The two most important things I do for for/with my clients are:
1) Listening
2) Asking the right questions.
My sessions have a warm and caring feel to them. My clients tend to tell me that they feel a sense of encouragement throughout the sessions.
My goal is to help people help themselves. I tend not to provide advice, I try to nurture people to provide themselves with their own advice. Advice that comes from WITHIN is always more powerful than advice that comes from WITHOUT.
My clients have learned that one of the most toxic words in the English language is can't. it's something that's re-enforced throughout our training experience.
