Episode 6: Global Listening
Seeing the Forest, Not Just the Trees
In this episode of Coaching with Confidence and Care, I’m talking about a skill that can take your coaching to the next level: global listening.
As coaches, we’re all familiar with active listening — it’s a foundational skill. But have you ever felt overwhelmed by a client’s lengthy story, unsure of which thread to follow? That’s where global listening comes in. It’s about stepping back, shifting your perspective, and tuning into the bigger picture.
I’ll share my view on how global listening complements detailed listening, helping you avoid getting lost in the weeds and instead attune to the themes, patterns, and unspoken elements of a client’s narrative. You’ll also hear practical tips for cultivating this skill.
If you want to refine your active listening, this episode will provide insights to help you hold space for complexity and bring more depth to your coaching conversations.
