COACHING HOW YOUR CLIENT SPEAKS

When you speak, you reveal your thinking. That’s obvious, as you think, so you speak. In fact, because a great deal of your thinking is in words (probably most of your thinking), the words you use determines what you can think, how you think, and the quality of your thinking.

Take a meta-moment and consider about that. It actually is quite incredible! You and I cannot actually think better than the words we use. Your thinking is therefore determined and limited by your vocabulary to a great extent—to an extent greater than you realize. And so is your client’s thinking which determines his emotions, way of talking, way of acting, way of relating and from there everything else he does in life. Are you having one of those Oh My God moments as you consider this? I am.
