Another great quality for coaching is lightness. When a coach can bring lightness along with all of these other qualities; it can create a good environment for learning and development. If you think about it, most people find it difficult to learn when they feel immense pressure to perform. The art of lightness is the ability to be able to hold two opposing energies like strong achievement drive and light heartedness at the same time.
There is a time and place for lightness of course, and great coaching leaders know the right time to use it.
