This ability is what the client needs from the coach, as they draw optimism and perseverance from watching and interacting with a coach who possesses good self-confidence. The client also needs to experience a high level of free interaction in coaching, which requires:

• Asking clear questions.
• Focusing calmly with the client.
• Careful word selection.
• Being persistent in gaining knowledge and awareness.
• Confidence in their performance.

When the client observes this kind of impactful behavior, it reflects on their state. They begin to shift their thinking from a negative to a positive perspective. The key is for the client to find encouragement in trusting the coach’s ability to help them.

Personal Impact First

What most people fail to notice is the impact that shows on one’s personality, as the personality reflects most of the traits visible in facial features. Additionally, it helps in observing other important aspects, such as thoughts, communication styles, and the topics raised by the coach. In all cases, these methods are significant enough to the point where they can influence the client’s decision to continue or stop.
