FC-107 Power Listening 2 - Refection on this course

Moderator- Michael Monvi

Today, I attended the ICA Course FC-107 Power Listening 2 and I would like to share what I have learned during the session with you:

Just like our reading material said: “A little-recognized value of listening and inquiring relates to the realization that in human relationships, it is frequently not what the facts are, but what people think the facts are, which is truly important. There is benefit in learning what someone else's concept of the reality of the situation is.” (Bryan Bell)

In the process, Michael, took the role play technology to run this session and have us to find out the powerful strength about powerful listening. Before the ending, Michael pretended to be a client and told us about his issue, and asked us to give him a question for break through. I learned a lot from this session by just listening.

If a client is unable to move beyond a past issue, injury or disappointment, this may be a sign that they are in need of counseling or therapy, rather than coaching (or in addition to coaching). If they can’t move to a future focus, then they should be referred on to an appropriately qualified therapist.

Use your intuition: Listen from the heart and pick up on all communication. Share with the client things you are sensing and feeling. Intuition is a very powerful coaching tool. If the coach is sensing something the client is saying, it is best to share it with them.
