coaching is an undefined technique applied to unspecified cases with unpredictable results for this technique rigorous training is required
the correct answer to who is responsible for the problem is the problem is responsible not the person, let's work with that idea!
and its more than simply the person is not the problem , the problem is the problem, the problem is the problem's problem
narrative coaching distinguishes life as art and coach as artist
anyone interested in narrative approaches to peacebuilding worth reading the moral imagination by john paul lederach

our lives are made up of an almost infinite number of events each of which can be storied differently - every story can have a different end
Mo Cohen retweeted
in narrative the most important and the most difficult thing to get your head round is that we organise our lives through stories not needs
the big question to ask ourselves in narrative coaching is what kind of relationships is this conversation bringing into existence
narrative questions are always about privileging new possibilities for living not preserving one-size oughtisms for everyone
