The article redefines coaching as a relational and biological process centered on meeting individuals where they are, rather than imposing external pressure. It emphasizes the importance of physiological attunement, suggesting that successful coaching relies more on one's embodied presence than on charisma or content. The piece articulates that effective coaching involves understanding clients' nervous systems and responding appropriately to their current states—whether it's calming, uplifting, or challenging them—while avoiding harmful pressure that detracts from genuine engagement.
Coaching, at its core, is a relational and biological act. It's the ability to attune to the current state, meeting someone exactly where they are.
When this happens, coaching becomes performance, and presence disappears. It's about capacity—our ability to be a reliable cue of safety, creating a settling environment.
