Summary

In this enlightening episode of the Arete Coach Podcast, host Severin Sorensen sits down with Janet Fogarty, a Vistage master chair with over two decades of experience in executive coaching. Janet shares her unique approach to coaching, which emphasizes intuition and active listening while discussing the crucial balance between intuitive practices and evidence-based methodologies in the evolving field of coaching.

Central to the conversation is Janet's 'left-hand margin' technique, a method she uses to capture intuitive observations during coaching sessions. This approach, aligned with the ICF core competencies of 'Evokes Awareness' and 'Listens Actively', allows Janet to identify subtle cues and underlying themes that might not be apparent through structured approaches alone. The discussion delves into how this intuitive method can be integrated with more structured, evidence-based coaching practices to create a comprehensive and adaptable coaching methodology.

Throughout the episode, listeners are invited to reflect on their own coaching practices and consider how they balance intuition with structured approaches. Janet's insights, drawn from her extensive experience as both a coach and a former business owner, offer valuable perspectives on the art and science of executive coaching. This episode provides a thought-provoking exploration of how coaches can leverage both intuitive skills and evidence-based methods to adapt to the emerging challenges and opportunities in the field of coaching.
