The following is an excerpt of one of David’s coaching sessions in Top Coaching Techniques.

David: Yeah. So, the truth – and we couldn’t have had this conversation a month ago without this example – the truth is an amazing thing. It will set you free, right? It could set you free from this job.

Client: But then, where does that put me? I still feel like I need to pay off a couple of more bills and make sure there’s money coming in. I know I have financial support now, but then that just brings me to my other issue, which is relying on someone else, which I’ve never done before in my life.

David: Yeah. So, I think you’ve got some things going on. I want to finish off on this truth thing, because we don’t know that that’s going to mean that your job’s gone. We’re just saying that you’re putting it at risk.

Client: Yeah.

David: It doesn’t mean that it’s over. You can go in and talk to her in integrity. Tell her whatever it is you’ll be doing for the company and winding up your stuff and totally working out the rest of your term. She might be grateful that you’re honest.
