Does interrupting your coaching partner feel rude? Many coaches hold back, only to find the conversation is circling the same story. Jeanine Bailey and Marie Quigley explore bottom-lining: respectfully pausing your coaching partner to go beneath the story, in alignment with core coaching competencies. Discover how to contract for a pause, or interruption or bottom lining of the conversation: the compassionate language that makes a pause feel caring, and the key question to ask yourself first: am I serving their awareness, or my agenda? Reflect, experiment, and see how a well-placed pause can transform your coaching.
