Would you like to learn how to partner with your clients in a way that will really help them to transform themselves? Did you know that this transformation actually begins with you and your development as a coach? If so, you will really enjoy this show, Vicki Escude joins us and she talks to us about Transformational Change. She shares some very dynamic thoughts with us about Active Listening and Reflection and also about using your Coaching Presence to help your clients to tap into what is really important to them and in this way, assisting them to create transformation within themselves. Listen in as Vicki challenges us to not step in and rescue our clients by attempting to make decisions for them in order to keep them from making ‘mistakes’, because in fact, what we think of as mistakes, could very well be learning opportunities for them.
