Reflection questions: 

  • How comfortable and confident are you with coaching emotions? 
  • Elena shared that most of the time, people share that they don’t want to make someone else uncomfortable; what they’re really afraid of is their own discomfort. Does this apply to you? 
  • What is one thing you heard Elena do that you would like to try on in your next conversation?
