(2) choice, (3) co-active strategy, (4) commitment, and (5) action.

Coachees learn what it’s like to be curious and less judgmental about themselves.

As a leadership competency, balance is about the choices leaders make for their personal sense of creating flow, but it is also about the impact of their leadership. The choices leaders make lead to more balance or less for the team and organization, and in the process they become the visible creators and models for how choices are made in that cul

The skill of clarifying is a combination of listening, asking, and reframing.

On one side you see the face of the coachee, and inscribed are the words that describe the coachee’s focus: to take action and learn from that action.

My intuition tells me . . .

If a coachee is not making choices based on his or her values, then the effect will be some form of dissonance.

Third, make sure your coachee wants the information. Ask permission even if you are certain that the coachee will say yes. Asking permission before offering suggestions preserves the integrity of the coaching relationship. And be ready for coachees to say that they’d rather find out on their own.
