S3 Episode 23: Open Table - Coaching is about Feeling Seen and Heard and…

If you heard Claire’s interview with Ruth Davey you’ll know that they talked about feeling heard and feeling seen. There was plenty of chat about it on our social media so today, Claire is in conversation with

• Nicola Peers - Instagram peers.n
• Simon Foster
• Paula Smith
• Kim Witten 

We talk about the Zulu greeting Sawubona: All my attention is with you. I see you and I allow myself to discover your needs, to see your fears, to identify your mistakes and accept them. I accept you for what you are and you are part of me. What’s the difference between feeling heard and feeling seen? And in coaching, what do we need to set aside in order to be able to see someone else… and to be seen ourselves?

 

We love these round table conversations, so they are going to become a more regular feature at The Coaching Inn. The next open table is recording 11th July 17.15-18.15 (UK).  We will be talking about What got you started in coaching? And what keeps you here? Would you like to be part of the conversation?
