In 2023, I spent 7 months studying with Michael Neill on his Genius Catalyst Coaching Certification program.

Michael will be the first to say there’s no such thing as “techniques” when it comes to coaching.

But every time I log onto Zoom to hold a coaching session, I do a few things to tip the odds in my client's favour.

I thought it would be fun to try one of these tipping the odds “techniques” right now, in this email. 

And I’m genuinely curious to find out:

What do you think I’m up to? What “technique” do you think I’m using?

You might be scratching your head thinking “hmmm, there’s not much to go on here Tom. Could I have a clue?”

But actually, I don’t want to give you any clues, lead you in a certain direction or make any guesses about how you might respond.

All these would be missing the point.

That point?

I want to find out what technique YOU think I’m using.

So what’s your guess? What’s popping into your head? Where do you think I’m going with this?

Hit reply and let me know.

If you reply with your guess, I’ll reply back with what I had in mind.

I’ll also share why your answer is the right answer, whatever you say and even if you think you’re wrong.

That might sound balmy.

But if you hit reply and play along, you’ll see exactly what I mean.

Over to you. I'm looking forward to hearing your take on this.
