Building on being present with your client, there is a special focus that is needed to understand your clients. What are the clients saying and not saying? Listening Actively requires awareness of the client’s context, culture and values. As coaches are listening, they are also paying attention to shifts in energy and emotions. To check out what you are hearing, reflect and offer summaries, including energy shifts that you notice. This allows your client to hear themselves and to clarify what they are thinking.
To experience how people hear things differently and attune themselves to others, join me and Monica Leggett for Group Mentor Coaching. Hearing what others pick up on may be one of the most enlightening aspects of being in Group Mentor Coaching. Monica and I will be listening actively as we facilitate a small mentor group. We’ll meet over 5 consecutive weeks on October 2 – October 30 on Wednesdays, 8:30 – 10 am Eastern. You’ll have an opportunity to coach others and get live feedback as well as learn from others in the group. To learn more about the program, message me directly.
Develop your mastery. Become a more transformative coach!
