'Asking questions in a manner that their thought process itself will be disrupted' - just powerful!

Beautifully stated: “We are participating as partners and part of what we give to the coaching relationship is our ability to hear fully what is being said verbally, what is being communicated physically and even viscerally (intuitive) and to be able to reflect that.”

I love it. The expression ‘focusing on the client, so holy that you hear them through multiple neural pathways’ as example of listening actively.

What a supportive video! Thank you to Sackeena for reinforcing why I'm doing what I'm doing. Namely, listening actively and focusing on the client - so wholly!

A very clear, detailed presentation and so helpful: I loved the three types of listening: 1. listening to our clients 2. having our clients feel heard and 3. helping them hear themselves.

Very clear video about active listening. Very nicely explained by the speaker. And it's great that a squirrel is also watching at the beginning of the video.

Thank you so much Sackeena for the brilliant pointers on 'Active Listening'! Eg. being and doing, neural pathways, disrupt the thinking process, and help the clients listen to themselves.

I love this listening the client, having the client listen to themselves and have the client feel heard! Plus listening as a "being" more so than "doing"!

Beautifully shared and described. That ability to observe notice and reflect those things that aren’t being said. This is something I love about listening.
