Moving the Client Forward: Designing Effective Actions

Abstract

AS COACHES OF LEADERS, we are quite skilled and practiced in building rapport with our leader/clients, asking penetrating questions, listening deeply, and understanding our clients and the worlds in which they live. When we’re with them, great things often happen. A new distinction is seen, a helpful insight is grasped, and the leader can often begin to write a new story for himself during the meeting. Powerful though those interactions may be, the question remains, “how do we keep the momentum moving forward between sessions?”
