  8. “We’ve each been invited to this present moment by design. Our lives are joined together like the tiles of a mosaic; none of us contributes the whole of the picture, but each of us is necessary for its completion.”-K. Casey & M.Vanceberg (p. 138) Interdependence

  15. Structuring • A coach clearly communicates expectations about purposes and the use of such resources as time, space, and materials. • Should be based on a common understanding of the purposes for the coaching, the roles the coach should play, time allotments, and placement of the coach during observation.

  16. Mediative Questioning “It’s not the answers that enlighten us, but the questions.” • Intentionally designed to engage and transform thinking and perspective. • Questions must meet three criteria: • Invitational in intonation and form • Engage specific complex cognitive processes • Address content that is either external or internal to the other person.
