Finding balance in Coaching, between listening, and speaking

As coach, embody the idea of 'being' the really close 'best' friend, the 'trusted' counsellor.
Be present. For the coachee. To listen, and really hear what is being said. To observe without judgement.
If coachee (person being coached) is moving toward personal insight, 'aha' moments, continue to just be present, observe, listen.
Occasionally encourage, gently explore further.
If necessary, e.g. with circular, spiralling narratives, try ontological shifting, by 'noticing' one element of what was said, by exploring emotion. Practicing a somatic shift or exercise. Taking a pause. And a breath.
