So interesting, and well done on doing the course. I did a very short coaching taster (literally half a day). I'm a fixer and a doer so I also struggled to 'sit on my hands' as you put it. What shifted it for me was realising how meditative I found the process myself. I was completely present in the moment, as I had to give my 100% focus to the other person, and I had to really listen, not just listen for what I thought the answer was. Good luck with the submission!
Thanks Emma. You’re right, there is something meditative and calming about 100% focus. Listening becomes a whole body experience. Thanks also re the submission…it’s been forever, if ever, I’ve had to write a reflective assessment using Harvard Referencing…gulp!
