Listening to Yourself
When I train coaches, I like them to engage with
the question, “How does the client happen to you?”
In other words, how does the client impact you,
not just as a coach, but as a human being?
Core Competency #5
Ability to focus completely
on what the client is
saying and is not saying,
to understand the
meaning of what is said in
the context of the client’s
desires, and to support
client self-expression.
