What happens when clients pause and ask themselves, "What would a wise person do?" This session demonstrates how considering the client’s experience from the lens of a wise person can help uncover patterns of behavior and decide what might be most useful. Using real coaching examples and insights from Laser-Focused Coaching, participants will gain practical ways to invite clients—and themselves—to reframe perspectives and generate ideas on how they can move forward with greater clarity and wisdom.
The more a coach understands how humans operate, the better the coaching. Excerpts from the book will be shared and discussed.
- Consider the client’s experience as a wise person when deciding what might be most useful.

- Support the client in identifying potential results or learning from identified action steps as a wise person.
- Reinforced knowledge on crafting succinct, open-ended questions that stimulate new client insights

- Greater awareness of how to create and allows space for silence, pause, or reflection and how this space enables wiser responses
