The Essence of Coaching: Content & Process

The essence of coaching is helping a client move out of a ‘story’ where they may feel angry or victimised. The coach needs to acknowledge the story, yet encourage the client into a space where they become 'curious' - wanting to understand the repeated patterns of thoughts and behaviours which make the ‘story’ all too familiar.

I also learnt a valuable lesson I share in this clip from Irvin Yalom's book 'The Gift of Therapy'. This tip is that the quality of relationship in the moment with a client provides a 'truer' picture of relationship than the 'story' the client brings.
