Kim Avery will be the featured coach on this episode of Master-Full Coaching. As you listen, you’ll be able to hear for yourself the powerful, yet subtle, shift in dynamics that takes place when a coach is willing to:

• Transition from the type of praise that encourages approval-seeking behaviors to the type of communication that encourages purpose-fulfilling actions.

• Step back to encourage a facilitated monologue that allows a client to hear him or herself and decide the best course of action.

• Clarify the overarching goal a client seeks and narrow it down to something manageable for one coaching session.

• Draw out the client’s values so that he or she can discern what drives current decisions and what will shape future choices.
