Description

Description: Most coaches think they’re listening — but if you're not using your client’s exact words, you're likely missing the mark.

In this episode of The Art and Skill of Coaching, I’m diving into one of the most common mistakes I see when auditing coaching sessions: interpreting instead of reflecting. This subtle but powerful error can break trust, block transformation, and even keep your client stuck.

You’ll learn:

  • Why repeating your version of what the client said damages connection

  • The neuroscience behind using a client’s exact language

  • How to use “clean summaries” that build clarity and move sessions forward

  • A simple but powerful habit (note-taking!) that will upgrade your coaching immediately

  • A real-world case example that shows you exactly how to apply this

If you want to deepen your skills, build subconscious rapport, and make every word count — this episode is for you.
