The most exciting times, for me, are those moments when a client reflects on her day and realizes that she has changed….There's incontrovertible evidence that she has become a different person, with new competencies and capacities, than before. It happens frequently, and it's startling and wonderful!

Coaching is an action-oriented learning process for the client. It should be for the coach as well. The best thing you can do for your clients is to develop yourself. Although you can always add new tools and techniques, your ability to be mindfully present is at the core of how you serve.

Doug's deep listening and reflection led to my becoming able to fluidly ask myself provocative questions, to listen to the patterns of my own thinking, and to be aware of the choices I was making.

In committing to serve the client-to be present, flexible, and responsive-the coach herself becomes more present and alive. She enters the conversation awake and willing to discover something new about her client and about herself.

The truth is that people in the business world desperately want authenticity, fulfillment, and meaning. Being mindful and present is the beginning point for all of these.

Inspirational

The three areas of Investigator questioning provide the backbone of the coaching process; in a very real way, the remaining voices simply deepen the client's search for answers to these three questions, and anchor the results of the learning process in clear action steps.

It's difficult when clients struggle with follow-through, or we talk about an action or a practice, and there's some breakdown and it doesn't happen. Of course, the breakdown is the opening for the next piece of work… it shows us something valuable about their response to what's out there.

Inspirational

When we see all of life as practice, and take pleasure in the practice itself, we begin to recognize that the pressure for perfection is just another habit of mind that gets in our way. This provides tremendous freedom. No matter the perceived stakes, we can choose to view it as nothing more than yet another opportunity to practice.

I came to see that engaging leaders in transforming their own paradigms and behaviors needed to precede engaging the rest of the system… I still do some organizational change work, but only when I'm working with the top executive.
