Trust the Nudge: Coaching with Intuition

Coaching with intuition is like feeling a shift in the wind.

You know the moment.

You’re mid-session, and something shifts.

The words stop mattering so much.

Logic takes a back seat.

You sense an opening—a pause, a flicker of emotion your client didn’t quite say out loud.

That’s your intuition stirring.

Not loud. Not logical. Not linear.

More like … wind. Sometimes it arrives as a gentle breeze nudging you toward a question you hadn’t planned to ask. Sometimes it rushes in like a gust, sweeping the session off your neatly mapped agenda and straight into the heart of truth.

In Co-Active Coaching, intuition is one of the five contexts—an essential current that arises not from deduction but from presence. It isn’t about being right; it’s about being attuned. It’s the art of noticing what’s just beneath the surface, allowing insight to emerge without forcing it.

When you coach from that place, transformation happens not through explanation, but through exploration.
