BEING THE CONVERSATION

We all know that coaching is a conversation. What you may not know is that you are a conversation. Your client is a conversation. So when we say that coaching is a conversation that changes your client’s conversation, we are talking about two things.

We are first of all talking about the inner conversation that your client has within his or her mind, the inner game of the conversation that makes up your client’s frames of beliefs, understandings, representations, etc. We are also speaking about something much more profound and foundational; your client’s ontological being a conversation and its transformation in terms of your client’s identity and sense of self.
