Dear all, I found it useful to open the conversation with a smile to establish trust and openness. It also helped to use a scale and to change perspectives by asking "how would others around you notice that you are one step further". This triggered the coachee to mention more things that have improved. As an alternative next time, I would add a list to provide even more self-reflection opportunities. PS. I don't have a study buddy yet, so if anybody is happy to have me in their group for next week, I'd be delighted :-) see you tomorrow
Dear Andrea, I like you have such a wide range of your attention and you recognize this smile in the beginning as important part of the conversation :) Haesun Moon sais "We've been overselling questions as THE thing" (here, worth listening to her from 5'26'' https://www.facebook.com/sf24c/videos/759267464808956/) - but all this occured in response to the client. A this smile you describe is a "starting" connection with the client!
If you ever happen to try out the list thing I'd be curious to hear your observation and learning from it, dear Andrea!
Well, my recording seems to got lost, maybe due to interruption in the line or using the iPad, while I was sitting at my beautiful vacation destination. Therefore I am not able to listen to it 😣
I found it useful to start with makeing an agreement, and in that way establish the expectations for the session. I also like to ask what the coachee has done DIFFERENT, and then follow up with "What was the result of that?" or "How has that worked out for you?"
Dear Johanna, keep on doing your 'always'.
I'm fascinated by the idea of smalltalk. If we think about coaching as payed time of the client for the better of the client....
_how can we use the connecting at the beginning (let's call it 'smalltalk') as useful time for the client?
_questions always offer a direction of attention, invite a certain answer spectrum. How do we use those valuable seconds and minutes of the beginning so the client, following our invitation, starts the session with more hope and confidence?
I found it useful to summarize and recap what I heard from the Coachee before moving forward. This with a smile and undisturbed full attention and curiosity.

For me following items are extremly useful
opening with a very short smalltalk
building the agreement for this session for clarification
what is better now, what have you done different
what would person xy mention, if I ask them.... about what is better
bringing in a scale
following the steps does always guide to success, this is amazing

Coming a bit late here.
