Claire writes: ‘When I do a coaching demonstration at training events, I invite the person who has been coached to go and sit alone while everyone else reflects on what they have observed. It’s a boundary we keep to help them stay safe and keep everyone else from finishing the story!

Yet what I observe is that the transformation continues while they are sat alone – and they always know new things at the end of the silence than they did at the end of the coaching. Some people write pages of new thinking!

When Nick coaches, he recommends that people put post-reflection time alone in after the conversation to continue thinking. Coaching is a process. A session is a very small part of it. Free time adds value!
