    How can you tell you listen well? ~ The Four levels of Listening

    We all agree that listening is one of the most important skills as a coach. So here is an interesting question: how can you tell you listen well? Part of honing and developing your coaching skills is about becoming aware of the subtle parts of the coaching process, and how you know what you do is working for your client at any given moment. Experienced coaches often say ‘well, I feel it’, or ‘it’s intuitive’. But it’s really interesting to start to find out more about that intuition, and where it comes from. Because you will find that there are observable signals and behaviours that you pick up on. And once you become aware of them, you can also start to see where you may miss signals, and where your interpretation can be upgraded. That’s exciting!! Because this is where you can grow their skills considerably, making it less hard work and more co-creation with their clients. In this episode, we focus on the Four Levels of Listening that Otto Scharmer identifies in Theory U, and the relationship with Holding Space like we do in Soul-based Coaching. I’m joined by Judith Peters, Certified Soul-based Coach and long time facilitator of transformation in organisations, for a rich conversation on something that seems so obvious. One of the most exciting parts of this conversation is that it points to conditions for emergence: for things, ideas, changes, to be born that did not exist before. This is the hallmark of Soul-based Change, and what we expect to happen in our sessions: we are leaning into an emergent future. As Judith says: “This is why we are here. This is the job. Opening the door for the future.” Have a listen and let us know your thoughts! Connect with Judith on LinkedIn or check out her website.

  2. The limits of Goals in coaching & the superpower of Desire

    The limits of Goals in coaching & the superpower of Desire

    Traditionally, what does a coach start with? By determining their client’s goals. That’s important, right, because otherwise, what are you there for? And why would a client pay you money to support them? The way we look at that in Soul-based Coaching? It’s a funny one, because yes, and also, no. Of course, you need direction as a coach, a reference point throughout the work together, to help you determine where to direct attention for the client and how to best be of service. We want to know what it is the client wants, and how they will know they have gotten what they want. We want the client to create a very clear picture of what they want to call in. But when you look at it from a new paradigm perspective, goals are pretty limited as the anchor for your coaching session. In this episode, let’s dive into why that is the case, and what else you can do. In the episode, I share: What the limits of goals are in a coaching setting, and what you miss out on when goals are what you anchor your sessions in The relationship between goals and DESIRE Why desire has such a bad reputation, and how that is a testament to its power to create Why so many of us live with a lid on our desire, and how that is holding us back in living the life we came here for How to start helping your clients tap into the creative life power of desire to supercharge their results, without setting desire itself centre stage (because that would probably just distract!) Curious? Have a listen and share your thoughts with me, I love hearing from you!
