Description: Mission Price change - increasing the price of Top 5 on May 12, protect pricing for certified coaches Codes are benefit of certification Why - haven’t changed prices in 2 year, making future investments Special price for certified coaches on digital kits Thinking about the future, and how we continually support coaches One angle: best place in the world to understand talent and strengths, world-class coaching Facebook posts - combo of strengths, how to approach, insights to share, helping people accept talent themes Jim Collison Overview: Be prepared Listen Ask great questions Reserve judgment Let the conversation unfold How to prepare: Read definitions Unpack definitions - make lists Read insight cards Lay out cards in front of you Preparing to listen - not speak Preparing for recognition - seeing talents arise in that person Listen and Ask Great Questions: Your job is not to be a psychic - not about parlor tricks You want people left with how great they are, not how insightful you are Think about questions you will ask - write them down Ask open-ended questions Be present Establish the relationship, and know what the person wants to accomplish in the call Find out where they are Your job is to meet them where they are Trust and relatedness are the foundation for the work you will do together. Doesn't take time - can happen in an instant. Think about clues to talent: Listen for where you hear the expression of their talent What comes naturally and intuitively? What is deeply satisfying? What are they drawn to - like a yearning - again and again? Where are the glimpses of excellence? Where does fast learning happen? In other words, they just get it. Those are the things to poke at. Help them become aware. Help them appreciate their own talent. Remember that we mostly take for granted what we are good at. And value what we are not good at. We assume that everyone can do what we do. And that everyone sees the world in the same way. Reserve Judgment: Really listen - and avoid directing the conversation in a way that "makes sense" to you. Or fits your picture of them. If you assert something, make sure it really fits for them. Don't leave them stuck with anything. Let the Conversation Unfold: It's all a process of self-awareness. The person you are coaching always needs to be at choice. They are choosing to participate - and moving at a pace that is comfortable for them.
