Our Process & Approach
Mindful Spot Coaching© begins with connecting and relating, by paying attention and being present with a blend of deep listening and thoughtful questioning to understand the desired change.
With the coaching goal established, it is essential for the coach to challenge thinking and test reality against the client’s self-stories. This evokes their best ideas, leading to quick shifts in thinking and immediate changes in behavior and performance. In 30-minutes or less, the coaching conversation can move rapidly from awareness to clarity to action.
Obstacles to change are also examined, and accountability and measures are built in. Finally, specific practices for reflection are agreed on to sustain the learning journey.
