Effective coaching

Back in the days when I was starting my work as a software developer I used a method that was called “rubber duck programming”. The concept was that you put a rubber duck, it could be anything but why not a rubber duck, next to you monitor so that you could have a discussion with “someone” abut your problems. We humans need to discuss things, and when we speak out our thoughts it is easier for our brain to find the threads that we miss when we “only think”. Of course if you get the possibility to interact with a human or even a professional coach, someone that listen to you and your needs, helps you to reflect on things that you might not have done is of course even better. But sometimes a rubber duck is all you need.
