‘Chunking down’ coaching topics and goals
A large topic or goal often really challenges coaches. Here’s how they can approach it.
Developing a deeper questioning technique
There is great power in deeper questions and questioning. Here’s how to begin to go deeper.
Insufficient coaching contracting
15 minutes of contracting is not enough, but it is common. Longer contracting opens up opportunities and reduces risks.
3 Way Contracting
Having 3 way conversation is a key part of contracting, but it is often overlooked by new coaches.
Getting your client to view situations from different perspectives
It’s tempting to just focus on the client’s view; examining a variety of perspectives transforms the outcomes.
Coaching the person and not the problem
New coaches often focus on ‘fixing the problem’. Coaching is about much more than this…
Seeking client feedback
Many new coaches forget or overlook seeking feedback at the end of the session, yet they want to know how they are performing.
Establishing your client’s goal
Commonly over looked, but the client’s goal or outcome is the foundation for the coaching conversation.
Developing the client relationship
Coaching relationships begin from first contact. But it’s easy to focus the process than the relationship.
