Thank you Deni and Marion. You made my day! And you reminded me that it’s time to release the second installment of that coaching session. Quite a few people have written to me to say “I want to hear what happens next!”

I’m very gratified to hear that my work makes a difference (I think that’s a big driver for all coaches, don’t you?), so thank you again for your comments.

As a coach trainer and fellow mentor coach who is VERY selective and very into masterful coaching skills, Barbra demonstrated masterful coaching as it should be done. She was totally present, listening actively, powerful and direct with a loving tone, and created awareness early on.

I especially liked the way Barbra stayed with the client – she ‘lead by following’ is what I call it. She didn’t let the client’s words or thoughts evaporate – instead she questioned for further clarity.

All in all a great demonstration!

I did enjoy this, very much. Many times the coach sounds robotic with observations and questions. This was very natural and genuine.

I would love to see more.
