We explore the theme of noticing in coaching and the importance of observing what is happening in the thinker. What are the challenges of noticing and the transformative impact it can have on coaching sessions? We talk about how it contributes to the flow of the conversation, the power of silence, the art of interrupting, and the impact of asking shorter and more focused questions. The key takeaway is to create space for the thinker to think and to stay present in the moment. By noticing and offering, rather than diagnosing, coaches can keep the conversation in the realm of generative exploration.
