Easy Flow
The feeling is a relaxed flow of connection in the partnership. Coach is client-focused, honoring their pace and tone. Your attention is fully connected, dancing with the client. Whether it’s a waltz or a salsa or a tango, coach and client are harmonizing in flow.
Avoid providing unnecessary distractions, such as:
- Opinions, analysis
- Unsolicited suggestions
- Approval judgments (“I think that is a good idea,” versus “How do you feel about that idea?”)
- Habitual non-verbal interruptions to the client’s speaking (yeah, yup, uh huh, OK)
