They share real stories of those game-changing \"aha\" moments that happen when the right questions are asked at the right time. Instead of telling clients what to do, great coaching is about truly listening, fostering genuine conversations, and creating space for deep reflection.
Eric and Michel break down how coaches can help people untangle their thoughts, get clarity and discover their own best solutions. They introduce some powerful tools—like future authoring and EcoCycle planning—that can help anyone (not just coaches!) navigate challenges in life and work more effectively.
This episode is all about shifting the focus from advice-giving to real, meaningful growth. Don’t miss it!
