Listening Beyond Words
In coaching, listening goes far beyond words. It is not only what is spoken that matters, but also what remains unspoken.
A coach listens to the pauses, to the hesitations, to the subtle shifts in tone. They listen not just to the voice, but to the silence between sentences.
Sometimes, when a person cannot hear their own inner voice, the coach becomes the mirror that reflects it back β not by adding noise, but by holding the quiet space where the heart can finally be heard.
π± True coaching listens not only to language, but to the life that breathes behind it.
