How do you coach someone who feels torn between who they are and how others see them? What if the key isn’t choosing one, but looking in the mirror at both?

Clients often face tensions shaped by social expectations, workplace roles, cultural norms, or family dynamics. These external “mirrors” can help us see ourselves, but they can also blur self-perception, creating confusion, self-doubt, or a sense of inauthenticity. Both frequently occur with feedback, such as in a 360 assessment; how do we get more clarity while also extending empathy to engage these perspectives?

In this session, we’ll explore how emotional intelligence can help clients navigate these dynamics with greater clarity and courage. Using the metaphor of the “social mirror,” you’ll learn how to coach clients to reflect, discern, and define who they choose to be, rooted in both self-awareness and relational insight.

Key Takeaways:

 ✅ How social feedback influences identity, and how to coach clients to respond with intention

 ✅ Tools to help clients align their internal and external sense of self, and ways of using a 360 to bolster authentic strengths

 ✅ Coaching strategies to build confidence, authenticity, and emotional clarity in the face of identity tension
