How to Use the ‘Art of Noticing’ in Your Coaching Practice

The ‘art of noticing’ goes beyond simply paying attention: it refers to the ability to observe and understand crucial changes in a participant’s approach, behaviour, and development. It’s a foundational skill, enabling you to recognise when an activity needs to be adjusted to meet an individual or group’s needs to achieve success or to increase the challenge and motivation.

It also refers to the ability to understand the implications of an adjustment or ‘tweak’ and the impact this may have on the session, individuals, and the outcome of the session.
