Learn about the benefits of coaching, and how we can all get involved
2021
In this podcast episode Catriona Horey, a professional coach, discusses the benefits of coaching and the impact that it can have on people’s lives. She also explains how we can all use coaching skills to help the people around us grow and flourish, both personally and professionally.
Catriona says, ‘When I think about the really important parts of coaching, it’s about the quality of our listening, and the quality of our questions. Coaching is about being of service to someone and being present for them - listening well and asking questions to promote insight and help them move their own thinking forward.
‘Listening from a coaching perspective is about slowing down and really hearing what people are saying... asking them what is important to them and listening for the nuance of what is not being said. It is turning our attention to the other person - taking it away from ourselves and putting it on them. It is about being really thoughtful as we interact with others.’
