Gill Mathias wishing you a happy and stress-free day!
When I coach my clients, I feel as though I am eavesdropping on their thinking process.
The most important part of the job is to LISTEN intently, suspend judgement and stay with the not knowing.
Effective coaching in the workplace holds up a mirror for the client so that they can see their own thinking process.
When I am coaching, I am not listening for the content of what is being said as much as I am listening to the way that they are thinking, including how their attention is focussed, how often they repeat issues and how they define the key elements of the situation.
Trust is an important part of coaching and I never give answers and only ask questions to give the client time to think for themselves.
I wonder what your key elements are and if you write these down in a diary to help you achieve your goals.
Do get in touch without obligation if you would like to discuss some issues.
