Hello Everyone! Thought about sharing an amaaazing coaching exercise I learned during a coaching training 💜 It's called "Doors closed, doors open" and it's perfect to apply/add to your coaching toolkit and for yourself as well :) It teaches us to reflect on our past experiences while opening space to new and more positive perspectives on negative things that have happened in our lives/our clients' lives... Here the step-by-step on how to apply this technique + some self-reflection questions you can use with your clients/yourself! Hope you find it useful ✨ Doors Closed Doors Open Think about a time in your life when someone rejected you or you missed out on something important or when a big plan collapsed. These would be points in your life where a door closed. Now think about what happened after that: What doors opened after? What would have never happened if the first door didn’t close? Write down these experiences in the spaces below (write as many experiences as possible that come to mind). The door that closed on me was: ...... The new door that opened for me was: ...... Now, reflect upon your experiences and respond to the following questions: ▪ What led to the door closing? What helped you open the new door? ▪ How long did it take you to realize that a new door was open? ▪ Was it easy or hard for you to realize that a new door was open? ▪ What prevented you from seeing the new open door? ▪ What can you do next time to recognize the new opportunity sooner? ▪ What were the effects of the door closing on you? Did it last long? ▪ Did the experience bring anything positive? ▪ Which character strengths did you use in this exercise? ▪ What does a closed door represent to you now? ▪ What did you learn from the door closing? ▪ Is there more room for growth from these types of experiences? ▪ Is there a closed door that you still wish to see open? Now think of all the people who have helped you open doors in the past: What did they do to help you? And what could you do to help others?
