Our clients come to us with the hope of sharing their experiences in a safe space. There is an expectation on coaches to listen and not judge or or make assumptions during coaching conversations. In this episode, we're discussing what makes coaching conversations unique and different from other, everyday conversations. We'll talk about the do's and don'ts to help you foster powerful relationships in the coaching space. 

What you will learn in this episode: 

• How to respond with empathy rather than colluding  
• What makes a coaching conversation different from an everyday conversation 
• The difference between cause and effect when blaming something or someone 
• How coaches can work with clients without having industry experience 

When you're in a coaching session with your clients, listening is key and the quality of listening we bring to coaching conversations is unlike any other. As coaches we bring both support and challenge to help clients to achieve their outcomes and listening is at the centre of great coaching.
