Coaching involves:
* Listening longer and more deeply without giving direction or advice
* Trusting that people can work out most situations on their own if they have a safe place to express themselves
* Revealing the limiting perspective that is shaping our thinking and actions
* Gaining new levels of clarity that will lead to action
* Observing our own thinking or having it reflected back to us
* Asking questions that spur new thinking and options
* Partnering with another person, because no matter how good we are alone, we are better working within a supportive relationship
