Show Notes
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Haesun Moon— a coach, communication scientist, and author of the bestselling book: Coaching A to Z.
A pioneer in the field of solution-focused dialogue, Dr. Moon is widely known for her accessible coaching tools, especially the Dialogical Orientation Quadrant (DOQ). In 2023, she was shortlisted as one of the top 8 coaches in the world by Thinkers 50.
In this conversation, we explore:
— Why not all narratives are curative
— How Haesun’s Dialogical Orientation Quadrant can transform your coaching practice and any conversation
— Why asking “How can I help you?” may be the worst way to start a session
— The power of scaling questions—and how to use them well
— Why it’s vital to preserve the client’s language—and how empathy is often lost through interpretation.
And more.
