We all experience moments in our conversations where our compassion and curiosity reserves are low. We also know that compassion and curiosity are core dispositions for a Transformational Coach. In this episode, Elena tells you exactly what you need to know and do when you find yourself falling short of how you want to show up. 

Mentioned on this episode: 

Opportunities for continued learning: 

Reflection questions: 

  • Think about a time when you struggled to access curiosity or compassion. What was going on with you at that moment? Which of your needs were unmet? 
  • What gets under your skin? What kinds of behaviors in others close up your curiosity and compassion? 
  • Why does being compassionate and curious matter to you?
