ABSTRACT
There is a scene in the film Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) where Indiana Jones gets caught in a snake pit. Through sharpened awareness, great presence of mind and heroic composure, he survives and lives to pursue his next adventure. Empowering the individual through mindful coaching can be like that. Mindful coaching is exciting, but it can also be like walking through a snake pit. As a mindful coach, you’ve got to watch where you place your feet (Bailey, 1995 ). There are certain steps to take and others you need to avoid.
