Embodied Coaching – Listening to the whole self (LIVE Coaching Demo) Image

Let’s begin by acknowledging that vulnerability is the core of all emotions and feelings. So, here is something for you to ponder over - “to feel is to be vulnerable”. Marie Quigley who has been the guest for this LIVE Coaching demo session comes with international accreditations and specialization in the coaching practice.

As an EMCC ESIA accredited coach supervisor she facilitates the deep, exploratory work of coaching supervision, recognizes the importance of normative formative and restorative spaces, supporting coaches at all levels to uncover blind spots and evoke expansion of “who they are being” through thought-provoking, reflective and highly creative conversations.

Some guidelines for a Coach from Marie Quigley before you begin your conversation with your client:-

Step in with curiosity

Here are a few takeaways that you want to sum up after the demo session are:

Open to questions from participants

  1. How do you deal with when you feel that the conversation is not going in the direction that you wished
    Always trust the client. Hold the goal at the back of your head to ensure that you help achieve your client’s goal.
  2. Should the coaching session be time-bound? How do you evolve the conversation across the time limitations?
    I would also have the time limitations at the back of my mind. I would leave the coaching conversation at a reasonable point when it feels that the client is satisfied enough. I try not to go beyond an hour because the client is also going through deep transformational work. It gets tiring!
  3. Clients want fast results but are not willing to move through the conversation and change at the same rate. How to deal with such conversations?
    Coaches should be adjusting to support the client’s requirements. Use contracting as an engagement to ensure your clients work towards quick and fast results. Negotiate the terms that go with the duration.
  4. How do you deal with conflicting values with your client? How do you handle when the client is not willing to take action?
    Do the values exercise which will help you hear out the conflicting values. Be as transparent as possible during the coaching conversation. Naming things helps the client become aware. Create a system around it.

So, here is where you need to identify if their goal is truly their goal or their family’s goal or the society’s goal. ‘Is the goal truly aligned with what they want?’ Help them identify and articulate.
