41 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,880 It's built on two things. 42 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,400 I think, first of all, developing a connection 43 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,080 with someone. 44 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,300 How do we go about identifying connection? 45 00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:58,560 I was talking with somebody earlier today, 46 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,840 and I think that's the most important element of what 47 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,480 comes next, and that's building relationship. 48 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,480 But the connection is born by what 49 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,000 do we have in common? 50 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,720 So much of what we often focus on, I think, 51 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,960 is what are our differences in background, education, 52 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:25,600 where we're raised, faith or non-faith, just kind of where 53 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,920 life has taken us up to that point. 54 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:30,480 So where is our commonality? 55 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,220 Where does that intersection lie first? 56 00:03:34,220 --> 00:03:38,880 Once we've established that, we can build a relationship 57 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:44,160 on top of it, I believe, focusing on many of the things 58 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,760 that we have in common, acknowledging 59 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,240 what makes us different, but also celebrating that, 60 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,740 because with what a variety of people bring to the table, 61 00:03:54,740 --> 00:03:58,820 you're stronger with those divergent viewpoints. 62 00:03:58,820 --> 00:04:03,360 So my coaching practice starts from that standpoint. 63 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,320 It feeds into curiosity after that. 64 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:13,320 I'm interested in people and what their backgrounds are. 65 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,800 Learning things that I'm not familiar with 66 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,520 makes me better as an individual. 67 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,640 And so it's building that curiosity, 68 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:28,880 satisfying my interest in that that comes next. 69 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,080 From there, we can dig into coaching. 70 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,320 What is it that you want, client? 71 00:04:35,320 --> 00:05:03,320 How can I help and assist you to get there?
