YOUR VOICE—YOUR STYLE

Among the insights I’d like to offer you, this next one is so crucial, so essential, that if you miss this one, you will tend to not have very many transformational and experiential coaching sessions with your clients. They will be nice talks. Helpful chats. But not life-changing coachable moments.

4) Practice using your voice as a coach. If I wasn’t so engaged in watching the videos that I’ve received and writing a report that, I really, really hope, will take that Meta-Coach’s skills to the PCMC level, I would have fallen asleep listening to several of the videos. The voice of coach and client was monotone ... and they droned on talking, talking, talking, never altering tone, tempo, or emphasis. Now while I didn’t fall asleep because I was paying attention to the sound of the monotone drone (!), those videos were good examples of how not to use your voice.
