94.0 — Presence
The Condition That Makes Coaching Possible.
Presence matters because technique is far removed from transformation, and especially because presence is the condition that allows every other coaching skill to work.
In coaching conversations, presence is often referenced vaguely. It is described as being “fully there” or “attentive.” In practice, presence is a disciplined state of regulation, availability, and non-interference that fundamentally alters what unfolds in the session.
This post clarifies presence as an active capacity, rather than a passive trait from a wholeness perspective.
