I have realized over my time as an executive coach (and prior to that, as an OD consultant) that I have assembled my own personal treasure box of what I call “heuristics”. These are the pithy sayings, models, and go-to concepts that I have found useful in describing my meaning, in terms of providing a contribution to my client in that moment in our coaching conversation. (Understanding the nature of that prompting urge is, I suspect, a topic for another blog-piece!)

the good coach is a coaching knowledge platform for a community of sophisticated coaching practitioners to learn and share their professional insights and personal reflections of how coaching works for them in their market.
