In this final part of our 4-part focus on Maximising Human Touch we take a practical look at how to unlock moments of connection. In a time-poor world, being listened to has even more premium and is the most powerful way to connect with people during uncertainty and transformational change. Making the simple shift from telling someone what to do, to asking them what they would like to do is probably the easiest way to get into the habit of coaching.

We share simple ways to bring a coaching approach to life whether it be professional, parenting, partnering or friendship role. It also gives a way to gently steer conversations away from negativity and pessimism as coaching is all about enabling and empowering people to think about what might help them in that moment. 

A useful listen for anyone looking for practical tips to bring coaching to everyday practice, or a healthier way to handle the impact of others if they are immersed in lots of change and disruption.
