How are you empowering others?
One of the greatest things you can do for someone is to empower them. You can do this by allowing them to grow through their challenge/s. Many of us want to help someone; sometimes if we help them it disempowers the person. In coaching, we replace the word help with support. Help can mean you’re not capable so let me do it for you, whereas support can mean you are capable so let me come alongside of you through your difficulty. Offering support by allowing a person to feel their circumstance is a gift you are giving that person, support can look like: Offering suggestions (when asked), pray for them, educate them, etc.
There is a great quote that has been said, “Give someone a fish and feed them for the day, teach them to fish and feed them for a lifetimeâ€; this is how to empower someone.
