Powerful Questioning & Listening
Coaching schools will give you a whole box of powerful questions. Good coaches don't just focus on asking powerful questions; they practice powerful questioning by listening at a deeper level. Good coaches are great listeners, and when you listen, you will be able to have empathy.
Care & Others-Centredness
In coaching, it's never about the coach; it's always about the client... a good coach focuses on what matters to the client.
Space & Silence
A good coach uses lots of silence in between conversations. They create spaces within the conversation that allow the client to talk, reflect, and learn.
Curiosity & Openness
A good coach comes from a 'not knowing' perspective. They are usually very curious, and because of that curiosity, they ask questions that give the client more space and time to talk and uncover what they really care about.
