“Of particular relevance to executive coaching are the principles of dialogical
thinking (encouraging the thinker, i.e., the client, to understand problems from multiple points of view), and dialectical thinking (developing understanding in the client that both questions and their answers evolve over time and can differ at different life stages).” (Peter J Webb, p. 91)

This chapter is rich with summaries about emergence and wisdom but I don’t like this conclusion about our purpose during coaching.

I think the coaching session is about challenging our preconceptions as we see the world through the perspective of our clients and when we are doing very well, understanding how their questions are changing over time.
