Every once in a while, we like to share a quote on our Linkedin page that we think will inspire or speak to professional coaches. It’s a great way to pause and elevate a coach’s perception of the work they do. These quotes can also be used in sessions with clients, to share some wisdom and invite reflection and learning. You’ll find below the 15 quotes we’ve already shared – with more to come in the future (part 2 is here!)
"Coaching should be a process of inquiry, not a series of questions."
"Maybe the fear is that we are less than we think we are, when the actuality of it is that we are much much more."
"Acknowledging: "Thanks for sharing that information." Affirming: "Thanks for sharing that information because it helps me better understand your mindset."
"Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity."
"“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."
"Man knows much more than he understands."
"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply."
"Learn your theories as well as you can, but put them aside when you touch the miracle of the living soul."
"Play is the answer to how anything new comes about."
"I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
“Anyone can become angry — that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way — this is not easy.”
"In a very real sense we have two minds, one that thinks and one that feels."
"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven."
"There are three musts that hold us back: I must do well. You must treat me well. And the world must be easy."
"For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them."
