Mastering Active listeningThe coach uses mindful awareness to notice with curiosity and non judgment what is happening with the client. Active listening involves using silence appropriately to “hold the space” and allowing clients time to reflect, process, and identify what emerges. |
Using QuestionsAsking the right questions can help to gather more information. When clients provide more information, it's an opportunity for the coach to practice their active listening. |
Finding your StrengthsAs a coach, what makes you unique are your strengths. There are a variety of tools that can help us tap further into those strengths. This helps us to remain present which increases our active listening skills. |
