In most circumstance, coaches cannot impact clients because they cannot form personal connections with clients (7). Coaching is an important element of leadership because through it coaches help others mature and become more effective (3). Whereas counselors advise clients how to improve, coaches need to ask clients important questions – even if it’s only for a few minutes per day – so clients will be inspired to move towards their goals. Stanier suggests coaches need to move beyond myths to practicalities so clients will become motivated to move forward. (17-18). Before clients will be motivated to make the needed changes, however, coaches need to know the triggers that cause clients to behave in a certain (19).

In the previous video I practised particular counselling skills, which when combined, increased the support given to the client. As I provided the client with attention, by having an open body language, nodding and using hand gestures, they continued to speak about the situation and how it is affecting them. I was then able to paraphrase and ask open questions which the client answered, going into further depth as I had, and was, showing that I was paying attention.
