We all know it’s important to develop relationships with
others in order to express ourselves openly.
In fact, trust is a fundamental way in which we work with, communicate
with, hear, and learn from each other.
Rapport, and in turn a trusting relationship, is also the key to a
positive relationship with trainers and coaches.
The opposite is true as well. A lack of trust, including low morale, low
productivity, and failure to give 100% can lead to the end of a productive
relationship with your trainer or coach.
Without a positive and trusting relationship, it will be far more
difficult for us to reach our goals.
Here are some questions that you should be asking yourself
to determine if you have a trusting relationship with your trainer.
1.
Does your trainer focus on you rather than
herself?
2.
Does your trainer work with you collaboratively
to reach your goals rather than tell you what your goals should be?
3.
Do you feel validated or understood by your
trainer?
Our goal at ILKB is that you answer
yes to all of these questions. After
all, it’s our goal to help you reach yours.
