It isn't easy for highly driven, high performing professionals to easily share the challenges and frustrations they experience. Admitting to a third party their struggles with clarity and direction in relation to their ability to usually figure it out makes it sometimes difficult to share. How does a coach create and facilitate a safe environment for high performers to share their deepest thoughts and concerns? Today we learn from a professional coach who specializes in clients to get clarity, build confidence, and take action that aligns to their values and sense of purpose. Discover how listening and paying attention to what is being said, what is not being said, word choices, and non-verbal cues are critical to discovering the real issues in relation to a personal struggle. Learn how to ask well-timed, probing, direct follow-up questions that put people at ease, but uncover the deeper seeded issue most aren't aware of until it is voiced. Understand how probing and listening can lead to identify action and solutions without the interviewer being responsible for fixing it.
