FACILITATING AUTHENTIC THINKING

When you coach, the conversation you engage your client in is designed to get him or her to authentically think and to think about oneself— one’s innermost thoughts, hopes, fears, wants, needs, etc. Simultaneously this evokes several other things in your client. At the very same time that your client is discovering his or her internal world— your client is learning how to “think.” Now most people think that they are thinking when actually they are not. What they are calling “thinking” is mostly self-criticism. What passes for thinking is a litany of problems, pseudo- solutions, a jumble of options, etc. True thinking is rare. Hence the need for a Coach!
