The Power of Trust and Rapport in Coaching
In coaching, the foundation lies in the trust and rapport between the coach and the client. Trust and rapport create a safe space for interaction and are the most valuable gifts a coach can offer. Trustworthiness begins with holding space, which means maintaining an optimistic, compassionate neutrality. This form of neutrality is not indifference; it is about ensuring clients do not feel judged or criticized, and it is reflected in the coach's expressions, tone of voice, questions, and answers.
