Let me start by paraphrasing that when one client’s success clashes with another’s well-being, it’s about finding balance. We should listen to both sides, look for solutions that work for everyone & always prioritize fairness that's imp . Success shouldn’t come at the cost of someone’s peace so lets just do the right thing even when no one is looking .

This kind of situation needs careful handling to make sure both clients’ needs are respected. Open communication and finding a fair middle ground are key. I once coached two team members, one wanted to push hard for results, while the other was overwhelmed and burning out. I brought them together for an honest discussion, helping them see each other’s perspectives. Together, we adjusted their goals so one could keep progressing without adding extra stress to the other. In the end, both felt heard, and we found a solution that worked for everyone. Coaching is about finding a balance that supports both success and well-being.

Não considero que processos de life coaching devam ser feitos em grupo. Esse processo precisa ser individualizado porque cada coachee tem objetivo específico a ser alcançado e vai encontrar, por meio do coaching, caminhos diferentes a trilhar, superando suas dificuldades e descobrindo fortalezas. No life coaching é fundamental que o coachee se sinta absolutamente seguro, para que consiga mergulhar de forma intensa em seu interior e não se sinta analisado ou julgado por sua forma de ser, de sentir e de agir.

Navigating this coaching dilemma requires balancing the needs of both clients with empathy and transparency. Clearly define the nature of the conflict. Is it a matter of one client's success requiring the sacrifice of another’s well-being? Understanding the root of the issue will help you find potential resolutions. You may need to temporarily adjust priorities or timelines. For example, if one client’s success requires immediate attention at the expense of another’s well-being, it might be necessary to pause or reframe expectations to prevent burnout. Sometimes, success can be redefined, and well-being can be integrated into the pursuit of those goals, without it being an either-or situation.

All human behavior is run by 'unmet needs'. Identifying the unmet need of the client who's well-being is being affected would feel like the first step, to me. The next step would be to strategize other ways the client can get the need met. The issue in so many cases is that people are trying to get heir needs met without actually knowing what need it is they're wanting to meet. They simply feel a need, and go about trying to meet it unconscious of the exact need. I hope this was helpful. Check out www.NVC.org

Cuando esto ocurre, hay que poner en valor a cada cliente, explicando que lo que uno hace no le corresponde al otro y viceversa. Enseñar a cada cual que es a traves de lo que hacemos de forma individual como crecemos y nos desarrollamos, sin competir. Ademas, debemos ser completamente confidenciales a la hora de tratar a unos y otros, para que entre ellos no se produzcan este tipo de desencuentros.

When clients' interests clash, coaches should: 1. Maintain strict confidentiality and clear boundaries for each client 2. Focus on individual growth metrics rather than comparative success 3. Document potential conflicts upfront and address them transparently 4. Use supervision to maintain objectivity and professional standards 5. Help clients reframe competition as growth opportunities 6. Be prepared to refer clients if conflicts become unmanageable The key is balancing ethical obligations while supporting each client's unique journey.
