Watch How Coaching Works: A Short Movie on You Tube

We released a movie titled "How Coaching Works" as a way to explain coaching, via YouTube, using an animated cartoon. This blog series aims to share the psychological underpinnings of the coach approach demonstrated in the carton and utilized by master coaches.

One key to masterful coaching is the idea of being "in flow." This happens in two ways in the coaching relationship:

1) Flow in the relationship between the coach and the client; a dance-like conversation in which both parties are fully engaged and stretched and neither is controlling the dance.

2) Flow in the relationship between the client and the client's wellness goals; in other words, finding goals which match their level of readiness and confidence while stretching their skills.
