As coaches we can listen and learn from the macro-scale communications of our coachees – but we also have to drill down to help them find root-causes. With electron-microscopy one can drill down to fine detail, sub-cell. As coaches we use the coachee’s language to help us to help themselves. What they learn from drilling down helps them make macro-level decisions. This too is one of the beauties of exquisite coaching. Angus.

Reflective Language is very standard and used gracefully by all the best coaches I know. Coachees do not notice Reflective Language, but observers do notice! Continue reading Reflective Language
