eagle,” the nature lover said, “and I’ll show you.”

The naturalist picked up the eagle, held it high and said emphatically, “Eagle, you are an eagle, you belong in the sky and not on earth, spread your wings and fly!”

However, when the eagle saw the chicken pecking at their food, it hopped down.

The owner said, “I told you it is a chicken.”

“No,” said the naturalist, “it is an eagle and I’ll prove it.”

The next morning he took the eagle to the roof of the house and said, “Eagle, your are an eagle, spread your wings and fly.”

Again the eagle jumped down when it saw the chicken pecking their food and joined them eating.

The owner said, “I told you it is a chicken.”

“No, it is an eagle and it still has the heart of an eagle. Give it one more chance.”

The next morning he took the eagle to a high mountain. There he lifted the eagle and said to it, “Eagle, you are an eagle, you belong in the sky, spread your wings and fly!”

All of a sudden the eagle spread its wings and with a scream rose higher and higher and did not return.
