A Research Paper By Rebekah Christensen
Life Coach, AUSTRALIA
At the core of coaching is curiosity. We are inquisitive about our clients and their circumstances as coaches. We enquire and make observations that can assist in extending the client’s understanding of themselves and their difficulties. We also inspire curiosity in our clients by doing this, both about them and their circumstances. Being inquiring about myself and my circumstances when I am the client receiving coaching is as well as a physical experience. Having become aware of these feelings has piqued my interest in the inner workings of our minds during periods of curiosity. How does curiosity affect the brain?
