1. Concentration claim
In listening, a few high-stakes moments, reflective responses, and removed distractions explain most trust and clarity - while equal "always on" attention and note-taking on every detail fill the calendar.
2. Hard anchors
- ICF Core Competencies - active listening; evoking awareness. https://coachingfederation.org/credentials-and-standards/core-competencies/
- Reflective listening tradition (Rogers/client-centered; Tier 2 hedge) - paraphrase core message, invite correction.
3. Original observation
Two-week heard log - moment / attention / response / outcome - not scorecard.
6. Device budget
≤1 8020 move; before/after table; viz false; no hero.
