Am watching a DVD presentation: How To Open A Coaching Session by Sharon Pearson.

Am learning so much about...

• why not to worry if I don't know what to say
• how to sidestep the trap of 1-2-3 questions from the client
• why you should speak up in moments of uncertainty
• when is the right time to point out a truth
• why a question I can't answer may not be a bad question
• the goal of coaching is to ask the unexpected
• the value of having inner certainty before I coach
  

It's definitely not what I expected to hear, and some of it is quite confronting (language girl!), but I have confidence that I can synthesize all this and use the best for my clients.
