| The Coaching Client and Metacognition |
| Client metacognition is the process where the client "thinks" about his or her thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Focusing on oneself enables the client to better access the internalized mental representation of the standards and reference values by which the client evaluates his or her performance (Stober & Grant, 2006). Hollenbeck & Brief, 1987, and Church, 1997, found that high-performing managers were significantly more self-aware than low performing managers. |
