Ep. 266 - Can I Pause You There? The Art of Bottom-Lining in Coaching

Does interrupting your coaching partner feel rude? Many coaches hold back, only to find the conversation is circling the same story. Jeanine Bailey and Marie Quigley explore bottom-lining: respectfully pausing your coaching partner to go beneath the story, in alignment with core coaching competencies. Discover how to contract for a pause, or interruption or bottom lining of the conversation: the compassionate language that makes a pause feel caring, and the key question to ask yourself first: am I serving their awareness, or my agenda? Reflect, experiment, and see how a well-placed pause can transform your coaching.
