Today’s Topic: Timeless Coaching Tips – Part 1 And the tip we’re going to talk about today is this: Listening. Now, I’m going to talk about listening as a skill in the context of coaching or counseling or in any helping profession. But please know that this skill is certainly applicable for anyone who wants to be a more effective communicator in the world. Vitamin L – listening – is at a surprising premium these days. I think it’s a rare commodity. It doesn’t happen nearly as much as it ought to. The world is filled with a lot of noise. We are under a constant state of media chatter, sound effects, talking heads, opinions, and obnoxious music, and just about everyone, it seems, wants their voice to be heard. There’s a massive battle that goes on in the advertising universe – and that battle is for our attention. We live in a world where it seems like everyone’s talking, but is anyone really listening? When it comes to any coaching or counseling practice, listening is your number one skill. It comes first and foremost above anything and everything else. Listening may be the single most valuable thing that any practitioner could ever offer. Think for a moment of the times when you’ve gone to the doctor’s office or to any health professional, and you noticed that they were busy, stressed, and needing to move through their session with you quickly. Can you recall the feeling of what it’s like to realize that we are putting our most precious gift – our health – into the hands of another person who’s not fully listening to us and paying attention? They’re distracted. They are not fully with us. They have a lot on their minds. They’re not really listening. If there is no true listening, then there can be no true insight. If there is no true listening, then there can be no true assessment and diagnosis. If there is no true listening, then there can be no true connection. If there is no true listening, then there is no real value happening in that moment. ad the rest of the transcript on our Institute for the Psychology of Eating site here:http://psychologyofeating.com/timeless-coaching-tips-part-1/
