The episode concludes with a reflection on the coach's motivations and the different perspectives on coaching.
Takeaways
Holding space is an essential aspect of coaching, allowing clients to do their best thinking and tune into themselves.
Doing less can often be more effective in coaching, as it allows clients to tap into their own resources and find their own answers.
Intervention and action can be valuable in coaching, but it is important to consider the client's needs and preferences.
Including the client in the decision-making process and checking in with them regularly can help ensure that the coaching is aligned with their goals and expectations.
