What to expect.
Mastery is experiential: the place to put the CEQ method into practice with other coaches, and to build on it. Delivered on Microsoft Teams with a live facilitator, it takes experienced coaches beyond technique into the quality of attention, challenge and breakthrough that distinguishes a master coach. SuperListening is noticing: the curiosity that builds trust. SuperListening feedback is naming what we notice. Breakthrough Coaching is noticing plus challenging, built on that trust.

1Module 1 · SuperListening and SuperNoticing
- The 3 Levels of Listening: internal (judgemental), focused (curiosity), global (sensing)
- Verbal cues: hesitations, softening language, repetition, denial, distracting, the sentence they can’t finish, the throwaway comment
- Non-verbal cues: tone, pace, posture, micro-expressions. When the mind moves, the body moves too
- SuperListening feedback prompts, and the three answers it takes to get to the truth
- Practice: coach the whole person, with observations immediately afterwards
2Module 2 · From SuperListening to Breakthrough
- The 3 C’s of Breakthrough Coaching: curiosity, comfort zone, challenge
- The Breakthrough Toolkit: superlatives, short direct questions, repeating the question, yes/no questions, naming avoidance, inviting a decision
- The question we ask versus the question they answer: make your questions unavoidable
- Pairs and triad practice with an observer, using GROW to guide the conversation
- Group reflection and personal commitments
What you will take away.
- Move from internal listening to focused and global listening, and know which one you are doing
- Notice the hesitations, softening language, denial, distraction and unfinished sentences that signal the real issue
- Offer what you notice without judgement, starting with I may be wrong, but I got a sense that
- Use the Breakthrough Toolkit to provoke clarity, decision and ownership
- Coach the whole person, in pairs and triads, with observed feedback
