Coaching Tips
Pause to allow you and your partner time to think.
Paraphrase from to time to time; summarize your partner’s thoughts by saying: “So, what I hear you saying is . . . ”
Probe gently to support your partner in gaining clarity in his/her thinking by asking: “Specifically what might you mean when you say…?”
Pay close attention to your partner—attend with your mind and your body. 6
