This is the second webcast of a two-part series on the practice of coaching for people who have an ongoing relationship with clients. The first webcast in this series focused on pitfalls to avoid in coaching, while this one will focus on opportunities to look for to increase your effectiveness as a strengths coach.
Becoming a great coach is a voyage of discovery of yourself that only you can embark on. It’s about understanding your own talents, your own strengths, paying attention to the development process that you go through, developing your own self-awareness, and unlocking the formula that works for you as a coach. What makes you effective as a coach is using your own talents and this looks different for every person.
Opportunities to increase your effectiveness as a coach (summary):
1. Work on setting up the relationship (4 elements)
2. Have a clear contract and agreement on goals and vision and expectations
3. Capitalize on insights
4. Use your time to practice conversations
5. Be aware of familiar refrains
6. Get clarity on mission, purpose and goals
7. Walk the line between asking and telling
8. Periodically evaluate the value derived from the coaching sessions
