The Listening Edge

Most coaches believe they’re already good listeners. Research shows we process information four times faster than people speak — and our minds naturally wander, judge, or prepare responses rather than truly absorbing what’s being communicated.

Drawing directly from ICF Core Competency 6 (Listens Actively) and supporting Competency 5 (Maintains Presence), this highly interactive session challenges coaches to expand their listening repertoire and develop agility to adapt their approach to what each unique client needs in the moment.

Learning Objectives:
– Identify their own listening style and default listening patterns
– Understand how to flex between listening habits for greater coaching effectiveness
– Gain tools to transform their listening and become more effective communicators
