S1 Episode 47: The Art of Coaching: Intuition and Sensing with Nicky Chambers

Today Claire is talking with coach Nicky Chambers who emailed [email protected] with some lovely feedback, and a question: What are your thoughts on sensing, and on intuition? So we said come to The Coaching Inn and let’s talk…   Takeaways Coaching is about being with the thinker, not controlling the process. Intuition and sensing are distinct; sensing is present in the room, while intuition often comes from outside. Effective coaching requires a balance of control and partnership. Vibrational listening enhances the coaching experience by tuning into the thinker's needs. Cultural differences can influence coaching styles and approaches. Timing is crucial; interventions should be offered when they are useful to the client. Offering insights should be done cleanly and without attachment. Learning from mistakes is a vital part of the coaching journey. Mastery in coaching involves simplicity and clarity in communication. The dance of coaching is a partnership where both contribute to the process.   Some links The video that got Nicky thinking  Liquid Leadership and John and Johannes are on our Coaching Presence Playlist on YouTube Contact Nicky Chambers via LinkedIn If you have a question about an aspect of coaching where you’d like to dig deeper, let’s talk at The Coaching Inn.
