Listening is essential in effective coaching
A coach is fully engaged in exploring your thoughts and goals. Through dedicated and intensive listening, the coach manages to pick up undertones, observe facial expressions and mood, and register both the words you say and those you don’t say.
This type of listening, known as active listening, creates a deep connection and contributes to your feeling of being seen, heard and understood – a crucial factor in building trust.
