Balance Between Structure and Flow In a Coaching Conversation

As a new coach - or an even more seasoned coach - are you focusing on adhering closely to the structure of the coaching conversation? And by doing this, do you find you lose spontaneity or opportunities required for a powerful coaching conversation?Â
Or do you notice you are going 'off course' and perhaps not serving the client as powerfully as you could?
When we as coaches, or leaders who coach, focus on following the models we've been taught, we often lose out on being in the moment with our cli...

Allowing Space for Deep Listening
Mar 28, 2019
Have you ever thought as a coach about the truly deep power of silence and effective listening?
Listening deeply can be one of the most powerful skills we can demonstrate as a coach and a fellow human being. It can open the doors to self-reflection and discovery for the client or person we are with, enabling them to capture their thoughts, which the client or person we are in communication with may otherwise not have experienced.
Usually silences during a conversation are considered to be odd. How...

Setting Goals for Success
Mar 19, 2019
Do you set goals for yourself and then find it hard to achieve them?
Are the goals you set attainable?Â
Or perhaps you have stopped setting goals effectively?

Follow the Breadcrumbs of Your Life
Dec 18, 2018
Have you ever met someone who has always known what they wanted to do in life? The type of person that declared boldly at an early age, “I want to be a doctor.” Or “I want to be a firefighter.” Or maybe, “I want to become a singer!” And then you find them twenty, thirty or forty years down the road, as pediatricians in a private practice, or as a firefighter saving lives, or you see them performing, singing passionately on the stage.
