“AND YOUR ANSWER IS...”

Clients asks themselves questions. Have you ever noticed? In one of the sessions at the PCMC training in December, I counted 12 questions that the client has posed to himself, twelve questions — all which were versions of the same inquiry. Do you think that was important? Yet the coach did not once seemed to notice and not once did the coach ask, “And your answer is?”

Nor was that an exception. At the ACMC level it occurs all the time. And I don’t think I’d be exaggerating to say that it occurs in every session. If it doesn’t, it is close to 99% of the time and just that often Coaches do not seem to hear it. Ah, yes, something else “not heard.” At the PCMC level, in every single session the client ask him or herself a question and most of the time, the Coach did not give any indication that he or she heard it.
