Q: Laurel, how Do I Coach When I Feel Like I Don’t Have Time?

8/22/2025

A: Focus on the “micro-moments.”

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to coach more, but I just don’t have the time,” you’re not alone.

This is one of the most common concerns leaders, team leads, and service professionals face when trying to integrate coaching into their day-to-day responsibilities.


The pressure is real. Emails, deadlines, client demands, and teams pull us in a hundred different directions.

Coaching can too easily feel like one more thing "I should be doing," and when you have an already overloaded plate, this can feel overwhelming.

But here’s the truth:

​Coaching doesn’t have to add more to your plate.
It has the power to transform and simplify
the way you approach the responsibilities you already have.
Coaching is less about time and more about how you use the time you already have.

Instead of repeatedly solving problems for others (which drains energy and creates dependency), coaching develops independent thinkers who can solve challenges themselves.

The payoff? You spend less time in firefighting mode and more time focused on the work that matters most.


So, how do you actually do this?

One way is to learn how to coach. 

​Learning coaching is hands down the best short-term investment (3-4 months) with lifelong gains.

However, that doesn't help you now!

For a quick and simple solution, practice this:
To elevate potential
elevate the
 micro-moments.
You don’t need an hour-long session to empower someone.

As a matter of fact, A Course in Miracles teaches us that we are always only one perspective shift away from a transformation.

Just one powerful and well-positioned question can completely shape a new trajectory in someone's thinking.


In fact, some of the most powerful coaching happens in just two or three minutes. These brief inquiries, done in the flow of life, compound over time.

Instead of defaulting to answers, ask one catalytic question and then.... pause.

For example: 
“Who do you need to become to invite success?” 

- OR - 

“What part of you is confident?”
These short, well-positioned questions build self-trust, encourage ownership, and over time, significantly reduce the oversight others need from you.

By learning to spot and seize micro-moments, you can coach in the margins of your daily life - from parenting to partnering to leading. Coaching goes with you everywhere you go!

It doesn’t take more time, it just takes a different lens. 
I invite you to really practice this.

What I've seen in my 20 years as a coach:

Teams coached in micro-moments become more self-reliant, more engaged, and more resilient. Top contributors become self-propelled, engaged, and purpose-driven. Coaching/counseling clients take their lives to an entirely new level. Leaders free themselves from the constant cycle of solving and directing. Parents and partners connect in more integrated ways. 
Coaching goes where you go! 

​
There you have it! You don’t have to overhaul your schedule to coach others...
The miracle is in the moment.
