Abstract
In this contribution we present two excerpts of coaching conversations by Chris Iveson and Peter Szabó. Peter and Chris are commenting on important passages of these conver- sations. The transcripts are followed by an e-mail exchange between them looking at what they find unique about the other’s work and answering Michael Hjerth’s micro- evaluation questions on their own work. The article is intro- duced and summarised by Susanne Burgstaller, editor and author of the book in which the contribution first appeared (Burgstaller, 2015).
