Coaching with Mastery and Elegance with Tijen Genco- Season 2 – Episode 1
In this opening episode of Season 2 of Coaching with Mastery and Elegance, Tijen Genco and Sajili Mohan Chawla explore the Felt Sense Domain — the first domain of the Comprehensive Coaching Taxonomy. This conversation brings forward the subtle yet powerful layer of human experience that emerges before cognition, before narrative, and before interpretation: the precognitive felt sense.
Drawing from the transcript — “felt senses often precognitive… we read sense, and then we make a meaning out of it” — Tijen illuminates how emotional, somatic, and energetic signals form the architecture of transformational language. The episode clarifies common misconceptions, demonstrates the distinction between inquiry and reflection, and shows how masterful partnering allows coaches to perceive what is present beneath the client’s story.
Listeners will learn how to:
- Recognize emotional, somatic, and energetic indicators before meaning‑making
- Avoid reinforcing cognitive distortions or narrative loops
- Use spacious reflections that honor the client’s lived experience
- Partner across cultural shaping and identity influences
- Listen for, into, and with — the three layers of attuned presence
- Discern when emotional, somatic, or energetic access is most supportive
This episode is essential for coaches seeking mastery, mentor coaches, assessors, and leaders who want to deepen their fluency in felt sense inquiry, somatic reflection, and energetic attunement — foundational elements of transformational coaching.
This conversation also lays the groundwork for the upcoming GM Neurologic Approach to Coaching course, where we will explore the deeper layers of the client’s cogno‑emotional landscape — the intertwined cognitive and emotional architectures that shape reactivity, perception, and meaning‑making. If the Felt Sense Domain opens the door to precognitive awareness, the Neurologic Approach expands that doorway into a full developmental pathway, integrating somatic, energetic, and cognitive‑emotional processing for profound human change.
