Dr. Shiny Unsal shares a coaching moment with Christie, showing how high-level coaches stay on the road toward a client's goal. Even with empathy and active listening, you need to reclarify the conversation and redirect with minimal words when the dialogue drifts. This keeps limited time focused on what matters.

There was a few times, both I think when I was talking as well as when Christie was talking, when I was client, when she was client, that there was different roads we could travel down. And I think part of the active listening piece is, or became to me more apparent, that you got to stick to the road, especially in a short period of time that we have, right, as the, as the coach. So just continuing to empathize, continuing to actively listen, but just reclarifying. And in those moments when it is time for the coach to speak up, to be really— to use as few words as possible, but to redirect back in the direction it needs to go based on the desired outcome. So it was a good, I think, a good opportunity to illuminate that a little brighter for me.
