On the question of Interruptions
from PRIME SPACE · host Elias Scultori, MCC
In this episode of PRIME SPACE, Elias dives into the common coaching myth that "coaches don't interrupt clients." While it is generally true that coaches should avoid interrupting clients to allow them to process their thoughts fully, Elias explains that there are times when an intentional and appropriate interruption can help support the client's thought process. He outlines the distinction between clients who are reflecting productively and those who are getting lost in repetitive or circular thinking. [10:10] In the latter case, a thoughtful interruption to refocus the client can be warranted, as long as the coach's intention is truly to support the client rather than impose their own agenda. [13:45] Elias provides tips on how to interrupt in a constructive way that maintains trust and safety in the coaching relationship.
