What happens when the most powerful force in the room is the one no one is naming?

In every coaching conversation, emotions shape meaning, motivation, and movement. Yet clients often leave some of their most important feelings unspoken... from habit, culture, or fear of vulnerability. This session explores how coaches can gently bring those emotions to light, creating deeper trust and richer possibilities for change.

Whether you’re an experienced coach looking to refine your emotional presence, or you’re new to coaching and want a practical way to invite deeper dialogue, this practice is a core skill for fostering transformation.

Key Takeaways:
✅ Learn why unspoken emotions can block progress and how to safely surface them
✅ Practice using simple tools (like emotion wheels or metaphors) to help clients expand their emotional vocabulary
✅ Strengthen your ability to listen beneath words and respond in ways that honor, clarify, and empower
