Episode notes
Coaching Is Inherently Systemic
- Coaching never happens solely at the individual level because organizational culture, team dynamics, and ecology are always present in the client.
- Treat the coachee as a partner and recognize the wider system as co-client to expand coaching impact.
Begin Sessions With Ecosystem Needs
- Start each session by asking, "What is the work that the life emerging in and around you needs us to be doing today?"
- Invite the voices of stakeholders and ecosystem partners into the agenda to co-discover necessary action.
Listen Beyond The Neocortex
- Coaches can access knowing beyond rational thought using somatic, constellation, and pattern-listening methods.
- Beauty and nonrational ways of knowing help surface emergent patterns that pure cognition misses.
