"If your client isn't really invested in their own development, that can sometimes make the coaching process more challenging." – Britt (3:10)
"I would encourage anyone who is a coach to think about the scenario and what might be coming up for [them] as to what is making an interaction or engagement [with a client] difficult." – Raj (4:23)
"One of the harsher realities of coaching is that not every client is going to be the best fit for you. If you're looking at it through a lens that is impossible for you to break away from, the professional thing to do then is to have a conversation with [the client] about connecting them with another coach that might be more suited for them; and that is the best thing you can do for them in service of their goals." - Britt (7:49)
"In designing the alliance, it helps me to learn, to meet [the client] in their world." – Raj (10:03)
"I have clients where we do a check-point, and things have changed or shifted – what they thought they initially wanted is not what they really wanted, or who they are now is not the same as when we started our work together." - Raj (19:33)
"My opinion, the most critical thing we do in coaching, is we help our clients become more self-aware so they can achieve the right goal, not just any arbitrary goal that they set for themselves." – Britt (22:00)
"My role [as a coach] is, I'm walking along side you with a torch and I'm shining a light on the things that are going to trip you up." - Raj (24:22)
