• Thinkers should be encouraged to see themselves as experts in their own lives, while also recognizing the contextual nature of coaching.
• Coaches need to be mindful of cultural and social conditioning, and the impact it may have on clients' expectations and communication styles.
• Power dynamics, code-switching, and the need for explicitness in coaching conversations are important considerations for effective coaching.
• The E in Stokers can stand for different concepts, such as essence, equity, or expert, depending on the context and the needs of the thinker.
