LANGUAGING AND THE CONVERSATION YOU ARE

If indeed, you and I and all of our coaching clients are a conversation, then what does this mean for you as a professional Meta-Coach? From the last post on this subject, it means that your primary tool as a coach is your use of language. It means that the languaging of your client offers you a tool for linguistic focus. If your client is a conversation, what conversation have they had and are they continuing to have, that creates their identity, sense of self, and experience of reality? What conversation are they?

Languaging plays an absolutely crucial a role in our lives. You think in words and in language, and most of the time, if you can’t find the words to encode your thoughts and express them, you cannot even think the thoughts. If you can’t find the words, it’s very hard to know what you are thinking which is why you then grope for words so that you can become clear— to yourself.
