anatomy of a breakthrough she kept
The moment that would have slipped away by Tuesday.
Inès coaches mid-career leaders. Six sessions in, one client said something she'd been circling for weeks, that she kept handing her decisions to other people's approval. It landed quietly, almost as an aside, the way the real ones often do.
On any other day, Inès would have nodded, stayed present, and tried to remember it later. By Tuesday, the exact phrasing would be gone. ✦ heidiThat's the breakthrough. Captured her words exactly, and it's the third session this theme has come up. Inès never looked down. She stayed with her client. I held the moment.
Two sessions later, Inès reflected it back, in the client's own words, and showed her the pattern across the weeks. The client cried, the good kind. That's the work. And for once, none of it lived only in a coach's fading memory.
HeidiYou did the listening that mattered. I just made sure the moment didn't evaporate before you could use it.
