Applying Laser-Focused Coaching allows you to go deeper rather than broader, thereby staying more focused, maximizing the time, and creating long–lasting change. Become aware of what you are actually listening for in every conversation. 

Masterful coaching is about separating the person from the situation. Specific approaches are presented through illustrated examples to learn how to facilitate profound changes in clients’ thinking patterns that immediately create awareness.

Learning Objectives:

• Reflect with editorial.
• Share observations without attachment.
• Various ways to create the shift.

• Become aware of what to listen for to separate the situation from the person.
• Distinguish truth from perception.
• Know exactly what makes a question ‘powerful’ – it’s not what you think.
• Learn several methods that help to create transformational shifts. 
• Justify leaving far more silence than customary.
