creating sustainable results in growth and performance
Because the coaching
relationship is unique,
it helps to know what is best to talk about during the call – and
what not to talk about!
HOW YOU ARE
 | How you are feeling about yourself – good stuff and bad stuff |
| How you are looking at your life |
| How you are feeling about others |
WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE LAST CALL
| Shifts, wins and insights |
| Any new choices or decisions made |
| Personal news |
WHAT YOU ARE WORKING ON
| Progress report on your goals, projects and activities |
| What you have done that you are proud of |
| Blocks, solutions, decisions to be made |
WHAT’S NEXT
| What do you want next |
| New knowledge and skills you want |
| Applying new learning |
HOW I CAN HELP
| Where you are stuck |
| Where you are wondering about something |
| A plan of action |
| A strategy or advice |
The coach does not produce the solutions. Coaches are sources of
help but that does not always mean that we know more about some
subject than you. It means we know about helping processes.
Sometimes we help you discover what you already know – and perhaps
better ways to use this. There will also be times we can serve as
resources, in the form of giving information, advice, instruction,
or a referral. Training, tutoring and instruction is not really a
big part – so don’t expect coaching to include business consulting
nor to be a way to increase your technical competence or
understanding. Some of the most common examples of coaching
conversations include:
Counseling focuses on getting past a block and typical
outcomes including:
| Getting underneath problems to their causes |
| Insights and shifts in attitude |
| Commitment to self-sufficiency |
Mentoring focuses on planning and taking responsibility for
development including:
| Developing political savvy (sensitivity to an organisation’s
culture) |
| Personal networking and managing one’s career |
| Increased learning pace |
Questioning focuses on achieving personal discovery via
insights and solutions, including:
| Identifying what’s right for you |
| Exploring solutions & decision making |
| Questions about values and goals |
