Creating new awareness
According to the ICF, evoking new awareness is about asking questions that “help the client explore beyond the client’s current thinking or feeling to new or expanding ways of thinking or feeling about themselves (the who).”
In Professional Coaching Competencies: The Complete Guide, Dr. Damian Goldvarg and his colleagues expand on the concept of creating new awareness. They state that in creating new awareness involves examining issue from different perspectives. Coaches, therefore, must invite coachees to look at situations as outside observers looking in. Coaches challenge coachees to re-interpret their current situation and rethink and reframe their next steps.
Ask coaches, consider the questions you raise in a coaching conversation and how they help coaches shift their assumptions, attitudes, approaches, and actions. What shifts do you observe in the clients you serve as a result of the questions you raise?
