Coaching with me

Results & Goals

In the coaching/client relationship if the client is never brought to action then the two are essentially just meeting to have great conversations. In the coaching conversation, through questions the client is pushed to think in new creative and stretching ways with the intention that the client is going to walk away committed to a plan of action with real steps. Listening and asking questions are always the tools that are employed throughout. Coaches do not start the conversation with exploratory listening and questioning only to take over when the strategy begins. Even when the client is brought to a place of strategic action, it is still the client that is discovering the solutions and developing the next steps. Solutions developed by the client are more effective than those forced upon them because: • They fit the personality of the client • They fit the skills and abilities of the client • The client knows more about themselves than the coach • The client will be more committed to the things that they have developed than those that are developed by another authority There are a number of different models that coaches follow to walk clients through this problem-solving process. We are going to share one popular tool: The GROW model so you can see how this works. THE GROW MODEL The GROW model provides a problem-solving track to run on as we’re listening and asking questions. We only progress through each area as the client clarifies, confirms, and commits to them

How I like to coach

SUPPORT & FOLLOWUP In subsequent coaching sessions, we must followup on action items. The coach asks the client for a progress report on the items agreed upon. HEALTHY ACCOUNTABILITY It is voluntary Healthy accountability starts with a voluntary relationship where one person requests the other to hold them accountable for a personal commitment. In a coaching, this is part of the nature of relationship: I will say that I’m going to do “x,” and you are going to ask me about “x” to confirm that I’ve kept my commitment. ENCOURAGEMENT & CELEBRATION If coaches are going to take the time to ask the client to be accountable, it’s important to give credit where credit is due. Affirmation and validation is critical to the success of your client.
