EMPATHY
Mindfulness meditation practitioners reportedly show more empathy towards their clients than their non-meditating counterparts. A benefit of mindfulness is being able to see through to your client’s core issues, a skill greatly aided by empathy.
COMPASSION
Mindfulness means being open to not judging and not reacting to what unfolds during meditation. By not judging and not reacting to your clients, you are showing compassion and making them feel more comfortable. Mindfulness practice strengthens your ability to be in and remain in coach position.
COACHING MASTERY
Mindfulness increases attention, comfort with silence, and interpersonal connection. Ensuring you understand a client’s needs, feel comfortable with silence while your client ponders quesitons, and maintaining fluidity with your coaching practice are skills that are integral in aiding your coaching clients.
