More concise, radical and so challenging thoughts from Nancy Kline.

Plenty here that 'coaches' who over-help should think on.

Can we really develop the ability to show such intense focus on others that we speak only when invited by them?

Is our ego and desire to unhelpfully inflict wisdom and ideas sufficiently under control?

Is what we are going to say really more important than what our conversation partner was about to think?

Can we re-shape the value we bring to clients as coaches away from what we tell them to the space we provide to let them find their own solutions?

Are we capable of breaking out of a cycle of wanting people to feel as we do to encouraging genuine independent thinking?

I am finding the questions above really tough, and will keep on trying.
